FOR

LOVE

ALONE

CHRISTINA STEAD

充斥著上流社會雍容華貴的雪梨，以及陰鬱黑暗令人沮喪的倫敦，在兩座城市為背景的襯托之下，本作描寫的是泰瑞莎．霍金斯的切身故事；有著高尚情操、熱情且獨立，全心奉行「汝當愛」的唯一戒律，執迷於愛以及自身的命運，泰瑞莎毅然決然拋下雪梨那平淡無味的生活，啟程踏上她那「崇高卻艱險的旅程」。繼之以自我追尋、睥睨一切的強納森．克羅，對此，史黛德呈現給讀者是，一個令人難以忘懷，關於厭女症的深刻描寫。而當泰瑞莎抵達倫敦，這個她命定歸屬的城市；在此，泰瑞莎結識了詹姆士．奎克，並且發現了另一種形式的愛，以及身為女性所具備的力量。

Against a background of two cities - Sydney, thick with genteel sweat; and London, grim, dark and depressed - For Love Alone tells the story of Teresa Hawkins, high minded, passionate and independent, who knows only one commandment: "Thou Shalt Love." "Obsessed by love and a sense of her own destiny, Teresa turns her back on Sydney and its suburban horizons, and sets off on her 'grand, perilous journey'. Following the self-seeking and contemptuous Jonathon Crow, whom Stead gives to us here in an unforgettable portrait of misogyny, Teresa arrives in London to a world in which she does indeed seem fated to belong. There she meets James Quick and discovers another form of love, and her own power as a woman.

Christina Stead (1902–1983) was an Australian writer regarded as one of the twentieth century's master novelists. Stead spent most of her writing life in Europe and the United States, and her varied residences acted as the settings for a number of her novels. She is best known for The Man Who Loved Children (1940), which was praised by author Jonathan Franzen as a "crazy, gorgeous family novel" and "one of the great literary achievements of the twentieth century." Stead died in her native Australia in 1983.
