亨利·詹姆斯(1843—1916),现代小说大师,世界文学史上最重要的小说家之一。他出身于纽约上层知识分子家庭,父亲和兄长均是著名学者和哲学家。他从小接受良好的教育,大学毕业后,便长期旅居欧洲,对19世纪末美国和欧洲的上层生活有细致入微的观察。古老保守的欧洲和年轻质朴的美国这两种不同文化和价值体系间的冲突是他诸多作品的重要主题之一。他的小说风格独特,语言精妙,技巧娴熟,他还是心理小说创始人。詹姆斯一生创作了许多作品,其中最具代表性的有《黛西·米勒》、《一位女士的画像》,《螺丝在拧紧》、《鸽翼》、《使节》、《金碗》等。
Daisy Miller is one of Henry James's most attractive heroines: she represents youth and frivolity. As a tourist in Italy, her American freedom and freshness of spirit come up against the corruption and hypocrisy of European manners. From its first publication, readers on both sides of the Atlantic have quarrelled about her, defending or attacking the liberties that Daisy takes and the conventions that she ignores. All three tales in this collection, Daisy Miller, An International Episode and Lady Barbarina, express James's most notable subject, 'the international theme', the encounters, romantic and cultural, between Americans and Europeans. His heroes and heroines approach each other on unfamiliar ground with new freedoms, yet find themselves unexpectedly hampered by old constraints. In An International Episode, an English lord visiting Newport, Rhode Island, falls in love with an American girl, but their relationship becomes more complicated when she travels to London. In the light-hearted comedy Lady Barbarina, a rich young American seeks an English aristocratic bride. The unusual outcomes of these three tales pose a number of social questions about marriage and the traditional roles of men and women. Is an international marriage symbolic of the highest cultural fusion of values or is it an old style raid and capture? Is marriage to remain the feminine destination?
故事中的男女主角的性格,和他们之间的结局其实已经可以从他们的名字看得出来。Daisy-四月的花朵,属于春天、向阳、活力十足,而且纯洁、天真,是少女和青春的象征;而Winterbourne则让人联想到冷冰冰的冬天,干秃秃的树枝,一片死寂,了无生气。雏菊是无法在冬天生长的,正如...
评分1)在我今年接触的一些小说中,亨利·詹姆斯的《丛林猛兽》是最为晃眼的一则,从中散出的光束,迷离而生猛,长期束缚着我,以至在我阅读其他作品时,难免提心吊胆起来,生怕哪一处的字里行间,会有一种类似的猛兽埋伏着,而这兽类,又必会与我眼光相触的一刹,生生跳入我的脑中...
评分她在这个世界上行走从不束手束脚。她走自己要走的路。 对戴西米勒小姐而言,绽放是她的关键词。她要尽一切努力享受生命的愉悦。她不在意那些在她背后指指点点的目光,她也不在乎城里蔓延的瘟疫。人生总是有危险,坐在家里并且恪守所有人的准则似乎是最让那群围观者满意的做法。...
