"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.
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.
