One of Thomas Hardy's most powerful works, The Return of the Native centers famously on Egdon Heath, the wild, haunted Wessex moor that D. H. Lawrence called "the real stuff of tragedy." The heath's changing face mirrors the fortunes of the farmers, inn-keepers, sons, mothers, and lovers who populate the novel. The "native" is Clym Yeobright, who comes home from a cosmopolitan life in Paris. He; his cousin Thomasin; her fiancé, Damon Wildeve; and the willful Eustacia Vye are the protagonists in a tale of doomed love, passion, alienation, and melancholy as Hardy brilliantly explores that theme so familiar throughout his fiction: the diabolical role of chance in determining the course of a life.

As Alexander Theroux asserts in his Introduction, Hardy was "committed to the deep expression of [nature's] ironic chaos and strange apathy, even hostility, toward man."

几年前看过《冷山》，据说是讲述人与自然的关系的，还得过一个什么什么畅销书奖，看过之后一头雾水，窃以为原小说的水平差强人意。 哈代的书确是经典，荒原在他的笔下颇具魔幻色彩。极轻巧的笔触写出了荒原的厚重，笃悠悠的情节对比着荒原的凝固。真实的人物生活在半真实的环境...
