Tess of the d'Urbervilles.
3.99 €
Love and crime are intricately intertwined in the fate of young Tess, a penniless heiress of an ancient family, doomed to be a kept woman - and ready to reverse this fate at the cost of her own life! After being victimized by a rich seducer, she protests against the gross violation of human dignity and is forced to commit murder. "A deceived honest man is often very cruel when the veil falls from his eyes."
A classic novel of passion, tragedy and loss, made legendary these days by Roman Polanski's movie. Tess is a cheerful, modest and gentle girl. Sweet and attractive. Scorned and ruined. Will she be able to realize her dreams after committing a "sin" not of her own free will? Or will society's prejudices bring her down? And why should she pay for something not her fault? It is hard to turn back one's life, but it is even harder for someone who has already made the turn and sees that fate does not favor him, but rather mocks his timid steps on a new path.
