Doctor Marigold is a poor hawker

When Tarzan ventured northward into the remote and trackless backlands of ancient Abyssinia, it may have been only the lure of mystery that drew him---or the secrets those unmapped valleys have guarded from time immemorial. It was in one such unknown valley that a strange white warrior in ivory armor led Tarzan to the luxurious court of the most beautiful woman in the world (!), to the arena and the lion pit, and to the intrigues and perils of a forgotten barbarian kingdom.

女主人公游苔莎高傲、耽于空想，她嫁给在巴黎当过钻石商店经理的青年克林·姚伯，希望他带着自己离开荒原，但未能如愿。在发生了一连串误会和不幸事件后，她在黑夜出走，失足溺水身亡。而姚伯回乡想为乡里谋福利，却得不到人们谅解与支持，最后做了传教士。《还乡》以男主人公回归故乡为契机展开，但女主人公游苔莎却是作家着墨更多的人物。由于她对繁华世界梦寐以求、对爱情婚姻朝秦暮楚，因此被视为轻浮虚荣女子的典型。她美丽聪颖，富有艺术气质，特立独行，勇于冒险和追求，同时又深怀运蹇命乖、遇人不淑的忧思和哀怨，荒原人视她为女巫，姚伯太太称她为坏女人，连克林·姚伯也以局限的眼光褒贬她；她明艳夺目，像女神般尊贵超凡，与利他、克己、圣者型的姚伯相比，游苔莎是利己、享乐的，是一尊具有凡人七情六欲的异教女神。她有“现代人”的烦恼、叛逆与追求，有对未来向往、追求、困惑和希望的幻灭。《还乡》反映了工业资本侵入农村宗法制社会后产生的种种矛盾。

TRANSLATED BY C. W. BELL M. A. We are at the beginning of a new era which will, it is to be hoped, be marked by a general rapprochement between the nations. The need to know and understand one another is being felt more and more. It follows that the study of foreign languages will assume an ever- increasing importance; indeed, so far as language, literature, and music are concerned, one may safely assert that fas est et ab hoste doceri. All those who wish to make acquaintance with the speech of their neighbours, or who have allowed their former knowledge to grow rusty, will welcome this edition, which will enable them, independently of bulky dictionaries, to devote to language study the moments of leisure which offer themselves in the course of the day. The texts have been selected from the double point of view of their literary worth and of the usefulness of their vocabulary; in the translations, also, the endeavour has been to unite qualities of style with strict fidelity to the original.
