Tess of the D’Urbervilles
Tomas Hardi
"Her affection for him was now the breath and life of Tess's being; it enveloped her as a photosphere, irradiated her into forgetfulness of her past sorrows, keeping back the gloomy spectres that would persist in their attempts to touch her—doubt, fear, moodiness, care, shame. She knew that they were waiting like wolves just outside the circumscribing light, but she had long spells of power to keep them in hungry subjection there."

When Tess Durbeyfield is driven by family poverty to claim kinship with the wealthy D'Urbervilles and seek a portion of their family fortune, meeting her 'cousin' Alec proves to be her downfall. A very different man, Angel Clare, seems to offer her love and salvation, but Tess must choose whether to reveal her past or remain silent in the hope of a peaceful future. With its sensitive depiction of the wronged Tess and powerful criticism of social convention, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, subtitled „A Pure Woman“, is one of the most moving and poetic of Hardy's novels.

Tomas Hardi
Tomas Hardi (1840-1928) engleski je pisac i pesnik. Odmalena studiozan i sklon samostalnom obrazovanju, Hardi se okrenuo proučavanju poezije, te prve stihove piše 1860. Godine 1891.Tomas Hardi objavljuje "Tes od roda D’Erbervila", roman koji su neki kritičari smatrali nemoralnim, ali su njihovi komentari u ovom slučaju bili umereni u odnosu na one koje će izazvati "Neznani Džud" 1895. godine. Nakon takvog prijema, Hardi će napustiti pisanje proze i posvetiti se poeziji. Iako je godinama u braku Tomasa i Eme Hardi vladalo otuđenje, neke od najlepših njegovih pesama inspirisane su upravo odnosom sa Emom. Godine 1898. objavljuje "Wessex Poems", kolekciju pesama u kojoj su se našle i prerađene verzije pesama iz 1860. Godine 1912. Ema umire, a Hardi, duboko pogođen kajanjem, piše pesme koje se smatraju vrhuncem njegovog poetskog izraza ("After a Journey", "The Voice", "Poems of 1912-13"). Hardi se ponovo ženi 1914. Njegova izabranica Florens Emili Dagdejl, gotovo četrdeset godina mlađa od njega, zaslužna je za Hardijevu produktivnost u starijim godinama, jer se predano starala o njegovom zdravlju, udobnosti i privatnosti. Tomas Hardi je umro 11. januara 1928. godine, odlikovan raznim počastima, uključujući i Orden za zasluge, 1910. godine.
