I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
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.
以前Alexa的課上讀的
評分想太多瞭
評分如此細膩和真實的視角,不掩飾不美化,簡單的文字看到人格的強大。她和哥哥的童年樂趣,被媽媽的男友性侵,她的閱讀經曆,無傢可歸和她懷疑自己是否女同,這些都特彆觸動我。
評分一年半前看的,現在纔補完,足以看齣我其實沒什麼興趣。語言相當優美,隻不過前麵小女孩的見解真是挺無聊的,到後麵倒感到一下子變風格瞭,特彆是最後兩章。"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)
評分上世紀三四十年代的美國南部小鎮,塵土飛揚的炎夏永無盡頭,黑人們撿拾棉花,一貧如洗,白人似乎是另一個世界的生物,而祖母經營的一間便利店成瞭唯一的庇護所。Maya Angelo透過童年的自己,輕描淡寫地記錄下割裂的世界,和窘迫生活中的樂趣與微光。
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...
評分歌声以自由之名缭绕 美剧《生活大爆炸》第六季里,情商超低的Sheldon为争取终身教授的名额,去贿赂评审委员会成员、人力资源部的戴维斯女士。戴维斯女士是个窈窕的黑人,Sheodon讨好她送的礼物是一套电视剧《根》光碟……结果可想而知。 如今的美国黑人女性早已摆脱了黑奴时...
評分读了好久的一本书,但是情节也都能录入脑海。首先记忆深刻的是改变作者的两个人,一位是鼓励她多读书的优雅有魅力的女士,一个就是一视同仁不歧视不偏见的老师。 另一个印象就是,圣经的力量。书中充满了浓浓的,给人力量和希望的宗教色彩,这一点我很感动,也很喜欢。 还有一...
評分阅读这本书让我想起本雅明对他童年时代柏林的描述,不是因为相似,而是因为相异。相异但同样奇特的感知方式。 我深为本雅明的回忆而倾倒,在他的记忆和笔端,童年生活不是经由时间而是空间做出铺陈,是思想地形图的呈现:动物园、内阳台、柏林老西区、祖母和姨妈们的房子、学...
評分鸟鸣春涧弄好音 淡紫色丁香花盛开的春天,躲在家里读完了上海三联最近出版的译作,玛雅•安吉洛(Maya Angelou)六本自传的第一本《我知道笼中鸟为何歌唱(I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings)》。翻开淡淡紫色的封面,混着丁香花的香味一页一页读下去,玛...
