Scritto nel 1874, apparso anonimo a puntate, il romanzo ottenne generali critiche positive e segn l'inizio della carriera letteraria dell'autore. E' la storia di una ragazza che, nel temperamento e nella volont di indipendenza, sembra l'antesignana di Rossella O'Hara di Via col vento (una delle sue frasi: "mi piacerebbe sposarmi, se solo non dovessi poi vivere con un marito"). La vita impartir una dura lezione al suo orgoglio. Ma il vero protagonista , come nei romanzi di Hardy, lo scenario: l'idilliaca campagna inglese, e la vita contadina fatta di piccoli grandi eventi e di infinite discussioni accanto al fuoco. Tre gli adattamenti cinematografici, di cui indimenticabile quello del 1967, per la regia di John Schlesinger, fedele al testo e allo spirito del romanzo. Traduzione di Silvia Cecchini.

Young Tess Durbeyfield attempts to restore her family's fortunes by claiming their connection with the aristocratic d'Urbervilles. But Alec d'Urberville is a rich wastrel who seduces her and makes her life miserable. When Tess meets Angel Clare, she is offered true love and happiness, but her past catches up with her and she faces an agonizing moral choice. Hardy's indictment of society's double standards, and his depiction of Tess as "a pure woman," caused controversy in his day and has held the imagination of readers ever since. Hardy thought it his finest novel, and Tess the most deeply felt character he ever created.

Bathsheba Everdene is a headstrong young woman who attracts the attentions of a succession of ill-matched suitors: a quiet sheep farmer, a handsome soldier and an older, wealthy landowner. As the men vie for her affections, she struggles to retain her independence of spirit in the face of their declarations. Introducing readers to the fictional county of Wessex, Thomas Hardy’s fourth work of fiction was one of his greatest triumphs, both commercially and critically. Its tale ofpassion, jealousy and unrequited love is now regarded as one of the finest novels of the nineteenth century, and one of the greatest love stories of all time.
