About this listen

 Jude the Obscure is Thomas Hardys poignant final novel, originally serialized in magazines before its book release in 1895. The story follows Jude Fawley, a lower-class young man with aspirations of becoming a scholar. He navigates a tumultuous life intertwined with his earthy wife, Arabella, and his intellectual cousin, Sue. This compelling narrative explores deep themes such as class struggle, the pursuit of knowledge, the complexities of marriage, and the shifting landscape of society and belief.
