"Tess of the D'Urbervilles," written by Thomas Hardy, follows the tragic life of Tess Durbeyfield, a peasant girl who discovers that she is a descendant of the noble D'Urberville family. Tess faces numerous challenges and societal pressures as she navigates love, innocence, and betrayal. After a fateful encounter with the wealthy Alec D'Urberville, her life spirals downward, leading to sorrow and hardship. Her chance meeting with Angel Clare, a man of ideals, brings hope but ultimately results in more heartache. Hardy poignantly explores themes of social injustice, fate, and the constraints of Victorian society in this powerful novel. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
