Девушка Тэсс Дарбейфилд устала от бедности. В попытке наладить свою жизнь она обращается к своим предполагаемым родственникам, аристократическому семейству д`Эрбервиллей. Тэсс становится жертвой её кузена Алека, сластолюбца и манипулятора, превратившего её жизнь в череду трагедий и несправедливых обид. Однажды в её жизни появляется надежда на спасение и семейное счастье в лице мистера Энджела Клэра. Но согласится ли новый избранник принять Тэсс, узнав её постыдную тайну?Отношения героини с двумя очень разными мужчинами стали призмой, сквозь которую Гарди демонстрирует читателю ханжество, лицемерие и двойные стандарты презираемой им викторианской морали. Полный жгучего пафоса и пронзительно искренний роман «Тэсс из рода д`Эрбервиллей» с подзаголовком «Чистая женщина, правдиво изображённая» вызвал возмущение со стороны общественности и подвергся цензуре после публикации. Тем не менее, в наши дни он считается вершиной литературного творчества Гарди. Как и во многих других книгах Гарди (например, в романе «Вдали от обезумевшей толпы»), местом действия истории стал регион Уэссекс, частично вымышленная версия юго-запада в Англии, за которым с подачи классика закрепилось это название. Сельская жизнь того времени изображена им с несравненным мастерством.По книге были сняты несколько одноимённых фильмов и сериалов, а также кинокартины «Книга любви», «Невеста на одну ночь», «Тэсс» и «Красавица из трущоб».Издание в мягкой обложке.Книга на английском языке.

She worked in the house I grew up in, year after year, a shadow flitting around our middle-class home, her thin brown hands cleaning furniture she was not allowed to sit on, cooking food she was not allowed to share at the family dining table, dusting the stereo that mainly played American rock and roll, music that was alien and unfamiliar to her, that only reminded her of her nebulous presence in our home, our world, our lives.’ Thrity UmrigarSet in contemporary Bombay, ‘The Space Between Us’ tells the story of Sera Dubash, an upper-middle-class Parsi housewife and Bhima, the woman who works as a domestic servant in her home.
