Set in Hardy's Wessex, Tess is a moving novel of hypocrisy and double standards.

In her search for respectability her fortunes fluctuate wildly, and the story assumes the proportions of a Greek tragedy.

Псалтирът е може би най-значителният и влиятелен сборник от религиозни поеми, писани някога. Той съдържа цялото богословие на Стария завет. През вековете псалмите са били използвани като фундамент на юдейската и християнска литургична молитва. В обществената молитва на Църквата те продължават да играят по-голяма роля от всеки друг сборник с религиозни текстове. Псалмите притежават изненадваща дълбочина, възхитителна и неизчерпаема актуалност. Те са хляб, чудодейно дарен от Христос, за да нахрани онези, които са Го последвали в пустинята.
