我见过
是一本小说
小说的背景是19世纪的初期。塞拉斯马尼尔是在北英格兰的一个纺织工人；他被诬告偷窃天主教会的钱，因为在他家里发现两个证据，一把小折刀和装钱的袋子。由于他不久前曾把小折刀借给好友威廉，可能是威廉陷害他。被定罪后，未婚妻离开他嫁给了威廉。塞拉斯最后伤心离开家乡，隐居于中部的一个名为拉瓦罗的村庄，并且患上了全身僵硬症。他的生存就是辛勤工作赚取金元；没想到他辛苦储蓄的金元却被当地一个地主的儿子，丹西偷走了，使他深受打击。随后，丹西失踪了，但没有引起人们的注意，也没有与失窃联系起来。
丹西有个哥哥，戈弗雷，他曾把自己的妻子茉莉抛弃，并正在追求一位上流社会的女士南施。
茉莉带着两岁的女儿回来想破坏戈弗雷的好事。然而，她在途中抽鸦片过量倒在雪地上，女儿误打误闯进了塞拉斯的房子。他跟随雪上的脚印发现茉莉已死亡，戈弗雷也赶到了，但他却没有承认茉莉是他的妻子。
塞拉斯决定收养者孩子，并给她起名伊碧。伊碧改变了塞拉斯的生活；虽然丢失了黄金，却换来了金发的伊碧。戈弗雷得偿所愿与南施结婚，但对曾经结婚和有女儿的秘密继续掩盖。但他会不时资助塞拉斯来照顾伊碧。
十六年过去了，伊碧已长得亭亭玉立；她和塞拉斯有很强烈的纽带关系，让塞拉斯感到生活的意义。有消息传来，丹西的骨骸在距离塞拉斯居所不远的采石矿被发现，手中还拿著塞拉斯的金元；黄金最终物归原主。戈弗雷受到弟弟意外的刺激而良心发现，他向南施承认茉莉是他的前妻，伊碧是他的女儿。他想把女儿接回去，但遭到伊碧的拒绝。
伊碧后来嫁给了塞拉斯的好邻居多莉的儿子，艾伦。一堆新人搬进了戈弗雷送给塞拉斯的新房子。塞拉斯多年来赋予伊碧的关爱为大家带来了欢乐，自己也获得幸福。

Sunshine Comes After Rain

----After Reading Silas Marner by George Eliot

Recently, I devoted myself to the reading of Silas Marner by George Eliot. George Eliot is one of the most wonderful writers in England in nineteen century. The novel I have read, Silas Marner, also the name of the rueful character, is clearly Eliot's best and one of the most effecting novels. It tells us a tender of sin, betrayal and love happened in rural 1800's England.

Silas Marner was a common linen-weaver who was in a common town. He was living a miserable life. When he found that he was set up in a scheme made by his best friend, he was so astonished. But people there didn't believe in the law or judges but God. Just the “God” gave Marner a huge disaster.

I really felt so sorry to Marner when I was reading about this. Because Marner believed in God, but his trust in God and in his friends had been broken. He moved to a small countryside named Raveloe, hoping life could get better there. He tried to help others, but his kindness didn't bring him any friend. Nobody believed him for he had an unknown past. He lived in a dark, loveless, hopeless world.

People always talked about Marner. They knew he had a lot of money. Each time he got a new coin, he would save it up. His gold became a habit, a delight, a reason for living, almost a religion. He wasn't interested in the world outside his home. What a poor man!

But his hidden coins were stolen by the squire's son, Dunstan Cass. Marner couldn't find out who was the thief. That made him extremely sad. He desperately wanted to get back the gold stolen.

Now, miserable Marner had nothing to look forward to. He lost the most important thing that could guide him to the usual life. But gradually, his neighbors realized it was wrong to be suspicious of him because he didn't do anything guilty at all! They changed their opinion of him. Some people even began to help him in different ways.

