«Tess d'Urberville» is the classic novel by Thomas Hardy, published in 1974 by Le Livre de Poche in paperback format (474 pages, in French).
Tess, a young peasant girl from the English countryside, is seduced and abandoned by Alec d'Urberville, a man of superior social standing. Marked by scandal and the double moral standards of the Victorian era, her story becomes a descent into shame and exclusion imposed by puritanical society.
Translated by Madeleine Rolland and edited by André Topia, it belongs to the Classiques collection from Le Livre de Poche. The English original was published in 1891 under the title «Tess of the d'Urbervilles».
For readers of Victorian literature and 19th-century classics who value social criticism, rural settings, and tragic characters.
Thomas Hardy was an English novelist, poet and architect. A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, including the poetry of William Wordsworth. He was highly critical of much in Victorian society, especially on the declining status of rural people in Britain such as those from his native South West England.
