《馬拉沃利亞》
1907年版扉頁
作者：喬瓦尼·維爾加
《馬拉沃利亞》（義大利語發音：[i malaˈvɔʎʎa]）是喬瓦尼·維爾加最著名的小說。該小說於1881年首次出版。
背景
1874年出版的短篇小說《內達》廣受讀者好評，促使他創作了一部名為《帕德龍恩托尼》的「海景小說」。在一封日期為1875年9月的信中，維爾加告知出版商特里夫斯，他即將完成一部新小說，很快就會收到。然而，六年後，《帕德龍恩托尼》被改編成一部名為《馬拉沃利亞》的長篇小說。在寫給友人薩爾瓦托雷·保羅·維爾杜拉的信中，維爾加表示，《馬拉沃利亞》是五部敘事作品《葡萄酒之環》的第一部，這部作品「描繪了從拾荒者到牧師再到藝術家的生存鬥爭的幻影」。 [1]
該系列的其他作品包括《傑蘇阿爾多的主人》、《萊拉公爵夫人》、《西皮奧尼的女子》和《盧索的男人》，這些作品探討了社會和經濟進步的問題。 《萊拉公爵夫人》當時還只是草稿，而計畫為《葡萄酒之環》創作的最後兩本小說《西皮奧尼的女子》和《盧索的男人》甚至還沒開始創作。

I Malavoglia (Italian pronunciation: [i malaˈvɔʎʎa]) is the best known novel by Giovanni Verga. It was first printed in 1881.
Background
The readers' good reception of the short story Nedda, published in 1874, encouraged the project of a "sea sketch" entitled Padron 'Ntoni. In a letter dated September 1875, Verga informs the publisher Treves that he has almost finished a new story and he will receive it soon. Six years would pass instead: Padron 'Ntoni would be transformed into a novel, entitled I Malavoglia. In a letter to his friend Salvatore Paolo Verdura, Verga states that I Malavoglia is the first in a cycle of five narrative works, the Ciclo dei Vinti, a "phantasmagoria of the struggle for life, which extends from the ragman to the minister and the artist".[1]
The other works of the cycle are Mastro-don Gesualdo, La Duchessa di Leyra, L'Onorevole Scipioni and L'uomo di lusso, works which deal with the problem of social and economical advancement. La Duchessa de Leyra remained only a draft, while the last two novels planned for the Ciclo, L'Onorevole Scipioni and L'Uomo di Lusso, were not even started.
劇情
托斯卡諾一家住在卡塔尼亞省的阿奇特雷扎村，他們雖然極其勤勞，卻被戲稱為“懶人”（Malavoglia，意為“懶惰者”）。一家之主是帕德隆·恩托尼，一位鰥夫，與兒子巴斯蒂安（Bastianazzo）和妻子瑪麗亞（暱稱“長公主”，儘管個子不高）住在榧樹旁的房子裡。巴斯提安有五個孩子：恩托尼、盧卡、菲洛梅娜（Mena）、阿萊西奧（Alessio）和羅莎莉亞（Lia）。他們的主要收入來源是一艘名為「普羅維登斯號」（la Provvidenza）的小漁船。 1863年，長子恩托尼去參軍。為了彌補缺席帶來的收入損失，帕德隆恩托尼嘗試了一項商業冒險，買了大量羽扇豆。他把貨物委託給兒子巴斯蒂亞納佐，計劃在里波斯托出售賺取利潤。然而，巴斯蒂亞納佐和貨物在一場暴風雨中不幸失蹤。在這場不幸之後，這個家庭陷入了三重困境：賒購羽扇豆所欠下的債務、需要修復的普羅維登斯，以及失去家中重要且受人愛戴的成員巴斯蒂亞納佐。服完兵役後，恩托尼非常不情願地回到了辛勤勞作的家庭生活中，因為他看到了小村莊外的富足和輝煌，而他卻無法為本已岌岌可危的家庭經濟狀況提供任何支持。
這個家庭的不幸遠未結束。帕德隆·恩托尼的孫子盧卡在利薩戰役中陣亡，導致梅納與布拉西·西波拉的婚約終止。羽扇豆種植園的債務使這家人失去了他們摯愛的「內斯波羅之家」（Casa del Nespolo）——那棟位於椴樹旁的房子，家族的聲譽也逐漸惡化，最終陷入了令人羞辱的貧困境地。普羅維登斯莊園的再次損毀使帕德隆恩托尼瀕臨死亡，但幸運的是，他最終康復了。後來，他的媳婦瑪魯札死於霍亂。長子恩托尼決定離開村莊去闖蕩，卻最後一貧如洗地歸來。他失去了工作的熱情，開始酗酒和遊手好閒。恩托尼的離去迫使這家人賣掉了普羅維登斯莊園，以籌集資金來收回那座從未被遺忘的內斯波羅之家。
酒館老闆桑圖扎早已被鯊魚般的唐米歇爾垂涎，她也對恩托尼一見傾心，在酒館裡免費招待他。恩托尼的言行舉止和父親的哀悼使她最終對恩托尼產生了感情，回到了唐米歇爾身邊。這導致了兩人之間的一場爭吵；最終，在一次反走私行動中，恩托尼刺傷了唐·米歇爾的胸部。恩托尼最終釩鐺入獄。在審判中，帕德隆恩托尼聽到了唐米歇爾和孫女莉亞之間關係的傳聞，昏倒在地。如今，他已老去，說話斷斷續續，背誦諺語卻渾然不知。妹妹莉亞成了村裡流言蜚語的受害者，離家出走，淪為妓女。梅娜因為姊姊的不幸遭遇，覺得自己無法嫁給阿爾菲奧，即使他們彼此相愛，她也只能留在家中照顧阿萊西和努齊亞塔的孩子。阿萊西是兄弟中最小的，他一直以捕魚為生，靠著辛勤的勞動，努力重建家業，最終買下了榧樹旁的房子。買下房子後，家裡剩下的人來到老帕德龍恩托尼所在的醫院，告訴他好消息，並宣布他即將回家。這是老人最後的幸福時刻，他在本來要回家的那天過世了。就連他想在出生的房子裡安息的願望也未能實現。當恩托尼出獄回到村子後，他意識到自己不能再留下來，因為他所做的一切。他有系統地批判家人的價值觀，將自己與家人疏遠了。
Plot
In the village of Aci Trezza in the Province of Catania lives the Toscano family, who, although extremely hardworking, has been nicknamed (for antiphrasis) the Malavoglia ("The Lazy Ones"). The head of the family is Padron Ntoni, a widower, who lives at the house by the medlar tree with his son Bastian (called Bastianazzo), and the wife of the latter called Maria (nicknamed Maruzza la Longa, despite being anything but tall). Bastian has five children: Ntoni, Luca, Filomena (Mena), Alessio (called Alessi) and Rosalia (Lia). The main source of income is la Provvidenza (the Providence), which is a small fishing boat. In 1863, Ntoni, the eldest of the children, leaves for the military service. To