Ⅰ 小說名利場中的人物
白蓮花也可以說蠢到不像活在世界上的人,綠茶婊在得到一切後依然不滿足向更高處最終回到了她應該得到的起點。
在我看來如果白蓮花的丈夫不搞事,讓綠茶婊一進入社會就嫁給了白蓮花的哥哥,那就什麼事都沒有了。
盡管很多人都說綠茶婊應該幸福生活,可唯一不要求她拿什麼來換,只需要她像個正派人一樣嫁到他們家的,只有白蓮花一家人。
綠茶婊如果不喜歡帶孩子,白蓮花會幫著帶。她只需要跟白蓮花哥哥到處去玩就好了,而且白蓮花哥哥也非常地愛吃喝玩樂,把錢財視為身外物。這一對其實蠻配的,一個富得流油的收稅官,一個漂亮又虛榮的交際花,一個為了逃命妹妹都能丟下,一個為了享樂兒子也能不管,怎麼看這一對都不要禍害其他人了。
Ⅱ 名利場的主要人物
1、蓓基·夏潑
利蓓加·夏潑即蓓基·夏潑,她是羅登的太太。她父親是一個潦倒的圖畫教師、母親則是歌舞劇的伴舞者、哥哥喬斯(喬瑟夫)。
蓓基·夏潑是一個狡猾奸詐、邪惡自私、虛偽放盪的女人,她道德敗壞、詭計多端,堪稱是當時英國社會勢利小人的典型代表。
她聰明機智、美麗大方,她不顧一切地利用自身這兩項優勢以謀得上流社會的穩定地位。蓓基·夏潑是酒鬼圖畫教師和窮女舞蹈演員的女兒,她的目標是獲得財富和高貴的社會地位。
2、愛米麗亞·賽特笠
愛米麗亞美麗乖巧,生活富足,安於天命,渴望愛情。她苦戀著的情人在外面打彈子、賭博、嬉戲取樂,她卻以為喬治還在騎兵營忙碌著。
喬治的姐妹們對她百般挑剔,父親破產以後,喬治的父親更是立即與破落的昔日恩人翻臉並撕毀婚約,但是愛米麗亞仍然痴情不改。
3、都賓
都賓有正義感,富有同情心,有真摯而深厚的感情。他將愛米麗亞看成完美的天使,誤以為愛米麗亞和喬治結婚可以使她得到幸福,於是施壓於喬治並進行多方周旋,使他們避開老奧斯本在教堂草草舉行了婚禮,盡管都賓自己一直默默地深愛著愛米麗亞。
都賓天真地以為世界上所有的男人都會為有愛米麗亞這樣的妻子而感到高興和自豪,並能從這樣的婚姻中得到幸福。
4、喬治 ·奧斯本
喬治·奧斯本是一個英俊的小夥子,但他的行為與外表極為不符。他的思想腐化,頭腦中充滿資產階級享樂主義的念頭。
喬治用盡一切辦法從他父親那裡騙取錢財,他表面上尊重他的父親,因為老奧斯本掌握他的經濟命脈並有權決定他的繼承權。
愛米麗亞的父親賽特笠先生對他可謂情深義重,但是當老賽特笠破產的時候,喬治並不在意。只是當他想到這一家的零落,出於對往日快樂時光的懷念,出於廉價的同情,他稍稍顯得有些愁悶。

《名利場》背景:
《名利場》小說的標題出自英國17世紀作家班揚(John Buny an,1628—1688)的諷寓體小說《天路歷程》(The Pilgrim 'sProgress,1678)。
《名利場》故事取材於英國19世紀初的上層社會。19世紀初期的英國處於維多麗亞時代,婦女受到傳統道德的約束。
當時的英國,正值資本主義經濟蓬勃發展的時代,工商業更是成為了國家的經濟支柱。各種知名的富商大賈狠狠地剝削、壓榨著處於最底層的勞工,並主宰著當時的社會。
社會底層的貧苦人們與社會上層富得流油的資本家們之間的對比,一邊是貧困交加的、吃不上飯的、還深受剝削的老百姓,一邊不斷揮霍著堆積如山的資產、不斷追名逐利迷失自我的上層人士。當時的社會就是「天下攘攘,皆為利往,天下熙熙,皆為利來」的狀態。
各種拜金主義,追逐名利、權勢、利祿等摻雜在一起,構成了整個社會上人們的生活狀態。
19世紀三四十年代以後,反映中產階級的婦女觀和家庭觀大量涌現,宣稱男女有清晰的性別角色分工,即男人屬於外面商業和政治的公眾世界,女人屬於家庭的私人世界。
女人是依賴者,管理家庭,是甜蜜的「家庭天使」。而中產階級是薩克雷所熟悉和重點描繪的對象。
薩克雷出生於1811年,他的父親是東印度公司的收稅員。薩克雷4歲時父親去世,母親改嫁,他6歲被送回英國讀書。母愛的缺乏使薩克雷祈望母愛。在作品創作中,他將母愛寫進文本。
Ⅲ 《名利場》的大概內容(英文)
The story opens at Miss Pinkerton's Academy for Young Ladies, where the principal protagonists Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley have just completed their studies and are preparing to depart for Amelia's house in Russell Square. Becky is portrayed as a strong-willed and cunning young woman determined to make her way in society, and Amelia Sedley is a good natured, loveable though simple-minded young girl.
At Russell Square, Miss Sharp is introced to the dashing and self-obsessed Captain George Osborne (to whom Amelia has been betrothed from a very young age) and to Amelia's brother Joseph Sedley, a clumsy and vainglorious but rich civil-servant fresh from India. Becky entices him and hopes to marry him, though eventually fails as a result of warnings from Captain Osborne and his own native shyness and embarrassment that Becky had witnessed his foolish behaviour at Vauxhall.
