Tess of the d'Urbervilles

Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy: "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" tells the tragic story of Tess Durbeyfield, a young woman from a poor rural family who discovers her aristocratic heritage. The novel explores themes of fate, morality, and the rigid social norms of Victorian England. As Tess's life is shaped by events beyond her control, including a tumultuous romance with the charismatic Alec d'Urberville and her relationship with the compassionate Angel Clare, Hardy's narrative examines the harsh consequences of society's judgment on female purity. With its powerful critique of societal double standards and its portrayal of a flawed yet resilient heroine, "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" remains a timeless classic in English literature.
