William Stoner is born at the end of the nineteenth century into a dirt-poor Missouri farming family. Sent to the state university to study agronomy, he instead falls in love with English literature and embraces a scholar’s life, so different from the hardscrabble existence he has known.
And yet as the years pass, Stoner encounters a succession of disappointments: marriage into a “proper” family estranges him from his parents; his career is stymied; his wife and daughter turn coldly away from him; a transforming experience of new love ends under threat of scandal. Driven ever deeper within himself, Stoner rediscovers the stoic silence of his forebears and confronts an essential solitude.
John Williams's luminous and deeply moving novel is a work of quiet perfection. William Stoner emerges from it not only as an archetypal American, but as an unlikely existential hero, standing, like a figure in a painting by Edward Hopper, in stark relief against an unforgiving world.
John Williams was born on August 29, 1922 in Clarksville, Texas. He served in the United States Army Air Force from 1942 to 1945 in China, Burma and India. The Swallow Press published his first novel, Nothing But the Night, in 1948, as well as his first book of poems, The Broken Landscape, in 1949. Macmillan published Williams' second novel, Butcher's Crossing, in 1960. After recieving his B.A. and M.A. from the University of Denver, and his Ph.D from the University of Missouri, Williams returned in 1954 to the University of Denver where he taught literature and the craft of writing for thirty years. In 1963 Williams received a fellowship to study at Oxford University where where he received a Rockefeller grant enabling him to travel and research in Italy for his last novel, Augustus, published in 1972. John Williams died in Arkansas on March 4, 1994.
看荒野偵探覺得楊嚮榮是一位很靠譜的譯者 然而斯通納裏邊齣現的很多低級錯誤是高中生都不會犯的 還是要吹一下中文版的封麵設計 六本文學著作摘齣六個字母拼成Stoner 每次隻要一看見就各種共鳴(你共鳴個JB)+情緒翻湧 而且書殼竟然有六種顔色 忍不住有種再買五本的衝動 可是認清現實吧 你不過是個窮鬼
評分我想,好的小說是每位讀者都能從主人公身上找到自己的影子。《斯通納》就是這樣的小說,主人公斯通納就是那位像鏡子一般幫助讀者照見自我的人。他是一個普通得不能再普通的男人,沒有俗世意義上的功成名就,卻終其一生都不曾放棄對理想的追求和對信念的堅守。有時候,平凡與偉大之間,並無深淵巨壑。
評分(Reminds me of Russell's) Knowledge & Love & (pity for) human suffering. Still think he should have done more for his daughter.
評分不會再有一本書有這麼俗的作者名字這麼平淡的故事但讀的時候讓人放不下來看完瞭以後難受瞭好幾天. 是不是因為我們太習慣瞭英雄傳奇高潮迭起反而會忘瞭大部分人的生活就隻是這樣追求自己想要的 然後失去得到 在大事件裏起起伏伏 活著沒啥死瞭也沒啥人知道. 但有多少人能像他一樣執著追求乃至到最後無欲無求...

評分人类至今其实没什么进步。尤其情感方面,对生死爱恨的感觉,对荒诞命运的感觉,嫉妒、贪婪、荣誉感和挫败感,几千年未变。文学的变迁只是在这些情感中陆续突出其一二。比如浪漫的、骑士的、壮丽的、颓废的、放荡的、失意的和诗意的等等。《斯通纳》在沉寂五十年之后风行世界,...
評分库布里克在谈论他的电影《巴里•林登》的原著小说时说,在这部“没有英雄的小说”里,巴里•林登是一个很真实的角色,他既不是传统意义上的英雄,也不是传统意义上的反角……在我看来,这段评语放在斯通纳身上也是贴切的。 斯通纳的一生是平淡无奇的,学业、工作和婚姻都...
