Tess of the D`Urbervilles

Tess of the D`Urbervilles Kısa Özet

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, subtitled `A Pure Woman`, is one of the most moving and poetic of Hardy`s novels.
