Tess Of The Durbervilles

“Innocent young peasant placed in a family, Tess is seduced and abandoned by Alec d'Urberville, one of his young masters. The child she gives birth dies at birth. In puritan English society of the late nineteenth century, this is an irrefutable fault, that the girl will be wrong not to want to conceal. From then on, her destiny is a descent into hell of shame and decay.”
