Jude el oscuro

Jude Fawley is a young man of peasant origin whose main aspiration is to have an education, for which he does not skimp on his efforts even when he is employed as a stonemason. The pursuit of his illusions, however, will be affected by his relationships, first, with the easygoing Arabella Donn, and then with his lively and intelligent cousin Sue. Jude's impulses and decisions will increasingly and tragically complicate his life trajectory until a disastrous end that will signify, precisely, the darkness of his existence.