On a snowy evening, Marner found a child whose mother was dead crawling to his house. The poor little girl was as alone as Marner. He took a pity on the girl and decided to look after her, naming her Eppie. Since then, Marner and Eppie depended on each other. They came to love each other as father and daughter. Together they played in the fields, visited their neighbors. That was all he had never experienced. That was also the beginning of his luck. Neighbors were friendlier with him when they found Marner's love and kindness. He was no longer working and living only for his gold. He had to look outward. Eppie made his life full again. She was simply a present God gave to him!

The girl grew up. When Marner knew who Eppie's father was, he didn't worry at all, for the girl had regarded Marner as her own father. Marner's life had become happy and sunny. He realized there must be a God of goodness in the world, for it was him who brought Eppie to Marner. Eppie gave him a chance to let him know what love was, and how to treat others sincerely.

It's a sad story which has a happy ending. It tells us about the philosophy of life. That is very important to me, who am just growing up and whose outlook on life is just coming into being.

After reading the story, I closed the book and got lost in thought. Nobody could live without money in our lives. But, having enough money doesn't mean having happiness. Love, the feeling of love, is more important. When Marner once owned gold, he didn't feel happy. He was crazy at that time. The happiest time was the days that Eppie brought to him. He didn't want Eppie to repeat his lonely, loveless and hopeless life. So he gave all he had to her. He loved her. Thus he felt happy. People showed no concern just because they didn't comprehend him at first. After Marner opened his mind and showed it to the others, he could make others be friends with him. So sometimes, when we feel lonely, try to think that did we show or give love to the others? If not, why and how can we expect receiving?

Is the God good or bad? He changed Marner's life from happy to depressive, and then made it happy again. God is fair. Perhaps it is not the God's effect; it all depends on our attitude to life. Continue our faith and hope, the good life always coming after the bad one. Just like the sunshine always come after the rain. Marner finally received happiness after all the hardness, because he gave as much as he received. God helps those who help themselves. Don't be dejected and give up ourselves when facing censures. Otherwise Marner couldn’t have been happy at last, isn’t it?

The character of the story is Silas Marner.He is a Weavers.Because of his friend's betrayal ,Silas Marner had been accused of a thief and had to leave his hometown .At the same time,he broke the marriage with his girlfriend.He lost confidience in people.Gradually ,he became a miser .He consider money as his friend.However, the money saved for fifteen years has all been stolen.He became a penniless pauper.At the time he was about to give up his life in despair,he met a three-year-old boy.The little boy changed his attitude towards life.He hosted the abandoned child and re-find the meaning of life. Silas Marner is one of George Eliot's most admired and loved works.The story stressed the importance of the moral concepts of retribution.I think it worth reading. 抱抱哈 我水平有限~！就这些咯 我乱翻的~不知道行不行呀 我借鉴了高考词汇手册 努力了老半天就翻了这些 囧

　　1 哈克贝利·弗恩历险记——马克·吐温

　　The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain


　　哈克贝利是一个聪明、善良、勇敢的白人少年。他为了追求自由的生活，逃亡到密西西比河上。在逃亡途中，他遇到了黑奴吉姆。吉姆是一个勤劳朴实、热情诚实、忠心耿耿的黑奴，他为了逃脱被主人再次卖掉的命运，从主人家中出逃。他们一起漂流在密西西比河上，过着自由自在的生活，两人成了好朋友。哈克贝利为了吉姆的自由，历尽千辛万苦，最后得知，吉姆的主人已在遗嘱里解放了他。小说中，哈克贝利和吉姆的性格鲜明突出，形象栩栩如生。全篇的现实主义描绘和浪漫主义抒情交相辉映，尖锐深刻的揭露、幽默辛辣的讽刺以及浪漫传奇的描写浑然一体，形成了马克·吐温独特的艺术风格。


