William Wymark Jacobs (September 8, 1863 – September 1, 1943), was an English author of short stories and novels. He is now best remembered for his macabre tales "The Monkey's Paw" (published 1902) and "The Toll House" (in the collection of short stories The Lady of the Barge). However the majority of his output was humorous in tone. His favourite subjects were marine life: "men who go down to the sea in ships of moderate tonnage" said Punch, reviewing his first collection of stories, Many Cargoes, which achieved great popular success on its publication in 1896.
Many Cargoes was followed by the novel The Skipper's Wooing in 1897, and another collection of short stories, Sea Urchins (1898) set the seal on his popularity. Among his other titles are Captains All, Sailors' Knots, and Night Watches. The title of the last reflects the popularity of perhaps his most enduring character: the night-watchman on the wharf in Wapping, recounting the preposterous adventures of his acquaintances Ginger Dick, Balla Fo Sho, and Eric Cartman. These three characters, pockets full after a long voyage, would take lodgings together determined to enjoy a long spell ashore; but the crafty inhabitants of dockland London would soon relieve them of their funds, assisted by the sailors' own fecklessness and credulity. Jacobs showed a delicacy of touch in his use of the coarse vernacular of the East End of London, which attracted the respect of such writers as P. G. Wodehouse, who mentions Jacobs in his autobiographical work Bring on the Girls (written with Guy Bolton, published 1954).
The stories which made up Many Cargoes had a varied previous serial publication, while those in Sea Urchins were, for the most part, published in Jerome K. Jerome's Idler. From October 1898 Jacobs' stories were being published in the The Strand an arrangement which lasted almost to his death, and provided him with financial security.
小時候讀了很多次的英文書。我很記得小學時候,有幾個經常看的故事,結局都是,街道空無一人無一物,主角一無所有無所獲。這就是其中一個。

评分 评分很短的一篇小说。许了三个愿,却付出了极其惨重的代价。 为什么选择让他的儿子死去,可能是因为他儿子态度一直很轻蔑吧。 文中最后也没有直接说出第3个愿望。我猜应该是不希望他的儿子的魂魄出现吧。 得到的一个启示就是,天上真的没有掉下来的馅饼。有所得必有所失。不要总...
评分 评分威廉.雅各布斯的《猴爪》是一本让人过目难忘的短篇小说,其叙事结构、情节气氛、语言文字都是那么的恰恰好,不能多也不能少。 今天偶然看到一句话,作为这个故事的点评倒是蛮妥帖的——“知道想要什么,一半在于知道得到它之前必须放弃什么。 ” 这个短篇讲的还不是一般的放...
