《还乡TheReturnOfTheNative_英语有声小说》是英国著名作家托马斯·哈代创作的一部关于性格和环境的小说,他主要是以荒芜的场景为背景,描写了五个青年男女的不同的前途和命运,这本书还乡TheReturnOfTheNative主要讲述了男主人公和女主人公之间刚开始幸福的生活,之后又经历了很多波折和困难,但是他们没有经受住这些困境最后走向了分手的地步。虽然男主人公出生富贵,但是他却有良好的素质并且对乡里的人们具有同情的心思,他并不忍心乡里的人们过着这么艰苦的生活,但是他也很不喜欢虽然出生富贵却过着奢华的生活的人,他想要改变乡里的人们悲惨的生活但是却无计可施。但是相反的是女主人公,虽然也出身平凡但是却是孤儿,她想要过上更加美好的生活,他想要待脱贫困实现自己的人生价值。虽然他们两个在中间的时候相爱了,但是却因为彼此的目标不同,又分道扬镳,所以在这些过程中造就了很多千古爱情的悲剧。由于托马斯哈代就是生于农村特别没落的贵族平凡家庭,所以他对于这部小说也是寄予特别美好的愿望,但是却也不乏很多悲观的色彩,虽然中间有过喜有过悲,因为总之他们最后的结局都是以悲剧收场。LikeallofHardy'swork,TheReturnoftheNative(1878)ispassionateandcontroversial,withthemesandsympathiesbeyondwhatagoodVictorianwouldeveradmit.Amodernandhonestnovelofchanceandchoice,faithandinfidelities,thisdarkstoryaskswhatisfreewillandwhatisfate?Whatisthetruenatureofnature,andhowdowefittogether?

狄更斯-圣诞故事集-ChristmasStories_英语有声小说,可对比收听中文版的圣诞故事集。作者出生于一八一二年的朴次茅斯市的郊区,一八七零年六月去世,享年五十八岁。他与莫泊桑一样,都是十九世纪的批判实现主义作家,只不过他是英国人。他的一生,也是极为坎坷的一生。自幼时,他的家里还算是少有积蓄的富足家庭,但是由于父母在金钱浪费上的没有计划,才他十二岁时父亲就由于债务问题而入狱了。以后,他的家庭就变的很贫困,而作者也只得到一家鞋油厂作每天不少于十小时的工。正是由于这样的成长过程,所以作者深刻的体会到了生活的艰辛,也过早的看到了人情的冷暖。因此,在作者狄更斯的作品里,他总是特别的关注生活在社会底层劳动人民的生活状态。本故事集——圣诞故事集-ChristmasStories,是作者自一八四三年至一八四五年间,除一八四七年之外,在每一年的圣诞节所发表的一部中篇小说,一共有五篇。其中有三篇,都是以圣诞节为故事的起点,为我们讲述在圣诞之夜,书中的主人公与雨夜幽灵之间的故事。在这几篇故事时,作者让我们看到了生活在社会最底层的群体,他们善良、勤劳、简朴,但却一直被富人所压迫,剥削,终日不得温饱的在社会现象。而这些用自己双手来活命的穷人,却被富人看做是这个社会上多余的人,是不应该存在的人。而在这部故事集里的个别作品,也被人们看做是作者在向那个罪恶的社会,和为富不仁的富人们的宣战,呼吁人们去改善这个残酷现实的倡议书。喜欢狄更斯作品的朋友还可以收听:狄更斯三部小说、Tale_of_Two_Cities_双城记。

作为笔调轻松、文笔优美、诙谐有趣的自然历史书籍之一,《贝格尔号航行日记》记述了查尔斯·达尔文于1831年至1836年间经南美洲、加拉帕戈斯群岛、澳洲重返英格兰的旅程,此次旅行加深了他对生物学的理解,丰富和发展了他的进化论观点。在达尔文的笔下,他的那些冒险经历,诸如火地岛遭遇“野人”、在巴塔哥尼亚偶食生禽,以及试图骑上晃晃悠悠的巴塔哥尼亚乌龟的努力都一一生动地跃然纸上,描绘得栩栩如生。
