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.

評分“宗教、社會、自然,這就是人類的三種鬥爭。這三種鬥爭同時也是人類的三種需要。人必須有信仰,從而有瞭廟宇;人必須創造,從而有瞭城市;人必須生活,從而有瞭犁和船。但是,這三種答案中包含這三種戰爭。人生神秘的苦難便源自這三種戰爭。人類要麵對迷信、偏見、和自然元素...
評分情懷閱讀 海上勞工 有些作傢,生而偉大,比如雨果。他寫過不好的作品麼?也許有,但我沒讀過。 學生時代,曾經和好友激烈討論過雨果到底是個浪漫派還是一個現實派,好友堅定的反對教科書的說法,堅持認為雨果是一個現實主義作傢,有社會的種種黑暗不公,有人性的善惡,有虛僞也...
