Tess Of The D'Urbervilles (Wadsworth Collection)
Set in Hardy's Wessex, Tess is a moving novel of hypocrisy and double standards. Its challenging sub-title, A Pure Woman, infuriated critics when the book was first published in 1891, and it was condemned as immoral and pessimistic. It tells of Tess Durbeyfield, the daughter of a poor and dissipated villager, who learns that she may be descended from the ancient family of d'Urbeville. In her search for respectability her fortunes fluctuate wildly, and the story assumes the proportions of a Greek tragedy. It explores Tess's relationships with two very different men, her struggle against the social mores of the rural Victorian world which she inhabits and the hypocrisy of the age.
Tess of the D'Urbervilles
Tess is an innocent young girl until the day she goes to visit her rich 'relatives', the D'Urbervilles. Her encounter with her manipulative cousin, Alec, leads her onto a path that is beset with suffering and betrayal. When she falls in love with another man, Angel Clare, Tess sees a potential escape from her past, but only if she can tell him her shameful secret...
'Gloriously physical, full of passion and irony, humour and tenderness' Anne Michaels
Tess of the D´urbervilles
Set in the bleak, magical Wessex landscape so familiar from Hardy's early work, Tess's cruel story reveals circumstances slowly closing in on her as she attempts to grasp a few moments of happiness with her lover.

OWC Tess of the d'Urbervilles

store her family's fortunes by claiming their connection with the aristocratic d'Urbervilles. But Alec d'Urberville is a rich wastrel who seduces her and makes her life miserable. When Tess meets Angel Clare, she is offered true love and happiness, b
ut her past catches up with her and she faces an agonizing moral choice. Hardy's indictment of society's double standards, and his depiction of Tess as 'a pure woman', caused controversy in his day and has held the imagination of readers ever since.

Tess of the D`Urbervilles
"I would be content, ay, glad, to live with you as your servant, if I may not as your wife; so that I could only be near you, and get glimpses of you, and think of you as mine...I long for only one thing in heaven or earth or under the earth, to meet you, my own dear! Come to me - come to me, and save me from what threatens me"! 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.

Tess z d´Urbervillů
Šestnáctiletá Tess je dcerou venkovanů Johna a Joan Durbeyfieldových. Když se její rodiče dozvědí, že jsou spříznění s rodem d'Urbervillů, vyšlou Tess za domnělou příbuznou, aby se u ní přihlásila o finanční pomoc nebo zaměstnání. Citlivá dívka se silnými morálními zásadami však ve světě místo pochopení naráží jen na vypočítavost a pokrytectví. Tragický příběh od anglického spisovatele Thomase Hardyho ve své době vzbudil obrovský rozruch a dnes se řadí mezi nejoblíbenější literární díla z viktoriánské éry.
33x Karol D. Horváth
Máte radi čierny humor, grotesku a hlasný smiech? Tak to si musíte prečítať 33 poviedok Karola D. Horvátha, v ktorých každý dostane to, čo si žiadal, akurát tie želania naberú nečakané pokračovania a neželané konce. ExEdícia získala Národnú cenu za dizajn.
Jednoduchý, často banálny príbeh dokáže Horváth katapultovať do neuveriteľne komických rozmerov, zvrtnúť rozprávanie nečakaným smerom, prevrátiť jazyk naruby alebo všetko zakončiť dokonale absurdnou pointou. Horváthove zmnožené parodické zobrazenie reality má korene vo vzájomnom prestupovaní viacerých módov písania, vo svojrázne deformovanom (grotesknom) subjektivizme a deskriptivizme, ktorý sa dá považovať aj za (intertextuálny) návrat k ére nemého filmu. Dôležitú úlohu v Horváthových textoch zohráva využitie vulgarizmov, chladnokrvne (jasnozrivo) vykalkulovaných naračných postupov a nelegálne použitých schém (syntaxe) myslenia, charakteristických pre neliterárny prehovor.
Horváth nikdy nenudí a tam, kde by sa už mohlo zdať, že je vyčerpaný, nastúpi fantazmagorická alebo chimérická vízia, ktorá nás uistí, že „pravidlá hry“ vôbec nechápeme a samu hru nikdy neovládneme.
(Patrik Oriešek)
S Horváthovou prozaickou vervou priam vtrhlo do slovenskej prózy niečo nesmierne moderné, čo už ani nepolemizuje s postmodernistickými výdobytkami posledného desaťročia, ale rovno na ich pozostatkoch stavia textualitu, ktorá literatúru vytrháva z bezradnej skepsy a vracia myšlienkam ich priebojnosť.
(Alexander Halvoník)
Sila poviedok Karola D. Horvátha spočíva v mimoriadne rozmanitom a otvorenom jazyku. Humor a horor, paródia a drastickosť, obscénnost a politikárčenie ústi do živého, nepokojného, ??mnohovrstvového jazyka.
(Zoltán Németh v doslove k maďarskému prekladu knihy)
