Told with humor and compassion, Deerbrook prefigures the later Victorian novels of Elizabeth Gaskell, the Brontës, and George Eliot. When the Ibbotson sisters, Hester and Margaret, arrive at the village of Deerbrook to stay with their cousin Mr. Grey and his wife, speculation is rife that one of them might marry the local apothecary, Edward Hope. Although he is immediately attracted to Margaret, Hope is ultimately persuaded to marry the beautiful Hester and becomes trapped in an unhappy marriage. His troubles are compounded when a malicious village gossip accuses Hope of grave-robbing, threatening his career. A powerful exploration of the nature of ignorance and prejudice, Deerbrook also may be regarded as one of the first Victorian novels of English domestic life.

本书共收录了李沧东的小说处女作《战利品》及其他短篇小说共十一篇。这些作品都是以城市边缘人和小人物为关注点，聚焦于两类题材，一类是朝鲜战争及南北分裂、光州事件等社会现实所造成的伤痛，一类是韩国社会工业化发展进程中的社会问题。他的小说不以大事件为线索，而往往围绕着生活的细节，如两代人之间的鸿沟、夫妻之间或婆媳之间的家庭矛盾、大巴车上的风波等等，他拙朴的笔触下隐藏的是这些细小的事件背后巨大的悲剧感。他的作品有一种逼真的写实感，如同他的电影那样深刻地刻画人与人之间的关系，寻找被生活隐藏的真实。 无论是电影叙事，还是小说叙事，李沧东手中都握着一把极为锐利的手术刀，他深层剖开韩国现代社会中普通人的生