　　2 纯真年代——华顿

　　The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton


　　伊迪丝·沃顿1921年获得普立策文学奖的小说，她也是普立策奖历史上首度获奖的女性作家。

　　小说的主要情节发生在19世纪70年代末80年代初的纽约上流社会。那是伊迪丝度过童年与青春的地方,她在那儿长大成人,进入社交界,订婚又解除婚约,最后嫁给波士顿的爱德华华顿,并度过了婚后的最初几年。时隔40年后,作为小说家的她回顾养育过她也束缚过她的那个社会,她的感情是复杂的,既有亲切的眷恋,又有清醒的针砭。作家把那个时代的纽约上流社会比作一个小小的金字塔,它又尖又滑,很难在上面取得立足之地。处在塔顶,真正有贵族血统的只有二三户人家:华盛顿广场的达戈内特祖上是正宗的郡中世家;范德卢顿先生是第一任荷兰总督的嫡孙,他家曾与法国和英国的几家贵族联姻;还有与德格拉斯伯爵联姻的拉宁一家。他们是上流社会的最高阶层,但显然已处于日薄西山的衰败阶段。上流社会的中坚力量是以明戈特家族、纽兰家族、奇弗斯家族为代表的名门望族,他们的祖辈都是来自英国或荷兰的富商,早年在殖民地发迹,成为有身份有地位的人物。比如纽兰·阿切尔的一位曾外祖父曾参与过独立宣言的签署,还有一位曾在华盛顿部下任将军。正如阿切尔太太所说的,“纽约从来就是个商业社会”,占支配地位的是这些殷实的富商。处于金字塔底部的是富有却不显贵的人们,他们多数是内战之后崛起的新富,凭借雄厚的财力,通过联姻而跻身上流社会。作者从亲身经历与熟悉的环境中提炼素材,塑造人物,将作品题材根置于深厚的现实土壤中。尤其通过博福特命运浮沉这一线索与主人公爱情悲剧的主线相互映衬,使一个看似寻常的爱情故事具备了深刻的社会现实意义。


　　3 白鲸——梅尔维尔

　　Moby-Dick by Herman Melville


　　《白鲸》是美国十九世纪浪漫主义小说家梅尔维尔的代表作。在美国文学史和世界文学史上,《白鲸》都是一部经典的著作,一部伟大的小说,是研究美国文学的一部必读书。《白鲸》展示给我们的是船长亚哈为追杀白鲸带领佩阔德号及其般员为复仇而走向毁灭的过程。书中以象征主义及寓言体的写作方式向我们展示了一部十九世纪美国的真实画面。从人与自然的抗争中亚哈的悲剧，人与人的关系中所体现的悲剧两个角度可以揭示《白鲸》所表现的时代特征及所蕴涵的悲剧实质。


　　4 红字——纳撒尼尔·霍桑

　　The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne


　　19世纪美国浪漫主义作家霍桑的长篇小说。创作于1851年。小说以两百多年前的殖民地时代的美洲为题材，但揭露的却是19世纪资本主义发展时代美利坚合众国社会典法的残酷、宗教的欺骗和道德的虚伪。主人公海丝特被写成了崇高道德的化身。她不但感化了表里不一的丁梅斯代尔，同时也在感化着充满罪恶的社会。至于她的丈夫奇林渥斯，小说则把他写成了一个一心只想窥秘复仇的影子式的人物。他在小说中只起情节铺垫的作用。


　　小说惯用象征手法，人物、情节和语言都颇具主观想象色彩，在描写中又常把人的心理活动和直觉放在首位。因此，它不仅是浪漫主义小说的代表作，同时也被称作是美国心理分析小说的开创篇。


　　5 最后的莫希干人——库柏

　　The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper


　　《最后的莫希干人》是《皮裹腿故事集》中最出色的一部。故事发生在十八世纪五十年代末期，英法两国为争夺北美殖民地而进行的“七年战争”的第三年，地点是在赫德森河的源头和乔治湖一带。对于印第安人的被杀戮和印第安部落的消亡，作者的心情是十分沉重的，他深深怀着同情和愤慨。他写道：“莫希干人的领土，是被欧洲人侵占去的美洲大陆的第一块地盘，因而，莫希干人就第一个成了离乡背井的人。面临着文明的推进，也可以说，文明的入侵，所有印第安部落的人民，就像他们故土林木上的绿叶在刺骨的严寒侵凌下纷纷坠地一样，日益消亡，看来这已成为落到他们头上的不可避免的命运。有足够的历史事实可以证明，这幅惨像并非虚妄之作。”