With this Becky Sharp says farewell to Sedley's family and enters the service of the baronet Sir Pitt Crawley who has engaged her as a governess to his daughters. Her behaviour at Sir Pitt's house gains the favour of Sir Pitt, who after the premature death of his second wife, proposes to her. However, it soon transpires that she is already secretly married to his second son, Rawdon Crawley.
Sir Pitt's half sister, the spinster Miss Crawley, is very rich having inherited her mother's fortune of £70,000. Where she will leave her great wealth is a source of constant conflict between the branches of the Crawley family who vie shamelessly for her affections; initially her favourite is Sir Pitt's younger son, Captain Rawdon Crawley. For some time, Becky acts as Miss Crawley's companion, supplanting the loyal Briggs in an attempt to find favour before breaking the news of her elopement with her nephew. The misalliance so enrages Miss Crawley, that she eventually disinherits her nephew in favour of his elder brother, who also bears the name Pitt Crawley. The couple constantly attempt to reconcile with Miss Crawley and she relents a little. However, she will only see her nephew and refuses to change her will.
While Becky Sharp is rising in the world, Amelia's father, John Sedley, is bankrupted. The relationship between the two families, the Sedleys and Osbornes, who were once close allies disintegrates and the marriage of Amelia and George is forbidden. George ultimately decides to marry Amelia against his father's will, primarily e to the pressure of his friend Dobbin, and George is consequently disinherited by his father.
When all these personal incidents are going on, the Napoleonic Wars have been ramping up, and George Osborne and William Dobbin are suddenly deployed to Brussels, but not before an encounter with Becky and Captain Crawley at Brighton. The holiday is interrupted with orders to march to Brussels. Already, the newly wedded Osborne is growing tired of Amelia, and he becomes increasingly attracted to Becky.
At a ball in Brussels(based on the Duchess of Richmond's famous ball on the eve of the battle of Waterloo) George gives Becky a note inviting her to run away with him. He regrets this shortly afterwards, and reconciles with Amelia, who has been deeply hurt by his attentions towards her former friend. The morning after, he is sent to Waterloo, with Captain Crawley and Dobbin, leaving Amelia distraught. Becky, on the other hand, is virtually indifferent about her husband's departure. She tries to console Amelia, but Amelia responds angrily, disgusted by Becky's flirtatious behavior with George and her lack of concern about Captain Crawley. Becky resents this snub and a rift develops between the two women that lasts for years.
