TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES. Tess's unfortunate story begins when her drunken father discovers that her surname dates back to ancient Norman nobility. Young, beautiful and innocent, Tess Durbeyfield is driven to assert her kinship with the very wealthy d'Urbervilles and claim a share of the family fortune. However, he becomes the object of desire of Alee D'Urberville, the manipulative son of the family. Tess's fate seems doomed, but then a very different man intervenes, Angel Clare. He seems to offer her love and salvation, but what will he think of the secrets of the young woman's past? As the relationship between the two blossoms, the beautiful Tess will find herself at the crossroads of opening her heart to him or keeping silent. THE RETURN OF THE NATIVE. The whisper of the wind sweeps the ponds and paths of Egdon Heaths, forest and moorland where gorse grows and the winter nights are cold and soulless. And it is to that inhospitable place where Clym Yeobright returns after having lived in Paris, a sparkling and cosmopolitan city and the place from which the beautiful and young Eustacia wants to escape, who aspires to live in the tinsel and brilliance of the French capital. Its landscape is gloomy, its paths winding, its locals rough, its pools dangerous, but there is something magnetic about Egdon, something capable of trapping its inhabitants except Eustacia, of holding them in a world in which time seems to have stopped. And it is there, in that place, according to some, sinister, according to others, the home to which one always returns, where the drama unfolds, where loves cross and uncross, where death, perhaps suicide, lurks.
