Winner of the 1982 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. This third novel in Updike's Rabbit series finds Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, a one-time high school basketball star, has reached a paunchy middle-age without straying from Brewer, Pennsylvania, the downtrodden, fictional city of his birth. Harry and Janice, his wife of twenty-two years, live comfortably, having inherited her late father's Toyota dealership. He is indeed rich, but Harry's persistent problems, including his wife's drinking, his troubled son's schemes, his libido, and spectres from his past, complicate life. Having achieved a lifestyle that would have embarrassed his working-class parents, Harry is not greedy, but neither is he ever quite satisfied. Harry nurses a crush on a country-club friend's young wife, dangerously seeking approval. Nevertheless he is unable to read the warning signs.

Be brave in the face of the unknown. Be always fair.” -Natty Bumppo, The Deerslayer One of the greatest heroes in American literature, Natty Bumppo is the rugged frontiersman of James Fenimore Cooper’s Leatherstocking Tales, a series of five novels that includes The Last of the Mohicans and The Deerslayer. Although the final volume to be written, The Deerslayer is the first in the chronology of Natty Bumppo’s life, depicting the character as a young man testing himself in the wilderness, and against enemies, for the first time. Set in the 1740’s just as the French and Indian wars have begun, the novel opens as Natty Bumppo—known as Deerslayer—and his friend Hurry Harry travel to Tom Hutter’s house in upstate New York. Hurry plans to marry Tom’s beautiful daughter Judith, while Deerslayer has come to help his close friend Chingachgook save his bride-to-be, Wah-ta-Wah, from the Huron Indians. When war breaks out, and Hurry and Tom are captured by Indians, Deerslayer must go on his first warpath to rescue them. One of the earliest novels to be considered truly “American," The Deerslayer is a masterpiece of suspense, adventure, and romance.   Bruce L. R. Smith is a fellow at the Heyman Center for the Humanities at Columbia University. He is the author or editor of sixteen scholarly books, and he continues to lecture widely in the United States and abroad.

本书故事发生1867年的英国。富家子弟、化石学业余爱好者查尔斯·斯密森增小镇莱姆会见已经与他订婚的欧内斯蒂娜·弗里曼小姐，在海边，他遇见被人们称为“法国中尉的女人”的萨拉·伍德拉夫。据说这个女子“很堕落”，然而她身上那种极富女性魅力的特殊气质使查尔斯倾倒；他热烈追求萨拉，导致他与欧内斯蒂娜·弗里曼的婚约被解除，不过萨拉虽然好不容易找到她时，她却已经在一位名人的保护之下，成了一个强调自由和男女平等的“新女性”。约翰·福尔斯在小说中批评了英国维多利亚时代社会的发展不平衡、科技进步没有造福于大多数人民等种种弊端，尤其猛烈抨击了当时社会道德意识上的守旧和虚伪，人们没有自由，相互之间缺乏理解，因此本书具有深刻的社会意义。这部作品创作手法上的两大特点引人注目：一是在叙述过程中作者插入各种议论；二是作者为故事设计了三个不同的结尾，他认为这样更接近生活的真实。
