具体描述
Flann O’Brien, along with Joyce and Beckett, is part of the holy trinity of modern Irish literature. His five novels–collected here in one volume–are a monument to his inspired lunacy and gleefully demented genius.
O’Brien’s masterpiece, At Swim-Two-Birds, is an exuberant literary send-up and one of the funniest novels of the twentieth century. The novel’s narrator is writing a novel about another man writing a novel, in a Celtic knot of interlocking stories. The riotous cast of characters includes figures “stolen” from Gaelic legends, along with assorted students, fairies, ordinary Dubliners, and cowboys, some of whom try to break free of their author’s control and destroy him.
The narrator of The Third Policeman, who has forgotten his name, is a student of philosophy who has committed murder and wanders into a surreal hell where he encounters such oddities as the ghost of his victim, three policeman who experiment with space and time, and his own soul (who is named “Joe”).
The Poor Mouth, a bleakly hilarious portrait of peasants in a village dominated by pigs, potatoes, and endless rain, is a giddy parody aimed at those who would romanticize Gaelic culture. A naïve young orphan narrates the deadpan farce The Hard Life, and The Dalkey Archive is an outrageous satiric fantasy featuring a mad scientist who uses relativity to age his whiskey, a policeman who believes men can turn into bicycles, and an elderly, bar-tending James Joyce. With a new Introduction by Keith Donohue.
............................................
“A real writer, with the true comic spirit.”
—James Joyce
“Unquestionably a major author . . . Flann O’Brien assault[s] your brain with words, style, magic, madness, and unlimited invention.”
—Anthony Burgess
“O’Brien was one of the comic geniuses of the 20th century.”
—BOSTON GLOBE
“At Swim-Two-Birds has remained in my mind ever since it first appeared as one of the best books of our century. A book in a thousand . . . in the line of Ulysses and Tristram Shandy.”
—Graham Greene
“At Swim-Two-Birds is both a comedy and fantasy of such staggering originality that it baffles description and very nearly beggars our sense of delight.”
—CHICAGO TRIBUNE
“[The Third Policeman is] the funniest book ever written . . . and scariest.”
—Charles Baxter, NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO
“The Poor Mouth shows a comic genius working close to his best capability. Humor of this quality, this intensity, is very rare; as witty in its language as in its invention, it cries to be read aloud.”
—NEWSWEEK
作者简介
Flann O'Brien is the pseudonym of Brian O'Nolan, an Irish novelist and political commentator who was born in 1911 in County Tyrone and raised in Dublin. He entered the Irish civil service in 1937 and formally retired in 1953. From 1940 until his death, he wrote a political column called "Cruiskeen Lawn" for The Irish Times, under the pseudonym of Myles na Gopaleen; his biting, satiric commentaries made him the conscience of the Irish government. He died in 1966.

语言是这本书最迷人的部分。作者的遣词造句，如同一位技艺精湛的织匠，将文字编织成一幅幅生动的画面。他能够用最简洁的语言勾勒出最复杂的场景，用最朴实的词汇表达出最深邃的情感。我特别欣赏他在描绘自然景物时所展现出的诗意，无论是细雨霏霏的乡村，还是喧嚣繁华的都市，在他的笔下都充满了生命力。
评分阅读过程中的那种宁静与专注，是现代生活中难得的体验。在这本书的世界里，我仿佛可以暂时逃离现实的喧嚣，沉浸在一个完全不同的时空。没有社交媒体的干扰，没有琐碎的日常事务，只有我与书中的世界，与那些鲜活的人物进行着灵魂的对话。
评分从第一个故事开始，我就被深深吸引了。作者的文字如同涓涓细流，缓缓地渗入读者的内心，没有激烈的波澜，却有着不动声色的力量。每一个角色都塑造得如此立体，他们不是纸上的符号，而是活生生的人，有着自己的喜怒哀乐，自己的挣扎与追求。我尤其喜欢作者对人物内心世界的细腻描摹，那种潜藏在言语之下的情感暗流，那种不经意间流露出的孤独或喜悦，都让我感同身受。
评分我曾尝试过阅读同类题材的其他作品，但很少有哪一部能像这部一样，在情感上给予我如此强烈而持久的共鸣。作者对人性的洞察力，对生活细微之处的捕捉能力，都达到了令人惊叹的高度。
评分这是一本值得反复阅读的书。每一次重读，都会有新的发现，新的体会。那些曾经被忽略的细节，在第二次、第三次阅读时，会变得更加清晰和深刻。它就像一位老朋友，每次见面都能带来新的惊喜。
评分总而言之，这本书带给我的是一种心灵的滋养和思想的启迪。它不仅仅是一部文学作品，更是一次关于生命、关于人性、关于我们自己存在的深刻反思。我非常庆幸能够拥有它，并在它所构建的世界里，找到属于自己的那份宁静与力量。
评分这是一次关于人生百态的深度探索。书中描绘的社会图景，既有那个时代的烙印，又触及了跨越时空的普世情感。爱情的萌芽与消逝，友谊的坚守与背叛，家庭的羁绊与依靠，人性的光辉与阴影，作者都毫不避讳地呈现出来。我常常在阅读中停下来，思考书中人物的境遇，以及他们在命运的洪流中做出的选择。
评分书中探讨的主题非常深刻，涵盖了社会、伦理、哲学等多个层面。作者并没有直接给出答案，而是通过故事和人物的经历，引导读者自己去探索和思考。这种开放式的表达方式，让每个读者都能从中获得属于自己的理解和感悟。
评分这本书的厚度本身就足以让人望而生畏，但翻开第一页，那份沉甸甸的分量便转化成了沉浸式阅读的期待。Everyman's Library系列一贯的精良工艺在这本《The Complete Novels》上得到了完美的体现。封面材质触感温润，纸张的泛黄程度恰到好处，既有复古的韵味，又不失阅读的舒适度。字号大小适中，排版疏朗，即使长时间阅读也不会感到视觉疲劳。我选择的这本是某个版本的精装，那种硬挺的封面和缝线装订，让人感觉它不仅仅是一本书，更像是一件可以世代相传的艺术品。
评分这部作品的结构设计也堪称匠心独运。故事线索的交织与呼应，情节发展的跌宕起伏，都充满了巧思。有时，我会为故事中某个角色的命运感到揪心，但转眼间，又会被另一个角色的遭遇所吸引。这种多线叙事的方式，让整个故事更加饱满和丰富，也给读者留下了更多的思考空间。
评分A welcome collection of Flann O'Brien's novels, many of which had previously been difficult to find. Any criticisms (the failure to include illustrations for 'The Poor Mouth,' and indeed the omission of the original Irish novel 'An Beal Bocht') would be mere nitpicking.
