Tess of the D’Urbervilles
by Thomas Hardy
Thomas Hardy’s best known work, and arguably his deepest, Tess of the D’Urbervilles explores the many facets of human frailty through its heroine, Tess Durbeyfield. Tess, a complicated and powerless victimized character restrained by many unfortunate occurrences, fights for a life she can live without shame. Questioning and challenging human morale, strength, and emotion, this remarkable story will stay with its reader for years to come.