Captain Crawley survives, but George dies in the battle. Amelia bears him a posthumous son, who is also named George. She returns to live in genteel poverty with her parents. Meanwhile since the death of George, Dobbin, who is his son's godfather, graally begins to express his love for the widowed Amelia by small gestures directed towards her and her son. Most notably is the recovery of an old piano, which Dobbin picks up at an auction following the Sedley's ruin, which Amelia mistakes as a gesture from her late husband. She is too much in love with George's memory to return Dobbin's affections. Saddened, he goes to India for many years. Dobbin's infatuation with Amelia is a theme which unifies the novel and one which many have compared to Thackeray's unrequited love for a friend's wife.
Meanwhile, Becky also has a son, also named after his father, but unlike Amelia, who dotes on and even spoils her child, Becky is a cold, distant mother. She continues her ascent first in post-war Paris and then in London where she is patronised by the great Marquess of Steyne who covertly subsidises her and introces her to London society. Her success is unstoppable despite her humble origins and she is eventually presented at court to the Prince Regent himself.
At the summit of her success, Becky's pecuniary relationship with the rich and omnipotent Marquess of Steyne is discovered by Rawdon, after he is arrested for debt. His brother's wife, Lady Jane, ls him out and he surprises the couple in a compromising position. Rawdon leaves his wife and through the offices of Lord Steyne is made Governor of Coventry Island to get him out of the way, after Rawdon challenges the elderly marquess to a el. Mrs Crawley, having lost both husband and credibility, is warned by Steyne to quit England and wanders the continent. Rawdon and Rebecca's son is left in the care of Pitt Crawley and Lady Jane. However wherever Becky goes, she is stalked by the shadow of Lord Steyne. No sooner has she established herself in polite society, than someone turns up who knows her disreputable history and spreads rumours; Steyne himself hounds her out of Rome.
As Amelia's adored son George grows up, his grandfather relents and takes him from poor Amelia who knows the rich and bitter old man will give him a much better start in life materially than she or her family could ever manage. After twelve years abroad both Joseph Sedley and William Dobbin return to England. Dobbin professes his unchanged love to Amelia, but although Amelia is affectionate to Dobbin, she tells him she cannot forget the memory of her dead husband. Dobbin also becomes close to George, and his kind firm manner with him proves a good influence on the spoilt child.
While in England, Dobbin mediates a reconciliation between Amelia and her father-in-law. The death of Amelia's mother prevents their meeting but following Osborne's death soon after, it is revealed that he had amended his will and bequeathed young George half his large fortune and Amelia a generous annuity. The rest is divided between his daughters, Miss Osborne and Mrs Bullock who begrudges Amelia and her son for the decrease in her annuity.
After the death of old Mr Osborne, Amelia, Joseph, George and Dobbin go on a trip to Germany, where they encounter the destitute Becky. She meets the young George Osborne at a card table and then enchants Jos Sedley. Following Jos' entreaties, Amelia agrees to a reconciliation (when she hears that Becky has had her ties with her son severed), much to Dobbin's disapproval. Dobbin quarrels with Amelia, and finally realizes that he is wasting his love on a woman too shallow to return it.
However, Becky, in a moment of conscience, shows Amelia the note that George (Amelia's dead husband) had given her, asking her to run away with him. This breaks George's idealised image in Amelia's mind, but not before she has already sent a note to Dobbin professing her love.
Becky resumes her section of Joseph Sedley and gains control over him. He eventually dies of a suspicious ailment after signing a portion of his money to Becky as life insurance. In the original illustrations, which were done by Thackeray, Becky is shown behind a curtain with a phial (presumably of poison) in her hand; the picture is labelled 'Becky's second appearance in the character of Clytemnestra.' (She had played Clytemnestra ring charades at a party earlier in the book.) His death appears to have made her fortune.
By a twist of fate Rawdon Crawley dies weeks before his elder brother whose son has already died. Thus the baronetcy descends to Rawdon's son. Had he outlived his brother by even a day he would have become Sir Rawdon Crawley and Becky would have become Lady Crawley - the title she uses regardless in later life.
