Lively and mischievous, idle and brave, Tom Brown is both the typical boy of his time and the perennial hero celebrated by authors as diverse as Henry Fielding (in Tom Jones) and Alec Waugh (in The Loom of Youth). The book describes Tom's time at Rugby School from his first football match, through his troubled adolescence when he is savagely bullied by the unspeakable Flashman, to his departure for a wider world as a confident young man. This classic tale of a boy's schooldays under the benevolent eye of the renowned Dr Arnold still retains the appeal for which it was acclaimed on its first publication in 1857. In its less well-known sequel, Tom Brown at Oxford, we follow our hero to St Ambrose's College, and, in sharing his undergraduate experiences, gain a vivid impression of university life in the mid nineteenth century. 《湯姆·布朗的求學(xué)時(shí)代》是托馬斯·休斯第一部作品,也是他最有影響的作品。此書在1857年出版以后,曾大量再版,是英國(guó)學(xué)童十分喜愛(ài)的少年文藝讀物,在美國(guó)青年中也有一定影響?!稖?布朗的求學(xué)時(shí)代》以作者早年在拉格比公學(xué)求學(xué)時(shí)代為背景,通過(guò)湯姆和另外幾個(gè)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)生活,生動(dòng)描述了學(xué)校的情景,真實(shí)反映了學(xué)生的思想。拉格比公學(xué)是維多利亞女王時(shí)代最有影響的公學(xué)之一。當(dāng)時(shí)的公學(xué)...Lively and mischievous, idle and brave, Tom Brown is both the typical boy of his time and the perennial hero celebrated by authors as diverse as Henry Fielding (in Tom Jones) and Alec Waugh (in The Loom of Youth).