try to make up for the loss of income which his absence will cause, Padron Ntoni attempts a business venture and buys a large amount of lupins. The load is entrusted to his son Bastianazzo, the plan being to sell them in Riposto to make a profit. However, Bastianazzo and the merchandise are tragically lost during a storm. Following this misfortune, the family finds themselves with a triple misfortune: the debt caused by the lupins which were bought on credit, the Providence to repair, and the loss of Bastianazzo, an important and loved member of the family. Having finished his military service, Ntoni returns to the laborious life of his family very reluctantly, having seen the riches and splendour outside his small village, and does not represent any support to the already precarious economic situation of his family.
The family's misfortunes are far from over. Luca, one of Padron Ntoni's grandsons, dies at the battle of Lissa, which leads to the breaking off of the betrothal of Mena to Brasi Cipolla. The debt from the lupin venture causes the family to lose their beloved "Casa del Nespolo" – the house by the medlar tree, and gradually the reputation of the family worsens until they reach humiliating levels of poverty. A further wreck of the Providence leaves Padron Ntoni near death, although fortunately he manages to recover. Later Maruzza, his daughter-in-law, dies of cholera. The firstborn, Ntoni, decides to go away from the village to seek his fortune, only to return destitute. He loses any desire to work, turning to alcoholism and idleness. The departure of Ntoni had forced the family to sell the Providence to get the money needed to get back the Casa del Nespolo, which had never been forgotten.
The mistress of the osteria, Santuzza, who is already coveted by the sharkish Don Michele, becomes infatuated with Ntoni, serving him for free in the tavern. The conduct of Ntoni and the lamentations of her father convince her to turn her emotions from him, and to return to Don Michele. This leads to a brawl between the two; a brawl that results in the stabbing of Don Michele in the chest by Ntoni during an anti-smuggling raid. Ntoni ends up in prison. At his trial, after hearing rumours about a relationship between Don Michele and his granddaughter Lia, Padron Ntoni passes out and falls to the ground. Now old, his conversation is disjointed and he recites his proverbs without much awareness of what is going on. Lia, the younger sister, becomes the victim of vicious village gossip, runs away and becomes a prostitute. Mena, because of the shameful situation of her sister, feels that she cannot marry Alfio, even though they love each other, and instead remains at home to care for Alessi and Nunziata's children. Alessi, the youngest of the brothers, has remained a fisherman and with hard work manages to rebuild the family fortunes to the point at which they can repurchase the house by the medlar tree. Having bought the house, what is left of the family visits the hospital where the old Padron Ntoni is being kept, to inform him of the good news and to announce his imminent return home. It is the last moment of happiness for the old man, who dies on the day he was to return. Even his desire to die in the house where was born is never granted. When Ntoni is released from prison and comes back to the village, he realises that he cannot stay because of all that he has done. He has excluded himself from his family by systematically denouncing their values.
