Editorial Review: 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.
Reader Reviews for Tess of the D'Urbervilles (Penguin Classics): Customer Rating: Summary: Tess of the D'Urbervilles Comment: This was a Christmas gift for my oldest granddaughter. I was very pleased with the item and the shipping. She was delighted to receive the book. I will shop for Christmas and other occasions from Amazon. Customer Rating: Summary: Penguin clothbound classics Comment: The Penguin clothbound classics are beautiful. They make beautiful gifts and look great on the bookshelf. I looked everywhere and the price I paid on Amazon ($13.60) is by far the cheapest. They're a bargain at that price. Customer Rating: Summary: Classic-looking Classics Comment: What a gorgeous package for classic titles. These books deserve to be feted on design blogs because they are works of art. I can't wait to have more on my shelf. Customer Rating: Summary: Book Comment: Beautiful book. I love the fabric cover. There is also a ribbon book marker in each of these books in a coordinating color! Customer Rating: Summary: Alec or Angel? False Morality Exposed through one Woman's Innocence Comment: "I became acquainted with Thomas Hardy through another of his classic works, which lent to my curiosity on this one when the audio version was made available to me. It was an experience, to the say the least, hearing how the innocent life of this girl of late 19th century England played out. For no reason other than her own naiveté is she rendered with injustice and prejudicial attitudes of the day - Hardy's denouncement of his own country's false morals. In my view, all males of our current day and age should find this impressive work required reading, and then determine whether they are an Alec D'urberville or an Angel Clare. It seems we all fall into one category or the other."
