  • 作者简介
  • 布雷特·哈特(1836-1902),小说家,美国西部文学的代表作家。以描写加利福尼亚州的矿工、赌徒、娼妓而负盛名。其中最著名的是《咆哮营的幸运儿》(1870)。后又与马克·吐温合作创作名剧《啊罪恶》(1877)。后期从政。曾先后任驻德国克雷菲尔德和英国格拉斯哥两地领事。

    Francis Bret Harte (August 25, 1836–May 5, 1902) was an American author and poet, best remembered for his short fiction featuring miners, gamblers, and other romantic figures of the California Gold Rush. In a career spanning more than four decades, he wrote poetry, fiction, plays, lectures, book reviews, editorials, and magazine sketches in addition to fiction. As he moved from California to the eastern U.S. to Europe, he incorporated new subjects and characters into his stories, but his Gold Rush tales have been most often reprinted, adapted, and admired.
