Jude the Obscure - Classic Illustrated Edition Thomas Hardy

* Illustrated with delightful sketches from early editions of the novel, Jude the Obscure is a gripping tale of love, loss, adultery, poverty and Jude's overwhelming desire to break free from his working class roots by studying at university. Hardy's flawless novel is desperately tragic, yet it's also deeply engrossing as a fascinating portrayal of nineteenth century social values and expectations. * Just as enjoyable today as it would have been when first published well over a century ago, the story is considered one of the great works of English literature and continues to be widely read around the world.* This meticulous edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text.
