I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Here is a book as joyous and painful, and as mysterious and memorable, as childhood itself. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings captures the longing of lonely children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make the world right. Maya Angelou’s first memoir, published in 1969 is a modern American classic beloved worldwide.
Sent by their mother to their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local “powhitetrash.” When she journeys at eight to her mother’s side in St. Louis, she is attacked by a man many times her age. Years later, in San Francisco, she learns about love for herself–and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. The kindness of others, Maya’s own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors (“I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare”) will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned.
Poetic and powerful–now in a beautiful keepsake edition– I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings will touch hearts and change minds as long as people read.
Maya Angelou, born Marguerite Ann Johnson April 4, 1928 in St. Louis, Missouri, was an American poet, memoirist, actress and an important figure in the American Civil Rights Movement. In 2001 she was named one of the 30 most powerful women in America by Ladies Home Journal. Maya Angelou is known for her series of six autobiographies, starting with I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, (1969) which was nominated for a National Book Award and called her magnum opus. Her volume of poetry, Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'Fore I Die (1971) was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.
再深的苦难,也讲述得波澜不惊。
评分一年半前看的,现在才补完,足以看出我其实没什么兴趣。语言相当优美,只不过前面小女孩的见解真是挺无聊的,到后面倒感到一下子变风格了,特别是最后两章。"The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerence. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance."(272)
评分从之前的压抑到之后的自由,感受到了这位黑人女性的心路历程。可能是有些地方看不太懂...带来的感触不是特别大

评分发表于2013年5月10日《文汇读书周报》 读美国著名女作家玛雅•安吉洛的《我知道笼中鸟为何歌唱》(以下简称“《歌唱》”),不禁让人想起“每个作家都是在书写历史”这句话。她是用自传的方式、文学的色彩对二十世纪初美国黑人女性的历史作阐述,自传方式和文学色彩使她...
