The Mayor of Casterbridge: With 13 Illustrations and a Free Audio Link.

The Mayor of Casterbridge is a tragic novel. It is set in the fictional town of Casterbridge in rustic England, (based on the town of Dorchester in Dorset).

A poor, disgruntled, drunken young man sells his wife and child to the highest bidder. When he awakens, sober, the next day he regrets his rash act and vows to give up drink and find his family and bring them home. Eventually he is forced to give up the search and move on with his life. He does this quite successfully until, nearly 20 years later, his past comes back to haunt him.
