A haunting study of guilt and lost love
In a fit of drunken anger, Michael Henchard sells his wife and baby daughter for five guineas at a country fair. Over the course of the following years, he manages to establish himself as a respected and prosperous pillar of the community of Casterbridge, but behind his success there always lurk the shameful secret of his past and a personality prone to self-destructive pride and temper. Subtitled "A Story of a Man of Character," Hardy's powerful and sympathetic study of the heroic but deeply flawed Henchard is also an intensely dramatic work, tragically played out against the vivid backdrop of a close-knit Dorsetshire town.
This edition includes an introduction, chronology of Hardy's life and works, the illustrations for the original serial issue, place names, maps, glossary, full explanatory notes as well as Hardy's prefaces to the 1895 and 1912 editions.
Thomas Hardy, OM (2 June 1840 - 11 January 1928) was an English novelist and poet. A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, especially William Wordsworth. Charles Dickens was another important influence. Like Dickens, he was highly critical of much in Victorian society, though Hardy focused more on a declining rural society.
While Hardy wrote poetry throughout his life and regarded himself primarily as a poet, his first collection was not published until 1898. Initially, therefore, he gained fame as the author of novels, including Far from the Madding Crowd (1874), The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886), Tess of the d'Urbervilles (1891), and Jude the Obscure (1895). Hardy's poetry, though prolific, was not as well received during his lifetime. It was rediscovered in the 1950s, when Hardy's poetry had a significant influence on the Movement poets of the 1950s and 1960s, including Philip Larkin.
Most of his fictional works - initially published as serials in magazines - were set in the semi-fictional region of Wessex. They explored tragic characters struggling against their passions and social circumstances. Hardy's Wessex is based on the medieval Anglo-Saxon kingdom and eventually came to include the counties of Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset, Devon, Hampshire and much of Berkshire, in southwest and south central England.

评分Happiness was but the occasional episode in a general drama of pain. 果然如伍尔夫所说,哈代是最伟大的悲剧作家之一。虽然故事有点恶俗,但是语言的精妙和情节的几度转换确实体现了人生的无常。
评分文笔极美,但纷至沓来的写景真的打乱了我的阅读节奏……大概还是英文水平不够吧。。
评分雅 柔 静。

评分穆齐尔说男人对女人的深情,就像一只花豹对着新鲜刚死的猎物在温柔的咕咕,如果那猎物敢对他的方式说三道四他是要见怪的。 伐尓伏雷发现伊丽莎白没有在她的主人家里好好等他时受了小小的刺激,而且是在他们没有任何约定的情况下。哈代说男人就是这样想入非非自以为是的东西。 ...
评分一个倒霉的男人,每次当生活似乎展露笑颜的时候,又却是遭受了愚弄,失而复得的前妻,得而复失的女儿,由嫉生恨的伙伴,他似乎应当抱怨命运,他像被诅咒般,无论富有还是贫穷,无论是情场上得意或失意,内心依旧冷清而不安,并由得这骨子里的不安变得暴躁冲动,成为这样的人如...
