英国の中堅作家ハーディの代表作であり、映像化により知名度も相応に高い作品である。
危惧していた「性的描写」はまったく穏やかで、安心して読み進められる。
" The Convert" の章の以下フレーズが、ハーディの主張なのであろう・・・。
The beauty or ugliness of a character lay not only its achievements, but in its aims and impulses; its true history lay not only among things done, but among things willed.
What Tess had been was of no importance beside what she would be.
結婚前に起きた不幸な過去の経験(=原罪)を克服してゆくヒューマンストーリーである。
ヒロインであるテスの 「 美貌 」 を再三にわたり強調する意図がやや不明ではあるが、平凡ながらも田園風景をバックにキリスト教義をうまく散りばめながら「人間賛歌」を謳うハーディの健筆がなかなかの力量を見せている。
原文で楽しむ書籍の選択肢のひとつとしての候補となる小説である、と評し得よう。

A heartbreaking portrayal of a woman faced by an impossible choice in the pursuit of happiness
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.
Based on the three-volume first edition that shocked readers when first published in 1891, this edition includes as appendices: Hardy's Prefaces, the Landscapes of Tess, episodes originally censored from the Graphic periodical version, and a selection of the Graphic illustrations.
For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

レビュー
“[Tess of the D’Urbervilles is] Hardy’s finest, most complex and most notorious novel . . . The novel is not a mere plea for compassion for the eternal victim, though that is the banner it flies. It also involves a profound questioning of contemporary morality.” –from the Introduction by Patricia Ingham
著者について
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) immortalized the site of his birth—Egdon Heath, in Dorset, near Dorchester—in his writing. Delicate as a child, he was taught at home by his mother before he attended grammar school. At sixteen, Hardy was apprenticed to an architect, and for many years, architecture was his profession; in his spare time, he pursued his first and last literary love, poetry. Finally convinced that he could earn his living as an author, he retired from architecture, married, and devoted himself to writing. An extremely productive novelist, Hardy published an important book every year or two. In 1896, disturbed by the public outcry over the unconventional subjects of his two greatest novels—Tess of the D’Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure—he announced that he was giving up fiction and afterward produced only poetry. In later years, he received many honors. He was buried in Poet’s Corner, in Westminster Abbey. It was as a poet that he wished to be remembered, but today critics regard his novels as his most memorable contribution to English literature for their psychological insight, decisive delineation of character, and profound presentation of tragedy.

I bought this recently and it turned out to be an abridged version although the title on Amazon says ”Unabridged”. This is the first time such a thing happenned on Amazon. Hope the title error is corrected soon. This recording is excellent though I intended to have the unabridged version.

初め映画で見て、次に日本語訳で読み、今回初めて原文に
接しました。文章が詩的で難解な表現が多いですが、英文の方が
わかりやすいところもあると感じました。
登場人物の数はそれほど多くなく、筋も構成も複雑ではないので、
展開がつかみやすいです。しかし作者が意図するところを深く
読もうとすると、それほど簡単ではありません。
読後感じたことは、Alecは本当はTessを愛していたのではないかと
いう点です。それに反してAngelは潔癖すぎるのではないかという気がします。
Tessは清純なるがゆえに、正直に告白してしまったと思われます。
印象的な場面は多数あります。筆者が感じた感動的な場面は次のところです。
* Tessが眠ってしまい、家族の貴重な財産である馬を誤って殺してしまうところ。
* Tessが自分で死亡した自分の赤子の洗礼をするところ。Sorrowという名前にする。
* AngelがTessを抱いて川を渡っている時に愛を告白するところ。
* TessがAngelに彼の夢の中で抱かれていくところ。そこで本当の彼の心を知る。
* Angelと別れ、絶望の淵にたたされた時に、狩猟で撃たれた雉たちを見て生きる勇気をえたところ。
* TessがAngelの両親に会いに行くため朝3時に起きて16マイルの旅で歩いていくところ。
* 絶望の中で過酷な脱穀労働をしているところ
* Stonehengeの中でTessが目覚める時、やさしくAngelが見守るところ。

原典、訳文とも読んでいましたが、原典、翻訳を比較するために購入。
日本語の翻訳が複数出ていますが、かなり問題を残していると思います。
言葉の翻訳だけではなく、イギリスや日本の農村についてよく勉強してから、翻訳してほしいですね。

This is the first book that I read Thomas Hardy book.
Good detail and description.

若く、美しく、しっかりもののテス。貧困、両親の無知無理解、執拗に言い寄る男性、複雑に絡み合う事情が彼女を徐々に悲劇へと追いやります。あがらえない運命に翻弄されます。彼女のジレンマが頂点に達した時ついに悲劇が起きます。 イングランド南部(ハーデイお得意の場所)の景色などが美しく描写されているのもイギリス好きな人には魅力だと思います。 英語はちょっと古臭いですが読めないほどではありません。この地方の方言だと思うのですが古い言い回しの会話や、"J"と"I"を使い分けていない手紙の文章、刑務所に揚がる黒旗、などは興味深いものがあります。

moving masterpiece
2023年5月1日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
A tragic story narrated with exquisite prose. Tess is an unforgettable woman, blessed with beauty and character but seemingly cursed by the fates. She is certainly unlucky in love.
Hardy was a master of the craft: the settings, characters, the plot, and the narrative voice are first rate.
The story saddened me so much at times that I had to put it aside. Doing so was paying homage to Thomas Hardy. And I always returned to the book, an even greater compliment to him.

Large Print edition of a classic novel
2021年3月12日にカナダでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
During COVID-19 lockdown my mother requested reading material with large print. This book, along with two other large print Thomas Hardy novels, was just what she was hoping for. The actual books are larger than other large print books we found for her. The stories are classic. The books arrived well packaged and in a timely manner.

Parson Tringham had filled Mr.Durbeyfield's mind with an idea that their family was truly d'Urbervil
2023年4月24日にインドでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Accordingly, Mr. and Mrs.Durbeyfield sent their eldest daughter, Tess to Trantridge poultry-farm to claim kin. They should have prevented this journey which committed their daughter to the care of a man as Alec. Here began the strange and dreadful events of her future life.
Alec's words troubled her maiden modesty. This wretched man destroyed her quiet for ever! He offered to marry her but she detested the sight of him! She came back home and gave birth to a baby who died a few months later.
She went to Talbothays dairy House in Blackmoor to work. Angel Clare fell in love with her. Tess' heart exulted at his honourable love — so pure and lofty. She wanted to tell him her secret, but he didn’t want to hear. They married each other to continue their sentimental romance.
When she confided in him, she found out that he was a monster of hypocrisy! So changeable and unsure of himself! She had made a god of him and he left her. He went to Brazil to try his hand in farming and sent money to her. What atonement could purchase the pardon of her crime? Even bad women, as they are termed, have in them sorrow, repentance, pity, sacrifice. She wept from fathomless depths of hopeless, hopeless grief.
She met Alec again. He had become a preacher now. After practicing immorality for so long, he was preaching morality. Alec asked Tess to marry him, but she refused.
Her father passed away. Her mother and her young siblings were evicted from their house.
Angel came back after a year, slightly damaged. He repented and asked Tess for forgiveness. Was it too late?
