Kompletní popis

Published anonymously in 1871, Desperate Remedies is Thomas Hardy's first published novel, blending the dark suspense of the Victorian sensation novel with the intricate psychological realism that defines his later masterpieces. The story follows Cytherea Graye, a young woman forced by poverty to become the lady's maid to the eccentric and manipulative Miss Aldclyffe. Cytherea is torn between her deep love for the struggling architect Edward Springrove and the intense, dark courtship of Æneas Manston, Miss Aldclyffe's mysterious new estate steward. When Cytherea is pressured into a desperate marriage to Manston, she becomes trapped in a web of blackmail, hidden identities, illegitimacy, and murder. Masterfully atmospheric, the novel showcases Hardy's early fascination with the cruelty of fate, the rigid constraints of social class, and the destructive power of secrets.
