Over the course of the following years, he manages to establish himself as a respected and prosperous pillar of the community of Casterbridge, but behind his success there always lurk the shameful secret of his past and a personality prone to self-destructive pride and temper. Subtitled 'A Story of a Man of Character', Hardy's powerful and sympathetic study of the heroic but deeply flawed Henchard is also an intensely dramatic work, tragically played out against the vivid backdrop of a close-knit Dorsetshire town.","brand":"Thomas Hardy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43515629699133,"sku":null,"price":23.74,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780141439785.jpg?v=1787487240","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/the-mayor-of-casterbridge-9780141439785","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
