The Toilers of the Sea ranks with The Hunchback of Notre-Dame and Les Miserables as among Hugo's most important novels, yet is less well known, in part because the only English translation was inaccurate, stilted, and incomplete. Thus, James Hogarth's excellent new translation -- the first rendering of the complete novel -- is a noteworthy event; in it, the clarity and power of Hugo's voice is restored.The novel tells the story of Gilliat, a humble Guernsey fisherman, who falls in love with a shipowner's daughter and, to win her hand in marriage, must free a ship that has run dangerously aground. To do so, Gilliat employs great feats of engineering, endures the mighty powers of sea and wind, and does battle with a great sea monster. In its evocation of the elements in all their ferocity, The Toilers of the Sea is one of the greatest depictions of nature ever attempted. In its treatment of the lives of the working poor, it is a work of humane majesty.This edition includes comprehensive endnotes and Hugo's illustrations, which have never been reproduced in an edition of this monumental novel.

评分 评分这是我看过的第一 本名著,那时候我还在小学,我爸经常看书,他看的书那时候我一般是看不了的,但是我拿起这本书后很快就被吸引住了。雨果是讲故事的大师,毫无疑问,他能够引起任何年龄段的人的注意。
评分《海上劳工》中的两个人,可以说是非常极端的艺术典型。 吉利亚特象征的是善与爱,他的无怨无悔、自我牺牲,到了惊天地泣鬼神的地步。 西尔克吕班象征的是伪诈,他的奸诈突破常规,已到了不近人情的地步。 这部小说的情节,同时也是个寓言:举凡伟大的劳作与付出,多半都是替大...
