It is now considered one of the finest novels in English.&&LBR&&R&&LBR&&RUsing richly poetic language to frame a shattering narrative of love, seduction, betrayal, and murder, Hardy tells the story of Tess Durbeyfield, a beautiful young woman living with her impoverished family in Wessex, the southwestern English county immortalized by Hardy. After the family learns of their connection to the wealthy d’Urbervilles, they send Tess to claim a portion of their fortune. She meets and is seduced by the dissolute Alec d’Urberville and secretly bears a child, Sorrow, who dies in infancy. A very different man, Angel Clare, seems to offer Tess love and salvation, but he rejects her—on their wedding night—after learning of her past. Emotionally bereft, financially impoverished, and victimized by the self-righteous rigidity of English social morality, Tess escapes from her vise of passion through a horrible, desperate act.&&LBR&&R&&LBR&&RWith its compassionate portrait of a young rural woman, powerful criticism of social convention, and disarming consideration of the role of destiny in human life, &&LI&&RTess of the D’Urbervilles&&L/I&&R is one of the most moving and memorable of Hardy’s novels.&&LBR&&R&&L/P&&R&&LP style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&&R&&LSTRONG&&RDavid Galef&&L/B&&R&&L/B&&R has published nine books: the novels &&LI&&RFlesh&&L/I&&R and &&LI&&RTurning Japanese;&&L/I&&R two childrens books, &&LI&&RThe Little Red Bicycle&&L/I&&R and&&LI&&R Tracks;&&L/I&&R two translations of Japanese proverbs, &&LI&&REven Monkeys Fall from Trees&&L/I&&R and &&LI&&REven a Stone Buddha Can Talk;&&L/I&&R a work of literary criticism, &&LI&&RThe Supporting Cast;&&L/I&&R an edited anthology of essays called &&LI&&RSecond Thoughts: A Focus on Rereading;&&L/I&&R and, most recently, the short-story collection &&LI&&RLaugh Track.&&L/I&&R In addition, he has written more than seventy short stories for magazines ranging from the British &&LI&&RPunch&&L/I&&R to the Czech &&LI&&RPrague Revue,&&L/I&&R the Canadian &&LI&&RPrism International,&&L/I&&R and the American &&LI&&RShenandoah.&&L/I&&R His essays and reviews have appeared in the &&LI&&RNew York Times, Newsday,&&L/I&&R the &&LI&&RVillage Voice, Twentieth Century Literature, The Columbia History of the British Novel,&&L/I&&R and many other places.
