托马斯·哈代最著名的小说莫过于《德伯家的苔丝》,但他也创作了大量的短篇故事。其中大多数取材于哈代在英格兰南部居住时,周围村庄的人们给他讲述的故事。
哈代的作品反映了资本主义侵入英国农村城镇后所引起的社会经济、政治、道德、风俗等方面的深刻变化以及人民(尤其是妇女)的悲惨命运,揭露了资产阶级道德、法律和宗教的虚伪性。他的作品承上启下,既继承了英国批判现实主义的优秀传统,也为20世纪的英国文学开拓了道路。本书正是这一方面的成果,反映了当时英国人民的生活。
托马斯·哈代是—位跨世纪的伟大小说家、诗人,在英国文学史上起着承上启下的桥梁作用,享有独特的地位,是英国文学史上最为杰出的作家之一,堪与托尔斯泰、陀思妥职夫斯基并列,被看作英国文学的先驱。
人有相似,无论他们生活在城镇还是乡村,在当代还是一百年前。
一个牧羊少年惊恐地睁大了双眼,从他的小棚屋中往外窥视一个女人和一个并非她丈夫的男人秘密约会。
一个又一个陌生人的来到,会给牧羊少年的生活带来什么改变呢?
People are the same, whether they live in the town or the country, today or a hundred years ago.
From his hut a young shepherd boy watches, wide-eyed and afraid, a secret meeting between a woman and a man who is not her husband.
A young teacher, going home to marry a much older man, has a moment of madness that will change her life.
But we begin with a knock on the door at a lonely cottage. Inside, all is bright and cheerful, with music and dancing, and people enjoying themselves. Outside, the rain beats down, and the stranger following the footpath across the wild hills stares at the lighted windows. Should he go on, or can he stop for a while, to find rest and food and a seat by a warm fire?
