OscarWilde童话王尔德英文原版

书籍介绍
王尔德自己大概也不会把这本书当作童话。读者反复提起的，是华丽辞藻下那种不留余地的冷——快乐王子拆下宝石送给穷人，市政官员却只看得见他的丑陋；夜莺用胸膛抵住刺以成全一朵红玫瑰，而自以为读懂了哲学的学生转身就骂爱情“不实用”。它真正适合的不是孩子，而是愿意直面“兼济天下者被辜负、付出者无声死去”这类结局的成年人。五则故事里，温情只给了巨人一章，其余皆以反讽或牺牲收场。它不提供安慰，反而逼你承认：爱无法称量、不能买卖，却正是让人生变得残缺的东西。读它更像一次对善良的质询，而非一次温暖的安抚。
作者简介
Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s.

精彩摘录
  • "He had just strength to fly up to the Prince's shoulder once more. "Good-bye, dear Prince!" he murmured, "will you let me kiss your hand?" "I am glad that you are going to Egypt at last, little Swallow," said the Prince, "you have stayed too long here; but you must kiss me on the lips, for I love yo"
  • ""No red rose in all my garden!" he cried, and his beautiful eyes filled with tears. "Ah, on what little things does happiness depend! I have read all that the wise men have written, and all the secrets of philosophy are mine, yet for want of a red rose is my life made wretched.""
  • ""Here indeed is the true lover," said the Nightingale."What I sing of ,he suffers, what is joy to me, to him is pain. Surely love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds, and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the market-place. It ma"
  • ""What a silly thing Love is , "said the Student as he walked away. "It is not half as useful as Logic, for it does not prove anything, and it is always telling one of things that are not going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true. In fact, it is quite unpractical, and, as in th"
  • "But love is not fashionable any more, the poets have killed it. They wrote so much about it that nobody believed them, and I am not surprised. True love suffers, and is silent. I remember myself once—— But it is no matter now. Romance is a thing of the past."
  • ""I like hearing myself talk. It is one of my greatest pleasures. I often have long conversations all by myself, and I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying" "Then you should certainly lecture on Philosophy.""
  • "As for domesticity, it ages one rapidly, and distracts one's mind from higher things."
  • ""In war, " answered the weaver, "the strong make slaves of the weak, and in peace the rich make slaves of the poor. We must work to live, and they give us such mean wages that we die. We toil for them all day long, and they heap up gold in their coffers, and our children fade away before their time,"
用户评论
王尔德
以前看过译版纸质书。因为很喜欢，最近听了原版有声书。有声书比纸质书更精彩。起码，看母语纸质书时只是难过、沉重，听二外有声书时竟然听哭了。
写童话的gay~多迷人哈~
陈词滥调。
又听了一遍，单词真的不太简单，好多华丽的形容词都听不出来。仔细想想，基本上每个故事都是悲剧结尾的，除了the amazing rocket这个讽刺滑稽的故事，几乎所有的主人公都是比较悲惨的死亡结局，让人有点心酸。王尔德的悲观主义太严重了，也许是悲剧比喜剧更有美感吧，但是这么多悲剧真心让人比较难受😭9.3分吧。
my heart is filled to overflowing with endless sadness