Ⅳ 介紹一下《名利場》故事梗概,主要人物的性格特徵,結局
《名利場》真實描繪了1810—1820年攝政王時期英國上流社會沒落貴族和資產階級暴發戶等各色人物的丑惡嘴臉和弱肉強食、爾虞我詐的人際關系。
故事主角蓓基·夏潑是一個機靈乖巧的漂亮姑娘。她嘗過貧窮的滋味,一心要掌握自己的命運,擺脫困境。她不擇手段,憑諂媚奉承、走小道鑽後門,飛上高枝,構成一個引人關懷又動人情感的故事。
蓓基·夏潑的丈夫戰後生還。接下來的十年中,蓓基·夏潑生活一帆風順,在社會的階梯上不斷攀升,直至有幸覲見國王,而愛米麗亞·賽特笠卻因父親破產承受著極大的不幸。到了1827年,命運發生了逆轉,蓓基·夏潑的生活落入毀滅的深淵。
《名利場》(Vanity Fair)是十九世紀英國批判現實主義作家威廉·梅克比斯·薩克雷創作的長篇小說。

創作背景

作品賞析
《名利場》的對照手法主要運用於人物形象的塑造上。各色人等紛紛登場:斯丹恩勛爵和畢脫·克勞萊男爵這樣的貴族、老賽特笠和老奧斯本這樣的新興資本家,喬斯·賽特笠這樣的殖民地官員,還有外交官、教會人士、軍官、交際場上的太太們,等等。
他們的性情人品、社會地位、命運走向在相互映襯中突顯,在差異中又顯示出共性,從而勾畫出一副「名利場」上的眾生相
Ⅳ 薩克雷的小說《名利場》
是英國十九世紀小說家薩克雷的成名作品,也是他生平著作里最經得起時間考驗的傑作。是英國較著名的諷刺性批判現實主義小說。故事取材於很熱鬧的英國十九世紀中上層社會。當時國家強盛,工商業發達,由榨壓殖民地或剝削勞工而發財的富商大賈正主宰著這個社會,英法兩國爭權的戰爭也在這時響起了炮聲。中上層社會各式各等人物,都忙著爭權奪位,爭名求利,所謂「天下攘攘,皆為利往,天下熙熙,皆為利來」,名利、權勢、利祿,原是相連相通的。 然而在浮華的背後,回歸自然生活的軍官,所表現出來的真實情感,讓讀者看到戴著虛偽面具的偽裝面孔背後還有如此真摯的情感,超越虛華而朴實的情感。一切的資源都成為其實現如此最終目標的工具,姿色,才智,親情,友情……而當一切的資源都被其利用透徹之後,回頭過來,才知道所謂的名利不過是剎那煙花。名與利,固然可求,但那並不是生活的全部,人如果過分追求名利,名利就會成為心頭最大的誘惑,人也因此變得貪婪、虛偽,失去了自我,失去了一顆純潔的心。而當她在經歷這一切之後,一顆永恆熾熱的心依然在等候著她,她終於重新體認到了善良、寬容、謙和、淳樸、友愛、和平與寧靜,尋找到了身體和心的歸宿,讓時光從的的身外從自己的心內慢慢地流逝如水,從中領略生命的全部意義。
Ⅵ 求名利場的英文簡介
Every year, when winter descends on the country, one of English literature』s great works always finds itself pulled down from my bookshelf: namely, William Thackeray』s immortal Vanity Fair. The reason is simple: no degree of chilliness in the air can extinguish the book』s incredible warmth and humour. It is a tonic.
每年,隨著冬季的降臨,總有一部英國文學的偉大作品從我的書架上取下——威廉·薩克雷不朽的《名利場》。原因很簡單:空氣中的寒意無法驅散書中那不可思議的激情和幽默。它可是滋補品。
Being an accepted classic, Vanity Fair is no doubt familiar to many readers. But its indelible characters and set-pieces still deserve mention. From the sly anti-heroine Becky Sharp to the gentle-mannered Dobbin — and from the mistreatment of a dictionary to the battlefield death of one character (I won』t reveal whom!) — there is not one component of the story which detracts from the whole.
