书籍介绍
Thomas Hardy’s almost supernatural insight into the course of wayward lives, his instinctive feeling for the beauty of the rural landscape, and his power to invest that landscape with moral significance all came together in an utterly fluent way in The Mayor of Casterbridge. A classically shaped story about the rise and fall of the brooding and sometimes brutal Michael Henchard in the harsh world of nineteenth-century rural England, The Mayor of Casterbridge is an emblematic product of Hardy’s maturity–vigorous, forceful, and unclouded by illusions.

Happiness was but the occasional episode in a general drama of pain. 这句太赞
didn't finish it off though i tried my best to. can totally foresee what a great vision and structure Hardy's pulling off, but his a bit trifling to me, or it is me that is too trifling?
本学期需要读的最后一本书。读完就可以滚回家了，内牛满面，无法自持。【5-10】Brennan躺在草地上放声朗读了第二章。
like the ending

没有《苔丝》好，感觉是为了让男主悲惨而悲惨 🤣 反而失去真实性了，Happiness was but the occasional episode in a general drama of pain倒是说得好
