"His style touches sublimity." - T.S. Eliot
The most powerful expression of Hardy's philosophy, and a profound exploration of man's need for loneliness, Jude The Obscure is a exceptional and alluring book. Hardy had dared to write about sexuality and to summon the institutions of religion, education and marriage. The stonemason Jude Fawley is a dreamer who faces the misfortune of unachieved goals. With his beautiful cousin Sue Bridehead, Jude takes on the world and discovers, tragically, its brutal indifference.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The controversial tale of Jude Fawley and his unconventional relationship with his cousin, Sue Bridehead, is as fascinating today as it was when Hardy published the novel in 1895. Beautifully narrated by the gifted Neville Jason, this story of repression, judgment, and true love will appeal to listeners who love the classics. Jason's proper tone and slow pacing is a perfect fit for Hardy's prose. As Jude, Jason shifts his voice to become, by turns, optimistic and lovelorn, while the supporting characters are equally well crafted. The result is a truly memorable literary experience that demands repeated listens.
