内容简介 在线阅读本书
The darkly passionate short stories of Thomas Hardy are compelling explorations of love, social class, superstition and legend. This collection contains many of his finest and most representative, and includes The Withered Arm', an eerie depiction of arcane witchcraft in nineteenth-century England; Barbara of the House of Grebe', in which a beautiful man's tragic disfigurement by fire is savagely exploited by his rival; The Son's Veto', showing the cruelty of an educated youth towards his ignorant but tender mother; and The Distracted Preacher', the story of one man's conflict between heartfelt love and his own sense of moral and civic duty. By turns moving and poetic, and surprisingly modern and brutally macabre, these eloquent tales may be numbered among the greatest creations of Hardy's genius.
作者简介 Thomas Hardy was born on 2 June 1840. He wrote novels and poetry, much of which is set in the semi-imaginary county of Wessex. His novels include <I>Far From the Madding Crowd</I> (1874), <I>The Return of the Native </I>(1878), <I>The Mayor of Casterbridge</I> (1886), <I>Tess</I> o<I>f the D'Urbervilles</I>(1891) and <I>Jude the Obscure</I> (1895). He published his first volume of poetry, <I>Wessex Poems,</I> in 1898 and continued to publish collections of poems until his death on 11 January 1928.
