Fiction
The Mayor of Casterbridge
Hardy builds his trap carefully, then watches Michael Henchard walk straight into it. This is a story about a man trying to outrun his own character and discovering that's impossible. Every attempt Henchard makes to fix his past mistakes creates new ones. The machinery of consequence grinds steadily forward, powered by pride and stubbornness. For readers who appreciate the terrible logic of Greek tragedy dressed up in English country clothes.