作為一部公認的經典,《名利場》無疑廣為讀者所熟知。然而書中不朽的人物和場景設置仍值得一提。從狡猾的反派女主人公貝姬·夏普到舉止文雅的道賓;從不當地對待字典到一個人物戰死沙場——沒有一個組成部分是不為整體服務的。
The plot and characterisation are underpinned by Thackeray』s acute eye for social detail. He is cutting, of course, but never slips into crude caricature. The result is a portrait of 19th-century society which feels authentic and unpompous. If Vanity Fair succeeds, it is because it is — like much of Dickens』s output — a great work of journalism.
情節和人物塑造都要歸功於薩克雷對社會細節敏銳的捕捉。他的語言是尖刻的,那毫無疑問,但是,絕不淪為粗劣的歪曲的諷刺。而其結果就是一幅描 繪十九世紀的肖像畫,感覺如此真實,不虛誇。如果說《名利場》是成功的,那麼它成功在於——如同很多狄更斯的作品一樣——它是一部偉大的新聞學作品。
To paraphrase The Spectator』s own motto, Vanity Fair is champagne for the soul. For that, I give it my highest recommendation, and raise a glass to Mr William Makepeace Thackeray.
套用一下《旁觀者》雜志自己的座右銘——《名利場》是給靈魂享用的香檳。為此,我給予它最高的推薦,並舉杯向威廉·薩克雷先生致敬。
Ⅶ 推薦幾部英美小說(附英文版作品簡介 、人物介紹以及人物關系,在網上幫我找找就行啦)
1 哈克貝利·弗恩歷險記——馬克·吐溫
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
哈克貝利是一個聰明、善良、勇敢的白人少年。他為了追求自由的生活,逃亡到密西西比河上。在逃亡途中,他遇到了黑奴吉姆。吉姆是一個勤勞朴實、熱情誠實、忠心耿耿的黑奴,他為了逃脫被主人再次賣掉的命運,從主人家中出逃。他們一起漂流在密西西比河上,過著自由自在的生活,兩人成了好朋友。哈克貝利為了吉姆的自由,歷盡千辛萬苦,最後得知,吉姆的主人已在遺囑里解放了他。小說中,哈克貝利和吉姆的性格鮮明突出,形象栩栩如生。全篇的現實主義描繪和浪漫主義抒情交相輝映,尖銳深刻的揭露、幽默辛辣的諷刺以及浪漫傳奇的描寫渾然一體,形成了馬克·吐溫獨特的藝術風格。
2 純真年代——華頓
The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
伊迪絲·沃頓1921年獲得普立策文學獎的小說,她也是普立策獎歷史上首度獲獎的女性作家。
