具体描述
Not since Wild Swans has Chinese history been so intimately encountered - through the stories of four sisters born between 1907 and 1914, a renowned historian examines a century of extraordinary change in Chinese culture and in women's lives. Now in their late eighties and early nineties, the four Chang sisters lived through a century of historic change in China. In this extraordinary work, assembled with the benefit of letters, diaries, family histories, poetry, journals and interviews, Annping Chin shapes the story of one family into a riveting chronicle that provides a unique insight into the old China and its transition into the new. From their father, the Chang sisters inherited reason and a belief in the virtues of modern education. From their mother they learned about the human spirit and the art of finding an appropriate path. The nurse-nannies - uneducated widows from the Hofei countryside - contributed their own opinions on modern ways. As the sisters grow up, one breaks with tradition to marry an actor, another marries one of China's greatest novelists; another, raised by her devout Buddhist grandaunt, is taught to be a rigorous practitioner of China's classical arts. The Chang sisters' prolific correspondence provides an intimate glimpse of private life, as well as a chronicle of the developments of the twentieth century, from prosperity to persecution, from foreign wars to Cultural Revolution. Four Sisters of Hofei is an intensely personal and sweeping story that illustrates the complex history of a complex culture.

评分无疑，“合肥四姐妹”是一个很能引人注意的书名。瞧见的读者或许会联想到前些年的几本书《小姐集》、《上海的金枝玉叶》等等，或许还会有人记起被誉为“上海女人指南”的《长恨歌》。不过，书翻了近一半，却不由得地怀疑自己捧错了书。细细想来，如此奇异的阅读体验，还拜这个...
评分■文/小約 這本書看過好長時間了，一直放一直放，放到有一天想寫的時候。那種時間，你已經不可能記得很清楚了，像昆德拉說的，面對毀壞性的遺忘，閱讀者只有選擇永遠不住進去。博爾赫斯優雅自負地說：「我讀了很多關於《麥克白》的文章，也忘了不少」，一句話打發一...
