The Mayor Of Casterbridge By Thomas Hardy Unabridged Collector's Edition 10 Audio Cassettes 14 Hours Narrated By Jenny Sterlin Author:Thomas Hardy "One of the great novelists of British literature, Thomas Hardy caused quite a stir when this powerful novel was first published. As with most of Hardy's best work, The Mayor of Casterbridge is sharply critical of 19th-century morality and social conventions. In a drunken haze Michael Henchard sells his wife and child to a sailor for five guinea... more »s at the local fair. The next morning Henchard awakes, realizes the magnitude of what he has done, and swears he will not drink again. More than two decades later, Henchard has grown wealthy and is the Mayor of Casterbridge---but he can never escape the tragic repercussions of his past. Jenny Sterlin's compelling narration enlivens this timeless classic with a renewed sense of significance."
