With an Introduction by Dr Pamela Knights, Department of English Studies, Durham University On a poor farm near Starkfield in western Massachusetts, Ethan Frome struggles to wrest a living from the land, unassisted by his whining and hypochondriacal wife Zeena. When Zeena's young cousin Mattie Silver is left destitute, the only place she can go is Ethan's farm. An embittered man and an enchanting young woman meeting in such circumstances unleash predictable consequences as passions are aroused between the three protagonists, Edith Wharton's characterisation and deft handling of reversals of fortune are so accomplished that Ethan Frome has remained enduringly popular since its first publication in 1911 and is considered her greatest tragic story.

評分磕磕絆絆總算把此書讀瞭一遍。 書前言中有一段敘述:美國心理派女作傢伊迪絲華頓伊特有的細膩和力量,在她最富盛名的《以坦弗洛美》寫齣瞭當初美國從農業國轉嚮工業國的物質問題和道德問題。從這一方麵來說此部小說與路遙的《人生》有些相似。 我剛翻開書就有莫名其妙的感...

well touching plot with unexpected and insightful ending
評分Do you know what was it that lead to the tragedy?
評分A masterpiece with well-intended content and eye-catching turn of plot, Wharton's novella has inherited the American literary tradition. The platonic love is craftily decorated with the wild yet idyllic setting, and the disillusionment, savored by the ingenious gothic-like ending, is a precious lesson learnt in the pursuit of happiness and ideals.
評分the ending do heighten the whole theme.
評分(讀的版豆瓣找不到)感謝周薇老師感謝圖圖!雖然被劇透的相當徹底…還記得《純真年代》結尾的震撼。
