THOMAS HARDY - GEBRAUCHT TESS OF THE DURBERVILL...

The Penguin English Library Edition of Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy "I would be
content  ay  glad  to live with you as your servant  if I may not as your wife  so that I could
only be near you  and get glimpses of you  and think of you as mine ... I long for only one
thing in heaven or earth or under the earth  to meet you  my own dear! Come to me - come to me
and save me from what threatens me!" When Tess Durbeyfield is driven by family poverty to claim
kinship with the wealthy D'Urbervilles and seek a portion of their family fortune  meeting her
'cousin' Alec proves to be her downfall. A very different man  Angel Clare  seems to offer her
love and salvation  but Tess must choose whether to reveal her past or remain silent in the
hope of a peaceful future. With its sensitive depiction of the wronged Tess and powerful
criticism of social convention  Tess of the D'Urbervilles is one of the most moving and poetic
of Hardy's novels. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English 
from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
