Over the course of the following years, he manages to establish himself as a respected and prosperous pillar of the community of Casterbridge, but behind his success there always lurk the shameful secret of his past and a personality prone to self-destructive pride and temper. Subtitled 'A Story of a Man of Character', Hardy's powerful and sympathetic study of the heroic but deeply flawed Henchard is also an intensely dramatic work, tragically played out against the vivid backdrop of a close-knit Dorsetshire town.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52903836254517,"sku":"EB_LI0800_B10-02_DUBAI","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/7773\/1381\/files\/9780241347775-1_e2438acf-062a-42d9-9f02-61e1ec47893f.jpg?v=1789701144","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.ae\/ja\/products\/9780241347775","provider":"Books Kinokuniya UAE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
