Love and crime are intricately intertwined in the fate of young Tess, a poor heiress of an ancient family, doomed to the role of a kept woman — and ready to overturn this fate at the cost of her own life! Becoming a victim of a wealthy rake and seducer, she protests against the vulgar violation of human dignity and is forced to commit murder. "A deceived honest man is often very cruel when the veil falls from his eyes." A classic novel about passion, tragedy, and loss, which has become legendary nowadays thanks to Roman Polanski's film.