　　作者把本书取名为《最后的莫希干人》，就有着令人心酸的悲哀音调。正直、勇敢的莫希干人恩卡斯和美丽善良的科拉之死，也不无更深的寓意：随着他们的死去，他们心灵上的那种美德和纯洁的感情也消亡了，留下的只是笼罩在美洲大地上的那些贪婪、残暴的恶意和邪念。


　　6 小妇人——路易莎·奥尔科特

　　Little Women by Louisa May Alcott


　　这部小说以家庭生活为描写对象，以家庭成员的感情纠葛为线索，描写了马奇一家的天伦之爱。马奇家的四姐妹中，无论是为了爱情甘于贫困的梅格，还是通过自己奋斗成为作家的乔，以及坦然面对死亡的贝思和以扶弱为己任的艾米，虽然她们的理想和命运都不尽相同，但是她们都具有自强自立的共同特点。描写了她们对家庭的眷恋；对爱的忠诚以及对亲情的渴望。马奇一家有四个姐妹，生活清贫、简单而又温馨。四组妹性格迥异；老大梅格漂亮端庄，有些爱慕虚荣；老二乔自由独立，渴望成为作家，老三贝丝善良羞涩，热爱音乐，老四埃米聪慧活泼，爱好艺术，希望成为一名上流社会的“淑女”。


　　所有时代的所有少女成长过程中所要面对的经历的，都可以在这本书中找到：初恋的甜蜜和烦恼，感情与理智的译，理想和现实的差距，贫穷与富有的矛盾。


　　7 野性的呼唤——杰克·伦敦

　　The Call of the Wild by Jack London


　　《野性的呼唤》是杰克·伦敦最负盛名的小说。故事主要叙述一只强壮勇猛的狼狗巴克从人类文明社会回到狼群原始生活的过程。巴克是一头体重140磅的十分强壮的狗。他本来在一个大法官家里过着优裕的生活，后来被法官的园丁偷走，辗转卖给邮局，又被送到阿拉斯加严寒地区去拉运送邮件的雪橇。巴克最初被卖给两个法裔加拿大人。这些被买来的狗不仅受到了冷酷的人类的虐待，而且在狗之间为了争夺狗群的领导权，也无时不在互相争斗、残杀。由于体力超群、机智勇敢，巴克最终打败斯比茨成为狗群的领队狗。他先后换过几个主人，最后被约翰·索顿收留。那是在巴克被残暴的主人哈尔打得遍体鳞伤、奄奄一息时，索顿救了他，并悉心为他疗伤。在索顿的精心护理下巴克恢复得很快，由此他们之间产生了真挚的感情。巴克对索顿非常忠诚，他两次不顾生命危险救了索顿的命，并在索顿和别人打赌时，拼命把一个载有一千磅盐的雪橇拉动，为索顿赢了一大笔钱。不幸的是，在淘金的过程中，索顿被印第安人杀死。狂怒之下，巴克咬死了几个印第安人，为主人报了仇。这时恩主已死，他觉得对这个人类社会已无所留恋。况且，一段时期以来，荒野中总回荡着一个神秘的呼唤声。这个声音吸引着他。最终，他回应着这个声音，进入森林，从此与狼为伍，过着原始动物的生活。但他不忘旧谊，仍然定期到主人的葬身之处去凭吊。


　　8 汤姆叔叔的小屋——哈里特·比彻·斯托

　　Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe


　　出生于康涅狄格州的斯托夫人，是哈特福德女子学院（Hartford Female Academy）的一名教师，同时，她也是一位积极的废奴主义者。全书围绕着一位久经苦难的黑奴汤姆叔叔的故事展开，并描述了他与他身边人——均为奴隶与奴隶主——的经历。这部感伤小说深刻地描绘出了奴隶制度残酷的本质；并认为基督徒的爱可以战胜由奴役人类同胞所带来的种种伤害。


