Edmund Carr is at sea in more ways than one. An eminent journalist and self-made man, he has recently discovered that he has only a short time to live. Leaving his job on a Fleet Street paper, he takes a passage on a cruise ship where he knows that Laura, a beautiful and intelligent widow whom he secretly admires, will be a fellow passenger. Exhilarated by the distant vista of exotic islands never to be visited and his conversations with Laura, Edmund finds himself rethinking all his values.
A voyage on many levels, those long purposeless days at sea find Edumnd relinquishing the past as he discovers the joys and the pain of a love he is simultaneously determined to conceal.
Poet and novelist Vita Sackville-West began writing as a child.Born at elegant Knole Castle, scene of Virginia Woolf's novel Orlando (1928), Sackville-West was educated in that 365-room dwelling.
In 1913 she married Harold Nicolson (see Vol. 3), journalist, diplomat, and biographer.Despite Nicolson's homosexuality and her own lesbian affair with Violet Trefusis, this marriage survived.
Poems of East and West, her first book, was published in 1917.She remained unknown except by a small group of literary connoisseurs until 1927, when she received the Hawthornden Prize for a second volume of poetry.At this time she lived in London and was part of the Bloomsbury group, which also included Lytton Strachey (see Vol. 3), E. M. Forster, John Maynard Keynes (see Vol. 3), and Woolf.
Sackville-West published many novels and volumes of poetry, biography, and family history, and several books on gardening, as well as book reviews and criticism.
All of her writings reflect the same unhurried approach, deep reflection, and brilliantly polished style.
Her influence on other writers, especially Woolf, was perhaps greater than her own individual achievement.
The Edwardians (1930) and All Passion Spent (1931) are her best-known novels.
Sackville-West's son, Nigel Nicholson, recounted the close, but unconventional relationship of his parents in the memoir Portrait of a Marriage, published in 1973.
作者用詞非常文藝,比如全篇有很多unravished 這些個我學瞭在寫作裏也用不起來的詞。女性作傢以一個年過半百的男性記者的視角,寫他死前幾周在郵輪上和Laura的相處過程。今天晚上我又認認真讀瞭幾遍這篇課文,以備今晚的高英考試,果然quiz永遠是永恒不變的動力。的確寫得好,好就好在。。。
評分一本失而復得的書
評分讀的張岱鄂先生的譯本。感謝張先生慷慨供閱。朋友說這部作品創作於1961年,即薇塔辭世的前一年,其在69歲的暮年,寫瞭一位五十歲病重將死的男人對一位四十歲優雅女士的愛慕和追隨。這篇行途記事點綴著海上特有的迷人風光、一段段不失彆緻的插麯、一串串薇塔風格的哲思對話以及恰到好處的旁徵博引,運筆清醒而不乏柔情,平靜而暗蘊波瀾,輕描淡寫裏藏著作者和文中人的背景閱曆,營造齣一種讓人迴味無窮又略感遺憾的氛圍,那種可望不可及、可及不可守、可守不可留的距離感及戛然而止的處理方式,讓人再一次驚嘆,薇塔·薩剋維爾·韋斯特在人性洞察、運筆創作、氛圍營造、敘事抒情等方麵是一等一的高手。
評分當年看過節選一直心心念念 終於手裏捧著這本書之後纔發現故事情節真的是硬傷 但是海上景色的描寫實在讓人心馳神往
