The Mayor of Casterbridge (Bantam Classics)
Hardy's novel begins with the famous scene in which Michael Henchard, a young farmer, gets drunk at a village fair and sells his wife and baby daughter to a passing sailor for five guineas. The consequences of this impulsive act are regrettable and far-reaching, and culminate in Henchard's ruin and his death in obscurity as a lonely old man. Henchard is similar to the heroes of Greek tragedies who destroy themselves through weaknesses in their own character. (The subtitle of the novel is "The Life and Death of a Man of Character.")

Romola
George Eliot's exhaustively researched historical novel is the story of a good woman, Romola, who loves an evil man. Set in Renaissance Italy, it is also about Savanarola and his doomed efforts to bring democratic reform to the corrupt city of Florence. When Romola, disappointed on both the personal and the political levels by the failure of her ideals, falls into despair, she is redeemed by others' need of her. George Eliot said of this novel, "I began it a young woman--I finished it an old woman".
