PAGE 【导读】　《远离尘嚣》(Far from the Madding Crowd)发表于1874年，是英国最伟大的小说家之一托马斯·哈代的第一部成功的长篇小说，也是他此后一系列以威赛克斯乡村为背景的优秀长篇小说中的第一部。这些小说包括《还乡》、《卡斯特桥市长》、《德伯家的苔丝》以及《无名的裘德》。 Far from the Madding Crowd (excerpt) Chapter 17 Farmer Boldwood begins to hope When Troy did not return，Bathsheba felt neither happiness nor sadness.She had no hope for the future.She was sure that one day he would return，and spend the rest of her money.Then they would have to sell the farm.She could do nothing to prevent it.
