Tess of the D'Urbervilles is a novel written by Thomas Hardy that tells the story of Tess, a young woman from a poor family in rural England. Tess is sent to work for a wealthy family, the D'Urbervilles, and is seduced by their son, Alec. After becoming pregnant and giving birth to a child who dies soon after, Tess leaves the D'Urbervilles and tries to start a new life. She meets and falls in love with Angel Clare, but when she confesses her past to him, he rejects her. Tess is left alone and struggling to survive, and she eventually reunites with Alec, who offers to take care of her. However, when Angel returns and asks for Tess's forgiveness, she chooses to be with him instead. The novel explores themes of class, morality, and the role of women in society. It is considered a classic of English literature and is often studied in schools and universities.A young member of the band turned her head at the exclamation. She was a fine and handsome girl--not handsomer than some others, possibly--but her mobile peony mouth and large innocent eyes added eloquence to colour and shape. She wore a red ribbon in her hair, and was the only one of the white company who could boast of such a pronounced adornment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
