Carpenter Adam Bede is in love with the beautiful Hetty Sorrel, but unknown to him, he has a rival, in the local squire's son Arthur Donnithorne. Hetty is soon attracted by Arthur's seductive charm and they begin to meet in secret. The relationship is to have tragic consequences that reach far beyond the couple themselves, touching not just Adam Bede, but many others, not least, pious Methodist Preacher Dinah Morris. A tale of seduction, betrayal, love and deception, the plot of Adam Bede has the quality of an English folk song. Within the setting of Hayslope, a small, rural community, Eliot brilliantly creates a sense of earthy reality, making the landscape itself as vital a presence in the novel as that of her characters themselves.

评分《亚当·比德》的故事发生在乔治·艾略特写作前的半个世纪,也就是19世纪早期,故事以艾略特姑母讲述的真实经历为背景,这位姑母也是书中人物汀娜的原型。 艾略特书写的是个过去的时代,——工业化刚刚开始向英国的乡村扩展,故事的主要发生地干草坡仍然沉浸在一幅田园牧歌的图...
艾略特的第一部长篇,已经凸显出鲜明的个人风格。稳重的笔触,深刻的价值观照,虽然部分叙述比较离题,但一到心理描写的片段永远能紧扣读者的心弦。相比Dinah,更对Hetty心生恻隐。 @2013-07-31 16:51:06

评分Eliot在文本中传递的信息是:我们要尽己所能地接受人性和生活的不完美,而这完全不妨碍我们津津有味地生活。人都会自私,懦弱,自我保护到甚至于残忍的程度。十分不完美但有一点点可爱,足够了。
评分好则好已,但还是有两处硬伤:1)文中没有显示Hetty有孕,以至于后来的杀子情节略突兀;2)亚当与蒂娜的爱情和婚姻没有铺垫,导致结尾显得蹩脚。
评分one of the best of Eliot's novels
