书籍简介

《德伯家的苔丝》（1891）是托马斯·哈代所写两部重要长篇小说之一，这部作品不仅在作者本国，而且在世界范围，久为广大读者所喜爱，为专业研究人士所瞩目，为电影、戏剧界的艺术家们所礼遇，一百多年来早已被公认为哈代优秀的代表作品，被列入世界文学经典阆苑。读者和评论界大多认为，这部作品突出的成就在于成功地塑造了苔丝这一女性形象。苔丝的父亲是贫苦的乡下小贩，生性怠惰，愚昧无知；母亲过去是挤奶女工，头脑简单，图慕虚荣，他们都是听凭时代风雨恣意摧残的小人物。苔丝作为这样一个家庭中的长女，接受了当地农村小学初步的教育之后，从十四五岁就开始在饲养场、牛奶场和农田劳动。这样一位普通的农村劳动妇女，实际面临的却是环境的愚昧、经济的贫困、暴力的污损、社会的歧视、爱人的遗弃，她面对种种有形无形的势力摧残，经历了对世俗成见的怀疑、否定和抗争，最终仍成为可怜的牺牲。哈代为苔丝设计的人生舞台时限极短，从她在家乡村野舞会上出场，到她在标志死刑的黑旗下丧生，历时不过五六年，但她那短暂一生中的种种遭遇，却足以惊心动魄、荡气回肠。

Set in Hardy's Wessex, Tess is a moving novel of hypocrisy and double standards. Its challenging sub-title, A Pure Woman, infuriated critics when the book was first published in 1891, and it was condemned as immoral and pessimistic.

It tells of Tess Durbeyfield, the daughter of a poor and dissipated villager, who learns that she may be descended from the ancient family of d'Urbeville. In her search for respectability her fortunes fluctuate wildly, and the story assumes the proportions of a Greek tragedy. It explores Tess's relationships with two very different men, her struggle against the social mores of the rural Victorian world which she inhabits and the hypocrisy of the age.

In addressing the double standards of the time, Hardy's masterly evocation of a world which we have lost, provides one of the most compelling stories in the canon of English literature, whose appeal today defies the judgement of Hardy's contemporary critics.

作者简介

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, including the poetry of William Wordsworth. He was highly critical of much in Victorian society, especially on the declining status of rural people in Britain, such as those from his native South West England.
