The fiftieth anniversary of a lost classica deceptively sophisticated tale of sexual compulsion and one man’s flight from love Yasha Mazur is a Houdini-like performer whose skill has made him famous throughout eastern Poland. Half Jewish, half Gentile, a freethinker who slips easily between worlds, Yasha has an observant Jewish wife, a Gentile assistant who travels with him, and a mistress in every town. For Yasha is an escape artist not only onstage but in life, a man who lives under the spell of his own hypnotic effect on women. Now, though, his exploits are catching up with him, and he is tempted to make one final escapefrom his wife and his homeland and the last tendrils of his father’s religion. Set in Warsaw and the shtetls of the 1870sbut first published in 1960Isaac Bashevis Singer’s second novel hides a haunting psychological portrait inside a beguiling parable. At its heart, this is a book about the burden of sexual freedom. As such, it belongs on a small shelf with such mid-century classics as Rabbit, Run ; The Adventures of Augie March ; and The Moviegoer . As Milton Hindus wrote in The New York Times Book Review , The pathos of the ending may move the reader to tears, but they are not sentimental tears . . . [Singer] is a writer of far greater than ordinary powers.”
艾萨克·巴什维斯·辛格(Isaac Bashevis Singer,1904-1991),美国著名犹太裔作家,先后创作长篇小说《莫斯卡特一家》,《庄园》,《农庄》等。短片小说《羽毛的王冠》,《短片小说集》,《意象集》等。其中1978年《卢布林的魔术师》获得当年诺贝尔文学奖。
辛格15岁开始文学创作,曾先后两次获美国全国图书奖,多次获得美国其他文学奖金。他一生共创作30余部作品。辛格“因为他的充满激情的叙事艺术,这种艺术既扎根于波兰犹太人的文化传统,又反映了人类的普遍处境”。
作品中的丰富成语和活泼语句受到评论界高度赞扬,认为那是任何译文都无法传达的。
令我难过,非常难过。前面部分雅夏的问题是人类普遍永恒的困境,结尾不是解决的解决...宗教...当然,这是波兰犹太人辛格写的。我无法体悟,就像我也无法理解《恋情的终结》里凯瑟琳对天主教上帝的超越一切的虔诚。我生在一个没有信仰的国家和民族。 但我有同样的痛苦。 活着...
评分雅夏是一个魔术师。他的妻子不能生育,他和自己的助手玛格达成立了另外一个“家”,他和一群声名狼藉的小偷混在一起,与一个小偷的弃妇私通,勾引华沙的一位教授的遗孀,甚至对那个小女孩也有着暧昧的感情。他象在钢丝上翻跟斗那样游走于这种生活。他以为自己已经放弃了犹太人...

评分读书笔记15:卢布林的魔法师 读大学的时候抄了很多辛格的短篇小说,他自己也认为短篇小说要写的更好一点。按照时髦的话题,这是一个男人的中年危机的故事,即便是发生在19世纪末,依然很有现实意义。 辛格就如一个魔法师,前面做了大量的铺垫,从一个家到另一个家,四个女人相...
