Tess of The d’Urbervilles
“Why didn’t you tell me there was danger in men-folk? Why didn’t you warn me?”Tess Durbeyfield, the young, graceful and virtuous daughter of a poor peddler, falls prey to the unscrupulous desires of Alec d’Urberville, the rich and licentious heir of the d’Urberville estate where she is sent to work as a farmhand. After giving birth to his son who dies in a few weeks, Tess joins a dairy farm outside the village, working as a milkmaid. Her life seems to change for good when she meets Angel Clare, the progressive son of a parson, who falls in love with her and wants to marry her. But as their wedding date approaches, Tess finds herself on the horns of a dilemma, overshadowed by the bitter truth of her past. A victim of the nineteenth-century English social morality, what sort of future awaits Tess?Received critically by the readers of his era, Thomas Hardy’s Tess of d’Urbervilles is a heart-rending tragedy. Listed among the best-loved novels of all time on The Big Read, a survey conducted by BBC, the novel has undergone numerous adaptations and continues to appeal to its readers.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Huck is back.. Taken for a son by Widow Douglas; struggling against the society and its attempts to ‘civilize’ him.Escaping his alcoholic father by faking his death, we join him as he voyages down the Mississippi River seeking liberation. Finding his way to Jackson’s island he meets Jim, Mrs. Watson’s runaway slave. What happens as they team up, capture a raft and encounter a seemingly haphazard array of people and situations? Immersed in deadly violence, finding tranquility only on the river with Jim, will Huckleberry Finn find the freedom and independence he is seeking? A direct sequel to the Adventures of Tom Sawyer, it traces Huck’s moral development as he moves from having an unthinking acceptance of received knowledge and values to developing an independently achieved understanding of what is right.A scathing satire on entrenched attitudes, Twain’s the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn defines the American Dream of young heroes. Sometimes ironic, sometimes mocking, sometimes boyish and exuberant, it is named among the Great American Novels.
