故事发生在静谧的英国乡村的田野上、农场里。当时,人们收获靠手工,车靠马拉,他们的生活伴随着季节的变化而起伏。当然,那安静的乡村世界早已成为过去,但是,那支配着人们生活的激情却丝毫未变。春去秋来,循环往复,爱却一如既往,猛烈地、不可阻挡地燃烧着。
美丽的芭丝谢芭·伊芙丁自己拥有农场,没有必要嫁人。但是,她无法永远阻挡爱情。那位牧人盖伯瑞尔·奥克,他对芭丝谢芭的默默的爱稳定持久;那位农场主伯德伍德,他人至中年,严肃庄重,从未尝过爱情滋味;那位托伊中士,他红色戎装,英俊年轻……芭丝谢芭虽然自信、独立,但是,爱的猛烈、爱的激情,她要学的东西还很多很多。
《远离尘嚣》发表于一八七四年,是哈代第一部成功的长篇,也是他此后一系列以威塞克斯乡村为背景的优秀长篇小说的第一部。本书主要讲述了美丽、高傲的芭丝谢芭、忠诚能干的盖伯瑞尔·奥克、家境殷实的农场主伯德伍德和英俊的中士特洛伊之间的故事。反映了资本主义发展在英国农村城镇的社会、经济、道德、人伦、风俗等方面所引起的深刻而剧烈的变化,表现了现存道德观念和法律制度与这一变化之间的冲突,以及处于这一变化冲突间的“威塞克斯乡民”的惶惑和抗争。
Far from the Madding Crowd is Thomas Hardy's fourth novel and his first major literary success. The novel is the first to be set in Hardy's fictional county of Wessex in rural south west England. It deals in themes of love, honour and betrayal, against a backdrop of the seemingly idyllic, but often harsh, realities of a farming community in Victorian England. It describes the farmer Bathsheba Everdene, her life and relationships—especially with her lonely neighbour William Boldwood, the faithful shepherd Gabriel Oak, and the thriftless soldier Sergeant Troy.
