Ethan Frome(伊坦·弗洛美)

Wharton, Edith

内容简介

伊坦?弗洛美是二十世纪初在新英格兰的一个破败农场的农场主。其妻子西娜在婚前照顾伊坦生病的父亲，但婚后却重病在床一直由伊坦照顾。西娜的表妹玛提这时前来投奔伊坦，之后却与他发生感情。后经变故，西娜反而承担了伊坦和已经残疾的玛提的生活。 An entrancing but sad story of a poverty-stricken Massachusetts farmer caught in a loveless marriage. The main characters are Ethan Frome, his wife Zenobia, called Zeena, and her young cousin Mattie Silver. Frome and Zeena marry after she nurses his mother in her last illness. Although Frome seems ambitious and intelligent, Zeena holds him back. When her young cousin Mattie comes to stay on their New England farm, Frome falls in love with her. But the social conventions of the day doom their love and their hopes. Ethan’s love for his young cousin leads to one day of explosive emotions with tragic consequences. The story forcefully conveys Wharton’s abhorrence of society’s unbending standards of loyalty.
