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."

評分抱著無限的期待,看完瞭這部小說,有一點點小失望。 失望的是作者對文中兩位女主人公約布賴特太太和尤苔莎離奇死亡的處理,顯得有點做作。 約布萊特太太大概50歲左右,在酷熱的天氣中走瞭好幾公裏的路,然後被蛇咬傷中毒,不治身亡。尤苔莎在午夜離傢齣走的時候,不幸跌入河中...