　　《汤姆叔叔的小屋》这部小说是19世纪最畅销的小说（以及第二畅销的书，仅次于最畅销的书《圣经》）并被认为是刺激1850代废奴主义兴起的一大原因。在它发表的头一年里，在美国本土便销售出了三十万册。《汤姆叔叔的小屋》对美国社会的影响是如此巨大，以致在南北战争爆发的初期，当林肯接见斯托夫人时，曾说到：“你就是那位引发了一场大战的小妇人。”后来，这句话为众多作家竞相引用。


　　《汤姆叔叔的小屋》以及受其启发而写作出的各种剧本，还促进了大量黑人刻板印象的产生，不少的这些形象在当今都为人们所熟知。譬如慈爱善良的黑人保姆、黑小孩的原型、以及顺从、坚忍并忠心于白人主人的汤姆叔叔。最近几十年来，《汤姆叔叔的小屋》中的这些消极成分，已在一定程度上弱化了这本书作为“重要的反奴隶制工具”的历史作用。


　　9 鸽之翼——亨利·詹姆斯

　　The Wings of the Dove by Henry James


　　这本书的知名度不及作者另外两部长篇小说《一个美国人》、《贵妇的肖像》，不过亨利詹姆斯在这本小说中所塑造的米莉角色其实是在纪念他早逝的美国表妹, 并用以对比欧洲巧诈虚伪的世故人情。詹姆斯是同性恋者。他与同时代的美国女作家伊迪丝·华顿（纯真年代作者）保持着长期的友谊。小说描写一位英国记者为钱财追求一个患有不治之症的美国姑娘的故事。一个三角恋的故事演绎了道德和爱情的挣扎。

　　11 瓦尔登湖——亨利·梭罗

　　Walden by Henry David Thoreau


　　瓦尔登湖（Walden; or, Life in the Woods），中国大陆译“瓦尔登湖”，台湾译“湖滨散记”，是美国作家亨利·戴维·梭罗所著的一本著名散文集。


　　该书出版于1854年，梭罗在书中详尽地描述了他在瓦尔登湖湖畔一片再生林中度过两年又两月的生活以及期间他的许多思考。瓦尔登湖地处美国马萨诸塞州东部的康科德城，离梭罗家不远。梭罗把这次经历称为简朴隐居生活的一次尝试。


　　《瓦尔登湖》的中文译本有多种，例如有徐迟、张知遥以及戴欢等翻译的版本。


　　美国的19世纪是个辉煌的时代，一大批作家都深受超验主义的影响，主活在这一时代的梭罗也不例外。作为这个时代的代表人物，梭罗对超验主义更是身体力行，《瓦尔登湖》就是他这一思想的体现，它是一部蕴含了深刻哲理的散文。细细读过《瓦尔登湖》的人都有体会；他是在探求怎样实实在在的生活，怎样体验与经历有意义的生活，为自己，也为他的市民同胞，还有当时与后来的读者们。


　　本书以春天开始，历经了夏天、秋天和冬天，又以春天结束，这正是一个生命的轮回，终点又是起点，生命开始复苏。

　　The Education of Henry Adams by Henry Adams


　　本书曾于1919年获普利策奖，自问世以来，一版再版，并被译成多国文字，广为流传，经久不衰。亨利·亚当斯为美国著名历史学家，先后就读、执教于哈佛大学，曾任美国历史学会主席。他出身于声名显赫的总统世家。他以第三人称写成的自传体作品《亨利·亚当斯的教育》，是享誉世界的经典传记，也是世界一流的教育经典与历史文化名著。本书运用自传与德式教育小说相结合，对一个时代进行了批判性的评价。它要说的不是本书所讲述的历史，而是对那一段历史的反思，因此，亚当斯希望人们这样来看他这本书，把这本书当做一个历史哲学的思辨过程。

　　14 草叶集——沃尔特·惠特曼

　　Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman


　　《草叶集》是十九世纪美国作家惠特曼的浪漫主义诗集，共收有诗歌三百余首，诗集得名于其中这样的一句诗：“哪里有土，哪里有水，哪里就长着草。”


