Wide Sargasso Sea

Wide Sargasso Sea pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025

Jean Rhys (originally Ella Gwendolen Rees Williams) was a Caribbean novelist who wrote in the mid 20th century. Her first four novels were published during the 1920s and 1930s, but it was not until the publication of Wide Sargasso Sea in 1966 that she emerged as a significant literary figure. A "prequel" to Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, Wide Sargasso Sea won a prestigious WH Smith Literary Award in 1967.

Rhys was born in Dominica (a formerly British island in the Caribbean) to a Welsh father and Scottish mother. She moved to England at the age of sixteen, where she worked unsuccessfully as a chorus girl. In the 1920s, she relocated to Europe, travelling as a Bohemian artist and taking up residence sporadically in Paris. During this period, Rhys lived in near poverty, while familiarising herself with modern art and literature, and acquiring the alcoholism that would persist throughout the rest of her life. Her experience of a patriarchal society and feelings of displacement during this period would form some of the most important themes in her work.

Wide Sargasso Sea, a masterpiece of modern fiction, was Jean Rhys’s return to the literary center stage. She had a startling early career and was known for her extraordinary prose and haunting women characters. With Wide Sargasso Sea, her last and best-selling novel, she ingeniously brings into light one of fiction’s most fascinating characters: the madwoman in the attic from Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. This mesmerizing work introduces us to Antoinette Cosway, a sensual and protected young woman who is sold into marriage to the prideful Mr. Rochester. Rhys portrays Cosway amidst a society so driven by hatred, so skewed in its sexual relations, that it can literally drive a woman out of her mind.

A new introduction by the award-winning Edwidge Danticat, author most recently of Claire of the Sea Light, expresses the enduring importance of this work. Drawing on her own Caribbean background, she illuminates the setting’s impact on Rhys and her astonishing work.

作为<简爱>的前传,看的时候十分的痛心,很心疼Antoinette这个小姑娘。她就是<简爱>中人见人恨的疯女人。在这里成了女主角,童年的孤单与小小的欢乐,刚获得微小的幸福即被排山倒海的痛苦淹没,一遍一遍在梦境与现实间转换,十几年的囚禁生涯,的都化作熊熊的烈火,这一生,比...

我咋不是特彆喜歡這種陰森森的感覺

企鵝係列叢書 簡·愛前傳 最近在努力的讀

评分

對簡愛中的背景人物的無限延展。她為她作傳 單憑勇氣 就值得喝彩。

评分

(1966) R4 read by Adjoa Andoh & Adam Godley. 更覺得簡愛難得瞭,自愛獨立好學,不怪男主喜歡。這本就是白富美的訴苦,一點也不動人。這性格還不遭人嫌棄//這兩個作者知不知道縱火是性犯罪呢

评分

Jean Rhys的文字簡潔而生動,比中文版更有感覺一些。對於後殖民時代的加勒比這一曆史背景的處理也很贊。說來理查德箭頭史密斯先生的品味真是詭異(爆)。
