About This Novel
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), a master of British fiction and poetry. "Tess" is his most famous novel masterpiece. The poor and beautiful heroine Tess loses her virginity to Alec, a bad boy from a rich family because of her youth and ignorance. She suffers mental and material torture, and loses her true love Claire because of it. Finally, she kills Alec out of grief, anger and despair, and walks to the gallows calmly. The great charm and courage of Tess's humanity and soul make her one of the most touching female images in the literary gallery. Hardy vividly demonstrates his deep-rooted tragic outlook on fate and broad and profound humanistic compassion through the tragic experiences of the pure and beautiful Tess's short life.
