汤姆为了财富与魔鬼进行了罪恶的交易,从此“魔鬼和汤姆·沃克”成为新英格兰广为流传的俗语。
这个小故事的主人公汤姆胆大却吝啬,无意中遇到了魔鬼,便深得魔鬼喜爱,得到了一大笔财产,却要终身为魔鬼做事,于是,本来穷困潦倒的汤姆变成了无情冷血的高利贷商,一生无法得到救赎,最后被魔鬼索命。故事悬念叠起,非常引人入胜。
"The Devil and Tom Walker" is a short story by Washington Irving that first appeared in his 1824 collection of stories titled Tales of a Traveller,[1] as part of the "Money-Diggers" section. The story is very similar to that of the ancient German legend of Faust.Stephen Vincent Benét drew much of his inspiration for "The Devil and Daniel Webster" from this tale.
