"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) nasceu em Dorset, na Inglaterra. Escreveu romances, peças de teatro e poesia. É considerado um dos grandes escritores realistas do período vitoriano. Fortemente influenciadas por George Eliot, William Wordsworth, e também por Charles Dickens, as obras de Thomas Hardy abordam temas relacionados com o casamento, a educação e a religião e o modus vivendi que poderá ser a causa da infelicidade humana.
Hardy está sepultado na Abadia de Westminster.
