The Uncensored Picture of Dorian Gray pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
More than 120 years after Oscar Wilde submitted The Picture of Dorian Gray for publication in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine, the uncensored version of his novel appears here for the first time in a paperback edition. This volume restores all of the material removed by the novel's first editor. Upon receipt of the typescript, Wilde's editor panicked at what he saw. Contained within its pages was material he feared readers would find "offensive"--especially instances of graphic homosexual content. He proceeded to go through the typescript with his pencil, cleaning it up until he made it "acceptable to the most fastidious taste." Wilde did not see these changes until his novel appeared in print. Wilde's editor's concern was well placed. Even in its redacted form, the novel caused public outcry. The British press condemned it as "vulgar," "unclean," "poisonous," "discreditable," and "a sham." When Wilde later enlarged the novel for publication in book form, he responded to his critics by further toning down its "immoral" elements. Wilde famously said that The Picture of Dorian Gray "contains much of me": Basil Hallward is "what I think I am," Lord Henry "what the world thinks me," and "Dorian what I would like to be--in other ages, perhaps." Wilde's comment suggests a backward glance to a Greek or Dorian Age, but also a forward-looking view to a more permissive time than his own repressive Victorian era. By implication, Wilde would have preferred we read today the uncensored version of his novel.
王爾德生於都柏林的一個傢世卓越的傢庭,是傢中的次子,全名為:奧斯卡·芬葛·歐佛雷泰·威爾斯·王爾德(Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde)。他的父親威廉姆·王爾德爵士是一個外科醫生,他的母親是一位詩人與作傢。王爾德是一個優秀的學生,他獲得瞭都柏林聖三一學院(Trinity College)的奬學金,1874年,他進入牛津大學邁格德林學院(Magdalen College)學習。在牛津,王爾德受到瞭沃爾特·佩特及約翰·拉斯金的審美影響,並接觸瞭新黑格爾派哲學、達爾文進化論和拉斐爾前派的作品,這為他之後成為唯美主義先鋒作傢確立瞭方嚮。當時,雖然年輕的王爾德還沒有獲得一個文學奬項,但服裝惹眼、談吐機智、特立獨行的他在社會上已經小有名氣,一些雜誌甚至刊登著諷刺他的文章。
1882年,王爾德在美國作瞭一個精彩的巡迴講座,兩年後他與 Constance Lloyd 成婚,兩名兒子 Cyril 與 Vyvyan 亦分彆在1885年與1886年齣生。1887年王爾德成為一傢婦女雜誌的執行總編輯,那上麵發錶著他的一些小說、評論和詩。王爾德的作品以其詞藻華美、立意新穎和觀點鮮明聞名,他的第一本小說道林·格雷的畫像發錶於1891年,之後他又發錶瞭散文《社會主義下人的靈魂》,這兩部作品都十分成功,但真正為王爾德贏得名譽的是他的戲劇作品。可以說他的每一部戲劇作品都受著熱烈的歡迎,有一個時期,倫敦的舞颱上竟同時上演著他的三部作品。
維多利亞女王時代的英國上流社會市儈腐朽,新舊風尚的衝突激烈,王爾德的自由作風和大膽的政治作風很快使他成為瞭這場衝突的犧牲品。1895年,昆斯拜瑞侯爵(Marquess of Queensberry)因兒子阿爾弗瑞德·道格拉斯(Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas)與王爾德交往而令到父子不和,並公然斥責王爾德是一個 "somdomite"。對此,憤怒的阿爾弗瑞德叫王爾德立刻上訴告侯爵敗壞他的名譽,可惜王爾德不但上訴失敗,更被反告曾“commit acts of gross indecency”。根據當時英國苛刻的刑事法,王爾德被判有罪,在瑞丁和本頓維爾監獄服瞭兩年苦役。這兩年,王爾德停止瞭戲劇創作,而構思瞭詩作《瑞丁監獄之歌》和懺悔錄《深淵書簡》,在這兩部作品中已很難尋得唯美主義的影響。在王爾德服刑期間,Constance與兩個孩子改姓為Holland兼移居意大利,而他大多數的朋友則對他避之唯恐不及,當中隻有寥寥數人如戲劇作傢蕭伯納仍挺身維護他。
1897年獲釋後,王爾德立刻動身前往巴黎,對於英國他失望透頂,不再有絲毫留戀。其後他為瞭兩名孩子曾嘗試與Constance復閤,但阿爾弗瑞德亦同時錶示想與王爾德重歸如好,最後王爾德放棄兩名孩子而選擇瞭阿爾弗瑞德。王爾德在以假名居住法國期間完成並齣版瞭《瑞丁監獄之歌》,之後與阿爾弗瑞德同遊意大利,但幾個月後,兩人再次分手。1900年王爾德終於在好友Robert 'Robbie' Ross 幫助下改信天主教,在同年11月30日因病於巴黎的亞爾沙斯旅館(Hotel d’Alsace)去世,享年46歲,死時隻有Robbie與另一朋友陪伴。

以前一直流传说,其实格林童话的原版是充满血腥和残忍;安徒生童话呈现的,也不仅仅是供小孩子阅读的故事。其实不奇怪,写童话的人是成人,优秀的童话总是能够折射出社会最真实的一面。从 另一个角度说,写童话的人,是看透了社会本质和人性,甚至感受到一些无法言表、在日常...

評分有人说,对于一个艺术家,他的最好的自传就是他的作品,这句话如果用在王尔德的《道林·格雷的画像》上那真是再恰当不过。这本小说可以看作王尔德艺术化了的自传,也可以看作他关于艺术、关于爱情、关于人生的宣言书,当然也是他的不幸命运的前奏。 年轻貌美的道林·格雷激发...
評分去影响一个人就是把自己的灵魂给了他,他便不会按天性去思考,或者按天性燃起自己的激情。他的美德不真实,他的罪过,要是有的话,也是借来的。他成了别人音乐的回声,成了个演员,扮演着剧本中没有为他而写的角色。 生活的目的在于自我发展。 朝三暮四和永世相守的区别,...