　　草叶是最普通、最有生命力的东西，象征着当时正在蓬勃发展的美国。诗集通过“自我”感受和“自我”形象，热情歌颂了资本主义上升时期的美国。


　　惠特曼从小热爱民主和自由，他只读过五六年书，十几岁就外出谋生。他当过排字工人、木工、泥水匠、农村教师和编辑等。惠特曼勤奋好学，利用业余时间阅读了大量世界文学名著。他从十九世纪四十年代起开始写诗，于1855年出版了《草叶集》的第一版。他在一封给朋友的信中说：“记着，这本书是我从1838年至1853年间在布鲁克林的生活中涌现出来的，其中吸进了千百万个人和十五年的生活；那种亲密，那种热烈，那种陶醉，简直是无与伦比的。”


　　《草叶集》是惠特曼一生创作的总汇，也是美国诗歌史上一座灿烂的里程碑。作品包含了丰富而深刻的思想内容，充分反映了十九世纪中期美国的时代精神。诗人站在激进的资产阶级民主主义立场上讴歌美国这块“民主的大地”：


　　那里没有奴隶，也没有奴隶的主人，


　　那里人民立刻起来反对被选人的无休止的胡作非为，


　　那里男人女人勇猛地奔赴死的号召，有如大海汹涌的狂浪，


　　那里外部的权利总是跟随在内部的权利之后，


　　那里公民总是头脑和理想，总统，市长，州长只是有报酬的雇用人，


　　那里孩子们被教育着自己管理自己，并自己依靠自己，


　　15 诗——艾米莉·狄金森

　　Poems by Emily Dickinson


　　艾米莉·狄金森在一八八六年与世长辞；而她深锁在盒子里的大量创作诗篇，则是她留给世人的最大厚礼。纵然在她有生之年，她的作品未能获得当时的青睐，然而周遭众人对她的不解与误会，却丝毫无法低损她丰富的创作天分。根据现存作品，艾米莉惊人的创作力为自己，也为世人留下一千八百首诗，包括了定本的一千七百七十五首与新近发现的二十五首。


　　艾米莉的妹妹——拉维妮雅（Lavinia）认得艾米莉的字迹，但她却不了解这些文字代表的是艾米莉终其一生的热情。当她发现这个藏着一千多首诗的箱子时，她真的十分震惊。无论拉维妮雅是否了解这些诗句的真正价值，或者只是因为它们是“艾米莉所写的诗”，她都坚信这些诗作一定得出版。通过她的大力奔走，再加上玛波·鲁米斯·陶德（Mabel Loomis Todd）编辑的鼎力相助，第一辑的艾米莉诗本终于在一八九零年付梓出版，书里所收录的诗作只是艾米莉毕生创作中的一小部分。第一辑总共印了十一刷，而第二辑及第三辑也分别在一八九一年及一八九六年顺利付梓问世。一般大众及多数的评论家都给这些诗作相当高的评价。到了一八九六年，艾米莉·狄金森已成为家喻户晓的知名诗人。之后更多的作品，包括许多由其它管道收集的诗作，在接下来的五十年大量地出现，但直到一九九五年全三册的定本才由汤玛斯·约翰森（Thomas H.Johnson）审定出版。这本书一共收集了一千七百七十五首诗以及一些断简残编，并依照时间顺序编辑排足，由哈佛大学出版社的贝尔耐出版部（Belknap Press of Harvard University Press）出版。


　　艾米莉死后，世人才重新定位她的诗人身份，同时也认清了自己错过些什么。然而，艾米莉的个人真实生活风貌，却始终难以真正获得厘清。虽然市面上有不少关于她的传记、评论及心理分析的著作出现，但她的日常生活却鲜为人知，而且艾米莉与周遭亲友间的相处关系，却一直没有什么资料留存，于是大多数人仅能揣测这些关系的真正面貌。最近这几年，许多出土的资料已经让黑暗的角落有了一线曙光，但是所谓“真正的艾米莉”，学界仍然存在着许多不同的诠释。


