Features: As a literary giant across eras, Hardy was both an outstanding representative of the 19th-century British critical realism novelists and the "father of modern poetry" who successfully explored and pioneered in the 20th century. This book tells the story of Tess, a simple and beautiful rural girl who was violated by a wealthy man. On her wedding night, she tells her husband about her misfortune, but he cannot forgive her and leaves her. Forced by livelihood, Tess has to live with the wealthy man. Later, her husband changes his mind and wishes to reconcile with Tess. In despair, Tess believes the wealthy man ruined her happiness for life and kills him, only to be executed herself.
