Featuring a stunning Introduction by popular author of The Ice Storm and Demonology Rick Moody, this special edition of The Mayor of Casterbridge is a tie-in to the A&E Television Network adaptation of Thomas Hardy's critically acclaimed novel. In a surprisingly personal essay, Moody names the saga "the first great novel about alcoholism," and delivers penetrating insight into the character of Michael Henchard and the crippling deficiencies that foretell his ruin. The Mayor of Casterbridge opens with an act of such heartlessness and cruelty that it still shocks readers today. Michael Henchard, an out-of-work hay-trusser, gets drunk at a fair and for five guineas sells his wife and child to a sailor. When the horror of his act sets in the following morning, the wretched Henchard swears he will not touch alcohol for twenty-one years. Through hard work and acumen, he becomes rich, respected, and eventually the mayor of Casterbridge. Eighteen years pass before Henchard's fateful oath comes back to claim its due. Upon the return to Casterbridge of his wife and daughter, Elizabeth-Jane, Henchard's fortunes steadily decline. He clashes with his business assistant, Donald Farfrae, who soon becomes his major rival. He ruins his business through impulsive speculations and takes to drinking again. One by one he forfeits his possessions and relationships to Farfrae. Soon Farfrae owns Henchard's business and his house, has gained the affection of his lover Lucetta, and has even become the mayor of Casterbridge. In a final insult, Farfrae marries Elizabeth-Jane. Having lost everything he once possessed, Henchard is forced to face himself in his most tragic and desperate moment.
"...But her strong sense that neither she nor any human being deserved less than was given, did not blind her to the fact that there were others receiving less who had deserved much more."

評分一个为过去的错误深深忏悔的男人,却始终得不到谅解,究竟是世人,是命运,还是上天,不肯放过他,让他在孤独和贫困中离去。 回望百多年前的英伦小镇,那里的男人女人,似乎都遵循着某种古老的法则,承受着自己的人生。
評分一个倒霉的男人,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...
