Far from the Madding Crowd. In the Land of Woods

Thomas Hardy is considered the last writer of the Victorian era. He owes his fame primarily to the cycle of works created between 1872 and 1895 — the so-called novels of character and environment. The novel "Far from the Madding... Crowd" (1874) gained wide recognition. Proud and independent Bathsheba Everdene dreams of love. There are several possible suitors, but in each admirer, the girl finds a flaw — one is too virtuous, another is too old and dull... But soon a dashing handsome sergeant appears, and intrigue, mystery, crime, violated honor, and, of course, true, genuine passion come to the forefront. This story has been adapted for the screen several times. The events of the novel "In the Land of Woods" (1887) also unfold against the backdrop of the quiet Victorian countryside. Fate promises Grace Melbury a bright future. She is educated, attractive, and could make a worthy man happy. At least, that’s what her father believes, willing to do much for his daughter...