　　16 海华沙之歌——朗费罗

　　The Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


　　费朗罗(1807-1882)，美国诗人。1807年2月22日生于缅因州一律师家庭，1882年3月24日卒于马萨诸塞州剑桥市。曾就读于博多因学院，与N.霍桑同学。1825年毕业后去欧洲游历，研究法、意、西、德等国语言文学。1836年开始在哈佛大学任教，致力于评介欧洲浪漫主义文学，成为新英格兰文化思想中心的重要人物。前期诗作有《夜吟》、《歌谣及其他》、《布吕赫钟楼及其他》、《海边与炉边》等，诗风简朴生动，乐观向上，受到国内外赞赏传诵。主要作品3部叙事长诗，或称通俗史诗：《伊凡吉林》、《海华沙之歌》和《迈尔斯·斯坦狄什的求婚》。它们都取材于民间故事，古风绰约。其中《海华沙之歌》是美国文学史上首部精心改写的印第安人史诗，盛极一时。1861年夫人不幸过世，为摆脱痛苦，他翻译了但丁的《神曲》，并写出 6首十四行诗。受乔叟《坎特伯雷故事集》影响，1863年发表《路畔旅舍的故事》，讲述美国早期民间传说与革命故事。费朗罗晚年获得牛津与剑桥荣誉学位，在国内誉为民族大诗人。

小说的背景是19世纪的初期。塞拉斯马尼尔是在北英格兰的一个纺织工人；他被诬告偷窃天主教会的钱，因为在他家里发现两个证据，一把小折刀和装钱的袋子。由于他不久前曾把小折刀借给好友威廉，可能是威廉陷害他。被定罪后，未婚妻离开他嫁给了威廉。塞拉斯最后伤心离开家乡，隐居于中部的一个名为拉瓦罗的村庄，并且患上了全身僵硬症。他的生存就是辛勤工作赚取金元；没想到他辛苦储蓄的金元却被当地一个地主的儿子，丹西偷走了，使他深受打击。随后，丹西失踪了，但没有引起人们的注意，也没有与失窃联系起来。
丹西有个哥哥，戈弗雷，他曾把自己的妻子茉莉抛弃，并正在追求一位上流社会的女士南施。
茉莉带着两岁的女儿回来想破坏戈弗雷的好事。然而，她在途中抽鸦片过量倒在雪地上，女儿误打误闯进了塞拉斯的房子。他跟随雪上的脚印发现茉莉已死亡，戈弗雷也赶到了，但他却没有承认茉莉是他的妻子。
塞拉斯决定收养者孩子，并给她起名伊碧。伊碧改变了塞拉斯的生活；虽然丢失了黄金，却换来了金发的伊碧。戈弗雷得偿所愿与南施结婚，但对曾经结婚和有女儿的秘密继续掩盖。但他会不时资助塞拉斯来照顾伊碧。
十六年过去了，伊碧已长得亭亭玉立；她和塞拉斯有很强烈的纽带关系，让塞拉斯感到生活的意义。有消息传来，丹西的骨骸在距离塞拉斯居所不远的采石矿被发现，手中还拿著塞拉斯的金元；黄金最终物归原主。戈弗雷受到弟弟意外的刺激而良心发现，他向南施承认茉莉是他的前妻，伊碧是他的女儿。他想把女儿接回去，但遭到伊碧的拒绝。
伊碧后来嫁给了塞拉斯的好邻居多莉的儿子，艾伦。一堆新人搬进了戈弗雷送给塞拉斯的新房子。塞拉斯多年来赋予伊碧的关爱为大家带来了欢乐，自己也获得幸福。

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is considered to be one of the greatest English novelists of the Victorian period. Dickens's works are characterized by attacks on social evils, injustice, and hypocrisy.
Later critics, beginning with George Gissing and G.K. Chesterton, championed his mastery of prose, his endless invention of memorable characters and his powerful social sensibilities. Yet he also received criticism from his more rarefied readers, including George Henry Lewes, Henry James, and Virginia Woolf, who list faults such as sentimentality, unrealistic events and grotesque characters[1].

The popularity of his novels and short stories during his lifetime and to the present is demonstrated by the fact that none has ever gone out of print. Dickens wrote serialised novels, which was the usual format for fiction at the time, and each new part of his stories would be eagerly anticipated by the reading public. He is regarded by many as the greatest writer of his time.
