Thomas Hardy
Leído por Bob Neufeld
Tess of the d'Urbervilles follows the life of Tess, a young woman of humble origins who discovers her connection to a noble lineage. Set against the backdrop of rural England, Hardy's novel explores Tess's struggles with societal expectations, love, and fate as she navigates a world that often seems determined to thwart her.
As Tess encounters the complexities of her relationships, particularly with the wealthy d'Urberville family and her own moral dilemmas, the story delves into themes of innocence, victimization, and the harsh realities of Victorian society. Hardy's poignant prose captures the beauty and brutality of Tess's journey, making her a symbol of resilience in the face of adversity.
With its rich character development and exploration of social issues, Tess of the d'Urbervilles remains a powerful commentary on the constraints placed upon women and the consequences of societal judgment. This novel invites listeners to reflect on the enduring struggles for autonomy and dignity.

Absolute stunning journey , finally ended. the voice made it so real that every word every line every page, every characters no matter major or minor, stands in front of my eyes. the beauty of Nature and the wickedness and pathetic condition of Human nature was so intricately and incredibly expressed in this novel by Thomas Hardy that the voice of the reader made it alive simply... I thank you so much to all the persons who have taken effort to create this amazing audio book and wish them good luck for further works.

It's well written, well read, but certainly a tragedy with some glimmers of light throughout.

Did not like the book, tragic in an over the top way for me. But the reader was good!
Michele Eddy
Powerful, accurate and poetical. Gut-wrenching. I've listened twice. I'm sure I'll listen again. I love Hardy's descriptions.