小說的主要情節發生在19世紀70年代末80年代初的紐約上流社會。那是伊迪絲度過童年與青春的地方,她在那兒長大成人,進入社交界,訂婚又解除婚約,最後嫁給波士頓的愛德華華頓,並度過了婚後的最初幾年。時隔40年後,作為小說家的她回顧養育過她也束縛過她的那個社會,她的感情是復雜的,既有親切的眷戀,又有清醒的針砭。作家把那個時代的紐約上流社會比作一個小小的金字塔,它又尖又滑,很難在上面取得立足之地。處在塔頂,真正有貴族血統的只有二三戶人家:華盛頓廣場的達戈內特祖上是正宗的郡中世家;范德盧頓先生是第一任荷蘭總督的嫡孫,他家曾與法國和英國的幾家貴族聯姻;還有與德格拉斯伯爵聯姻的拉寧一家。他們是上流社會的最高階層,但顯然已處於日薄西山的衰敗階段。上流社會的中堅力量是以明戈特家族、紐蘭家族、奇弗斯家族為代表的名門望族,他們的祖輩都是來自英國或荷蘭的富商,早年在殖民地發跡,成為有身份有地位的人物。比如紐蘭·阿切爾的一位曾外祖父曾參與過獨立宣言的簽署,還有一位曾在華盛頓部下任將軍。正如阿切爾太太所說的,「紐約從來就是個商業社會」,占支配地位的是這些殷實的富商。處於金字塔底部的是富有卻不顯貴的人們,他們多數是內戰之後崛起的新富,憑借雄厚的財力,通過聯姻而躋身上流社會。作者從親身經歷與熟悉的環境中提煉素材,塑造人物,將作品題材根置於深厚的現實土壤中。尤其通過博福特命運浮沉這一線索與主人公愛情悲劇的主線相互映襯,使一個看似尋常的愛情故事具備了深刻的社會現實意義。
3 白鯨——梅爾維爾
Moby-Dick by Herman Melville
《白鯨》是美國十九世紀浪漫主義小說家梅爾維爾的代表作。在美國文學史和世界文學史上,《白鯨》都是一部經典的著作,一部偉大的小說,是研究美國文學的一部必讀書。《白鯨》展示給我們的是船長亞哈為追殺白鯨帶領佩闊德號及其般員為復仇而走向毀滅的過程。書中以象徵主義及寓言體的寫作方式向我們展示了一部十九世紀美國的真實畫面。從人與自然的抗爭中亞哈的悲劇,人與人的關系中所體現的悲劇兩個角度可以揭示《白鯨》所表現的時代特徵及所蘊涵的悲劇實質。
4 紅字——納撒尼爾·霍桑
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
19世紀美國浪漫主義作家霍桑的長篇小說。創作於1851年。小說以兩百多年前的殖民地時代的美洲為題材,但揭露的卻是19世紀資本主義發展時代美利堅合眾國社會典法的殘酷、宗教的欺騙和道德的虛偽。主人公海絲特被寫成了崇高道德的化身。她不但感化了表裡不一的丁梅斯代爾,同時也在感化著充滿罪惡的社會。至於她的丈夫奇林渥斯,小說則把他寫成了一個一心只想窺秘復仇的影子式的人物。他在小說中只起情節鋪墊的作用。
小說慣用象徵手法,人物、情節和語言都頗具主觀想像色彩,在描寫中又常把人的心理活動和直覺放在首位。因此,它不僅是浪漫主義小說的代表作,同時也被稱作是美國心理分析小說的開創篇。
5 最後的莫希幹人——庫柏
The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper
《最後的莫希幹人》是《皮裹腿故事集》中最出色的一部。故事發生在十八世紀五十年代末期,英法兩國為爭奪北美殖民地而進行的「七年戰爭」的第三年,地點是在赫德森河的源頭和喬治湖一帶。對於印第安人的被殺戮和印第安部落的消亡,作者的心情是十分沉重的,他深深懷著同情和憤慨。他寫道:「莫希幹人的領土,是被歐洲人侵佔去的美洲大陸的第一塊地盤,因而,莫希幹人就第一個成了離鄉背井的人。面臨著文明的推進,也可以說,文明的入侵,所有印第安部落的人民,就像他們故土林木上的綠葉在刺骨的嚴寒侵凌下紛紛墜地一樣,日益消亡,看來這已成為落到他們頭上的不可避免的命運。有足夠的歷史事實可以證明,這幅慘像並非虛妄之作。」
作者把本書取名為《最後的莫希幹人》,就有著令人心酸的悲哀音調。正直、勇敢的莫希幹人恩卡斯和美麗善良的科拉之死,也不無更深的寓意:隨著他們的死去,他們心靈上的那種美德和純潔的感情也消亡了,留下的只是籠罩在美洲大地上的那些貪婪、殘暴的惡意和邪念。
6 小婦人——路易莎·奧爾科特
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
