Book Description

The Wordsworth Classics covers a huge list of beloved works of literature in English and translations. This growing series is rigorously updated, with scholarly introductions and notes added to new titles.

The central figure of this novel is the returning "native", Clym Yeobright, and his love for the beautiful but capricious Eustacia Vye. As character after character is driven to self-destruction, the presence of Egdon Heath becomes all-embracing, while Clym becomes a preacher.

From AudioFile

Clym Yeobright, native of Egdon Heath, returns from the bright society of Paris and, as any reader of Hardy knows, all is not smooth. He is quickly taken by and marries the one woman he should not--Eustacia Vye. The suffering that follows is mitigated somewhat by the ending, but more by the mastery of Alan Rickman's reading. At the start, Rickman senses the voice for each character in Hardy's fictional world, and he maintains each character's personality throughout. He even manages to project Hardy's subtle shadings of tone with the rhythm and tempo of his narration, throwing in a song here and there because, in spite of his gloom, there is a festive strain to Hardy, as well. If you have a hard time reading this classic English writer, this is how to do it. P.E.F.

The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature

Novel by Thomas Hardy, published in 1878. The novel is set on Egdon Heath, a barren moor in the fictional Wessex in southwestern England. The native of the title is Clym Yeobright, who has returned to the area to become a schoolmaster after a successful but, in his opinion, shallow career as a jeweler in Paris. He and his cousin Thomasin exemplify the traditional way of life, while Thomasin's husband, Damon Wildeve, and Clym's wife, Eustacia Vye, long for the excitement of city life. Disappointed that Clym is content to remain on the heath, Eustacia, willful and passionate, rekindles her affair with the reckless Damon. After a series of coincidences Eustacia comes to believe that she is responsible for the death of Clym's mother. Convinced that fate has doomed her to cause others pain, Eustacia flees and is drowned (by accident or intent). Damon drowns trying to save her. In a later edition, to please his readers, Hardy made additions to his novel. Thomasin marries Diggory Venn, a humble, long-time suitor, and Clym becomes an itinerant preacher.

读后感

几年前看过《冷山》,据说是讲述人与自然的关系的,还得过一个什么什么畅销书奖,看过之后一头雾水,窃以为原小说的水平差强人意。 哈代的书确是经典,荒原在他的笔下颇具魔幻色彩。极轻巧的笔触写出了荒原的厚重,笃悠悠的情节对比着荒原的凝固。真实的人物生活在半真实的环境...

全书最具情绪感染力的一段,便是尤苔莎人生最后一次的挣扎。 这段描写体现了尤苔莎这一人物形象的复杂性。在传统高尚的人格方面,她虽然没有可取之处,她对抗“荒原”的生活方式,也是陈旧而俗套的,即祈求通过爱情和婚姻,寻求精神满足,离开荒原。但是,哈代笔下,尤苔莎与韦...
