Far From the Madding Crowd - Unabridged

The plot centers on what is essentially a love quadrangle between the bewitching Bathsheba Everdene, the earnest and loyal shepherd Gabriel Oak, a reckless and wild soldier Sergeant Troy as well as the elusive and reclusive William Boldwood. As their lives become increasingly entangled, themes of love, honor and dependence become central to the story and the lives and livelihoods of the various characters are increasingly imperiled.