這部小說以家庭生活為描寫對象,以家庭成員的感情糾葛為線索,描寫了馬奇一家的天倫之愛。馬奇家的四姐妹中,無論是為了愛情甘於貧困的梅格,還是通過自己奮鬥成為作家的喬,以及坦然面對死亡的貝思和以扶弱為己任的艾米,雖然她們的理想和命運都不盡相同,但是她們都具有自強自立的共同特點。描寫了她們對家庭的眷戀;對愛的忠誠以及對親情的渴望。馬奇一家有四個姐妹,生活清貧、簡單而又溫馨。四組妹性格迥異;老大梅格漂亮端莊,有些愛慕虛榮;老二喬自由獨立,渴望成為作家,老三貝絲善良羞澀,熱愛音樂,老四埃米聰慧活潑,愛好藝術,希望成為一名上流社會的「淑女」。
所有時代的所有少女成長過程中所要面對的經歷的,都可以在這本書中找到:初戀的甜蜜和煩惱,感情與理智的譯,理想和現實的差距,貧窮與富有的矛盾。
7 野性的呼喚——傑克·倫敦
The Call of the Wild by Jack London
《野性的呼喚》是傑克·倫敦最負盛名的小說。故事主要敘述一隻強壯勇猛的狼狗巴克從人類文明社會回到狼群原始生活的過程。巴克是一頭體重140磅的十分強壯的狗。他本來在一個大法官家裡過著優裕的生活,後來被法官的園丁偷走,輾轉賣給郵局,又被送到阿拉斯加嚴寒地區去拉運送郵件的雪橇。巴克最初被賣給兩個法裔加拿大人。這些被買來的狗不僅受到了冷酷的人類的虐待,而且在狗之間為了爭奪狗群的領導權,也無時不在互相爭斗、殘殺。由於體力超群、機智勇敢,巴克最終打敗斯比茨成為狗群的領隊狗。他先後換過幾個主人,最後被約翰·索頓收留。那是在巴克被殘暴的主人哈爾打得遍體鱗傷、奄奄一息時,索頓救了他,並悉心為他療傷。在索頓的精心護理下巴克恢復得很快,由此他們之間產生了真摯的感情。巴克對索頓非常忠誠,他兩次不顧生命危險救了索頓的命,並在索頓和別人打賭時,拚命把一個載有一千磅鹽的雪橇拉動,為索頓贏了一大筆錢。不幸的是,在淘金的過程中,索頓被印第安人殺死。狂怒之下,巴克咬死了幾個印第安人,為主人報了仇。這時恩主已死,他覺得對這個人類社會已無所留戀。況且,一段時期以來,荒野中總回盪著一個神秘的呼喚聲。這個聲音吸引著他。最終,他回應著這個聲音,進入森林,從此與狼為伍,過著原始動物的生活。但他不忘舊誼,仍然定期到主人的葬身之處去憑吊。
8 湯姆叔叔的小屋——哈里特·比徹·斯托
Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe
出生於康涅狄格州的斯托夫人,是哈特福德女子學院(Hartford Female Academy)的一名教師,同時,她也是一位積極的廢奴主義者。全書圍繞著一位久經苦難的黑奴湯姆叔叔的故事展開,並描述了他與他身邊人——均為奴隸與奴隸主——的經歷。這部感傷小說深刻地描繪出了奴隸制度殘酷的本質;並認為基督徒的愛可以戰勝由奴役人類同胞所帶來的種種傷害。
《湯姆叔叔的小屋》這部小說是19世紀最暢銷的小說(以及第二暢銷的書,僅次於最暢銷的書《聖經》)並被認為是刺激1850代廢奴主義興起的一大原因。在它發表的頭一年裡,在美國本土便銷售出了三十萬冊。《湯姆叔叔的小屋》對美國社會的影響是如此巨大,以致在南北戰爭爆發的初期,當林肯接見斯托夫人時,曾說到:「你就是那位引發了一場大戰的小婦人。」後來,這句話為眾多作家競相引用。
《湯姆叔叔的小屋》以及受其啟發而寫作出的各種劇本,還促進了大量黑人刻板印象的產生,不少的這些形象在當今都為人們所熟知。譬如慈愛善良的黑人保姆、黑小孩的原型、以及順從、堅忍並忠心於白人主人的湯姆叔叔。最近幾十年來,《湯姆叔叔的小屋》中的這些消極成分,已在一定程度上弱化了這本書作為「重要的反奴隸制工具」的歷史作用。
