Mornings in Mexico(墨西哥早晨) 立即阅读
Mornings in Mexico is a collection of travel essays by D. H. Lawrence, first published by Martin Secker in 1927. These brief works display Lawrence's gifts as a travel writer, catching the 'spirit of place' in his own vivid manner. Lawrence wrote the first four of these essays at the same time as he was completing and revising his Mexican novel, The Plumed Serpent (1926). Three of the others, about Pueblo Indians, were written earlier in 1924 in New Mexico, and the final piece "A Little Moonshine with Lemon" came later as Lawrence remembered his New Mexico ranch (Kiowa Ranch) from Italy.
小说叙述了一个金钱毁灭人性和造成家庭悲剧的故事,围绕欧也妮的爱情悲剧这一中心事件,以葛朗台家庭内专制所掀起的阵阵波澜、家庭外银行家和公证人两户之间的明争暗斗和欧也妮对夏尔·葛朗台倾心相爱而查理背信弃义的痛苦的人世遭遇三条相互交织的情节线索连串小说。《欧叶妮·葛朗台》是一场爱情悲剧,然而,这场悲剧的两位青年主人公却不是故事中的第一主角。换句话说,巴尔扎克竭尽全力浓墨重彩加以描绘的,既不是悲剧中的负心汉,甚至也不是痴情女,而是这场悲剧的主要制造者老葛朗台。《欧也妮·葛朗台》是一幅法国19世纪前半期外省的色彩缤纷的社会风俗画。揭露了资本主义社会的罪恶,金钱对人的思想灵魂腐蚀和摧残。

Something entirely new, unseen and unheard-of formerly, has lately shown itself in our country districts. To our village, consisting of eighty homesteads, from half a dozen to a dozen cold, hungry, tattered tramps come every day, wanting a night's lodging. These people, ragged, half-naked, barefoot, often ill, and extremely dirty, come into the village and go to the village policeman. That they should not die in the street of hunger and exposure, he quarters them on the inhabitants of the village, regarding only the peasants as "inhabitants."
