Oxford Bookworms 6. Tess of d'Urbervilles MP3 Pack

Resumen del libro

A pretty young girl has to leave home to make money for her family.
She is clever and a good worker; but she is uneducated and does not know the cruel ways of the world.
So, when a rich young man says he loves her, she is careful - but not careful enough.
He is persuasive, and she is overwhelmed.
It is not her fault, but the world says it is.
Her young life is already stained by men's desires, and by death.

Biografía del autor

Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) fue uno de los principales escritores de la Inglaterra victoriana. Sus novelas, entre las que destacan, aparte de "Tess", "El regreso del nativo" y "Jude el Oscuro", están llenas de fuerza y pasión, y suelen contraponer el medio rural con el urbano y al individuo con la sociedad que lo rodea.
