Book Description
Far from the Madding Crowd was the first of Hardy's novels to apply the name of Wessex to the landscape of south west England, and the first to gain him widespread popularity as a novelist. When the beautiful and spirited Bathsheba Everdene inherits her own farm, she attracts three very different suitors: the seemingly commonplace, man-of-the-soil Gabriel Oak, the dashing young soldier, Francis Troy, and the respectable, middle-aged Farmer Boldwood. Her choice, and the tragedy it provokes, lie at the centre of Hardy's ambivalent story.
This edition presents a new text of the novel restoring several manuscript passages never before published with the novel, and many of the 1901 revisions missing from nearly all modern versions.
This work tells the story of young farmer, Gabriel Oak, and his pursuit of the elusive Bathsheba Everdene, whose wayward nature lends her to both tragedy and true love. The background of this tale is the Wessex countryside in all its moods.
The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
Novel by Thomas Hardy, published serially and anonymously in 1874 in The Cornhill Magazine and published in book form under Hardy's name the same year. It was his first popular success. The plot centers on Bathsheba Everdene, a farm owner, and her three suitors, Gabriel Oak (a generous shepherd), Sergeant Troy (a young, handsome, and inconsiderate soldier), and William Boldwood (the owner of the neighboring farm). The contrasting relationships between Bathsheba and her suitors are a study of the many faces of love, including honest, heartfelt love and unscrupulous and manipulative adoration.
From Library Journal
Random's Modern Library is reproducing this Hardy standard as a tie-in to a Masterpiece Theater presentation and offering a quality hardcover for a reasonable price.
From AudioFile
Those who relished the recent PBS series will be happy to know that this audio version is read by Gabriel Oak himself--Nathaniel Parker. He and Thomas Hardy make a fine team. As the rustic workers bring in the harvest, or shear the sheep, or barter at the market--their lively dialogue projects pictures of nineteenth-century Wessex that are almost as vivid as the paintings of John Constable. Nathaniel Parker seems to be one of them--or all of them--as he slips naturally from one character to another, even capturing the voice of Bathsheba as she laments her disastrous marriage. It all comes together in the end as she and Gabriel prepare to live happily ever after, the only Hardy characters so blessed! J.C.

最开始的两个人还是走到了一起。但是,那不是爱情。只是经历磨难之后的相偎相依。寻求一种精神和心理上的安稳依靠。 还好他们不是生活在21世纪。没有物欲横流和灯火斑斓作为诱饵。过的也是一种放羊般的生活,拥有最基本的物质满足,反倒是最强大最富有的精神享受。 这本书告诫...
评分很少有作家像哈代先生那样不知疲倦地描写自己的故乡,英格兰的多塞克郡。广阔的原野,成群的牛羊,高山、深谷、森林、溪水.......仿佛古老的威塞克斯地区是英格兰的地理样本。乡村生活中,季节就像是自然调色板上的不同色彩,时间就是画笔。所有的房屋,无数的道路,蓬勃...
评分《远离尘嚣》并不特别使我着迷。 于我,这是一本有严重处女情结的颠倒版《简·爱》: 女人最好保持贞洁,如果不,起码克制欲望与虚荣,否则会给自己和身边的人带来极大的苦痛; 你以为奥克穷,没有地位,他就没有感情,没有爱吗?不,他一直爱着他的雇主,并最...
评分只有小说里的女人才会被这么众星捧月 人人都爱他,可她终其一身也不知道自己爱的是谁 不过没关系,哪怕她选来选去,选到最后还是有个傻男人会乖乖等着给她一个怀抱。 这不是误导我们这些离纯真远一点,离现实又有点距离的少女们么?
评分如果你想要随便读一本书,在什么信息都不知道的情况下,书的名字对于自己是至关重要的。起先我第一次看到哈代的这本《远离尘嚣》时,一下子就喜欢上了这本书,确切的说未读之前这本书的名字就已经深深的吸引了我。 对于一个有着避世思想的人来说,远离尘嚣可以说是一种梦想,...
自从研究完《无名的裘德》,发誓再也不碰哈代。但是Mulligan和Sturridge今年要出一版新的远离尘嚣的电影!!无法抗拒!!文字相当精彩,如同王尔德笔下反串版的《傲慢与偏见》,真是惊喜到炸。女人依然stubborn,在保守的环境中大胆追寻自由与权利,却被“命运”无情地嘲弄。You have to learn your lessons, so it seems. Bathsheba比Sue更传统一些,不那么self-aware,也没有刻意提到她读过很多书,所以她的反叛不像Sue一样有那么多的精神支持=。= 主要的区别大概就是这样吧,所以没法成为悲剧英雄,最后回归了相当传统的皆大欢喜。
评分作为一个妹纸,你说让我咋说好-,-总之。小说就是小说哈╮(╯▽╰)╭
