Joseph Brodsky (1940-96) came to the United States in 1972, an involuntary exile from the Soviet Union. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1987 and served as Poet Laureate of the United States in 1991 and 1992.
'Genius . . . bringing ardent intelligence to bear upon poetry, politics and autobiography' Seamus Heaney
Essayist and poet Joseph Brodsky was one of the most penetrating voices of the twentieth century. This prize-winning collection of his diverse essays includes uniquely powerful appreciations of great writers: on Dostoevsky and the development of Russian prose, on Auden and Akhmatova, Cavafy, Montale and Mandelstam. These are contrasted with his reflections on larger themes of tyranny and evil, and subtle evocations of his childhood in Leningrad. Brodsky's insightful appreciation of the intricacies of language, culture and identity connect these works, revealing his remarkable gifts as a prose writer.

约瑟夫•布罗茨基生前出版了五部英文作品,其中三部是散文集,另外两部是诗集,其中一部诗集还是在他不知情的状况下,1967在英国翻译出版,他并不认同。1972年,布罗茨基被驱逐出国,着陆在美国,用桑塔格的话说,他像一枚从一个帝国射来的导弹,承载着的不仅是他的天才,还...
评分老实说,布罗茨基先生《小于一》这本书摆在我床头已经很久了,原想睡前看半小时,很快就会有“全剧终”的一天。不料,半小时的时间被手机占去,于是咬咬牙再看十分钟——手机——睡吧。拖延至今,又不料,年底这本书大热,上了很多榜单。热有热的原因,“诺奖得主”,“政...
评分我相信这里的同学应该对这句话都很熟悉:经济基础决定上层建筑,上层建筑对于经济基础具有反作用。这句话是我们通常所说的辩证法式的修辞。他可以简单地把事物切分成两个部分,然后简单粗暴地把历史运动和社会运动还原成一组对照关系。这种修辞仅仅停留在修辞层面,在技巧层面...
评分这本书对我来说真是够晦涩了,专业的诗歌艺术批评,运用了关于哲学、语言学、美学、语义学多方面的知识,作者对各种诗歌作者、流派信手拈来,这对看书的人真的很是折磨。可能是它太专业了吧,我还没有达到那个水准,这本书里只有布罗茨基讲述他的父母、童年记忆和跌宕人生的两...
评分1.格言式写作 艺术不模仿生活,哪怕仅仅出于担心陈词滥调。(《哀泣的缪斯》) 为了在极权主义压力下生存,艺术应发展出与那个压力强度成正比的密度。(《在但丁的阴影下》) 成为一个作家总是意味着成为一个新教徒。(《自然力》) 平等的概念,不是艺术本质固有的,而任何文...
