内容介绍

这是近年来被重新发现的伟大的经典作品的精美精装版威廉-斯托纳 19 岁进入密苏里大学学习农业。一次英国文学研讨会改变了他的人生，他再也没有回到父亲的农场工作。斯通纳成为了一名教师。

他娶错了女人。他的生活平淡无奇，死后同事们也很少记得他。然而，这部小说以其真实、悲悯和强烈的力量，揭示了一个具有普遍价值的故事--人类的冲突、失败和胜利，这些都没有被历史记录下来--同时也重新唤起了个体生命的意义。

A beautiful hardback edition of the greatest rediscovered classic of recent yearsWilliam Stoner enters the University of Missouri at nineteen to study agriculture. A seminar on English literature changes his life, and he never returns to work on his father's farm. Stoner becomes a teacher.

He marries the wrong woman. His life is quiet, and after his death, his colleagues remember him rarely. Yet with truthfulness, compassion and intense power, this novel uncovers a story of universal value - of the conflicts, defeats and victories of the human race that pass unrecorded by history - and in doing so reclaims the significance of an individual life.
