About the Book

Michael Henchard, drunk at a country fair, sells his wife and baby daughter for five guineas. The following day, in despair and remorse, he forswears alcohol and sets out to redeem himself. In time, he becomes a respected merchant and eventually the mayor of the town. But Fate is not to be so easily appeased, and Henchard finds his past actions resonate through and destroy his plans for the future. One of the greatest novels in the English language, The Mayor of Casterbridge sees Thomas Hardy at his best, bringing landscape and richly imagined characters to life and setting the hope of love against the forces of Providence.

About the Author :
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), English poet, dramatist, and novelist, was born on the Egdon Heath in Dorset. He studied in Dorchester and apprenticed to an architect before leaving for London, where he began to write. Unable to find a public for his poetry, which idealized the rural life, he turned to the novel and met with success as well as controversy. The strong public reaction against some of his darker themes turned him back to writing verse. Today several of his novels are considered masterpieces of tragedy. Anton Lesser has, as an associate artist with the Royal Shakespeare Company, played many of Shakespeare's most demanding roles, including Troilus (Troilus and Cressida), Edgar (King Lear), Petruchio, Romeo, and Richard III. He is a frequent radio contributor and has recorded many audiobooks, including much of the work of Charles Dickens. Lesser's narration has won him seven AudioFile Earphones Awards.

Review :
"Anton Lesser's narration is noteworthy. He admirably transforms Hardy's written text into an oral one. Not only does he skillfully convey a broad range of character qualities, he also adroitly reproduces the broad country accents used by many of Hardy's characters--making them understandable without sacrificing any of their authenticity." -- "AudioFile"
