Staring unflinchingly into the abyss of slavery, this spellbinding novel transforms history into a story as powerful as Exodus and as intimate as a lullaby.
Sethe was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. She has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. Her new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved.
Filled with bitter poetry and suspense as taut as a rope, Beloved is a towering achievement by Nobel Prize laureate Toni Morrison.
Toni Morrison (born Chloe Anthony Wofford), is an American author, editor, and professor who won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Literature for being an author "who in novels characterized by visionary force and poetic import, gives life to an essential aspect of American reality."
Her novels are known for their epic themes, vivid dialogue, and richly detailed African American characters; among the best known are her novels The Bluest Eye, Song of Solomon, and Beloved, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1988. In 2001 she was named one of "The 30 Most Powerful Women in America" by Ladies' Home Journal.
《寵兒》,從圖書館借來原版書籍,讀來相當艱澀。 作為一個黑人作家,又是女作家,Toni Morrison本身就具有了太多文學書寫契機。看了英文版導讀的前言,翻譯者雷格和潘岳對Toni Morrison的推薦讓我忍不住想對《寵兒》這個奇特的故事以及背後的故事再深探求。 也許,Morriso...
评分(你干嘛管自己叫宠儿? 在黑暗中我的名字就叫宠儿。 那边什么样儿,你过去待的地方?能告诉我吗? 漆黑。在那里我很小,就象这个样子。(把头从床沿上抬起来,侧身躺下,蜷成一团。) 你在那儿冷吗? 滚热。下边那儿没法呼吸,也没地方待。 告诉我,你是怎么来这儿的? ...
评分这书是很久以前的某个情人节买给自己的礼物,一直没有看完。看了前半部,觉得心惊。夜里做梦竟出现河流飘尸的场景。出逃路上生孩子那段太深刻了,好久以后的我,呵呵,决心读完它。
评分 评分对着满架的书, 钵子推荐我看这本<宠儿>. 在豆瓣上看简介, 似乎是 一个离奇的故事,描述母亲之爱的. 初看时有相当程度的痛苦, 因为书中极个人角度的表述, 以及完全陌 生的情境,把阅读者抛到了一个很陌生无助的境地. 若不是那么多人说 ,要坚持读下去, 我或许也会在开头的时候...
反正我是当鬼故事来读的⋯⋯
评分宠儿。。。。。。
评分my midterm close reading on this sucked T T, i should have given myself way more time to do it
评分Toni Morrison第三發。總是讓人感到無盡的sweet sad。在瘋狂、殘忍、非理性,甚至非人性中,尋找最人性的部分。想起Byatt的評論:現實可以很殘忍很荒誕,但寫作者可以懷有愛和人性的理解。
评分11月11日去#宏村#时开始读的,回来又放下继续完成前面那本书。这是一部非常复杂的作品,不仅有复杂的情节,而且有复杂的过去与现在,复杂的外在与内在,背负着这样的过去,如何迈向未来。爱与恨的循环往复。
