书籍介绍
这并不是一个好读的故事,至少对多数读者如此:一个靠翻译法国小说度身、赖在女朋头脚、四处蹭住的年轻男人,带着室友在伦敦街头漫无目的地游荡,试图从旧爱与老友之间挤出一条栖身之所。情节刻意
作者简介
艾丽丝•默多克(Iris Murdoch,1919—1999),二十世纪英国文坛最具影响力的小说家之一,同时也是一位享有国际声誉的伦理道德哲学家。艾丽丝•默多克生于爱尔兰都柏林,幼年时随父母移居伦敦,曾就读于牛津大学、剑桥大学,主修哲学,曾在牛津大学圣安妮学院教授哲学。 艾丽丝•默多克是继狄更斯以来英国文学史上少有的多产作家,一生共创作了26部小说,另外著有哲学、剧本和诗歌等作品。她的小说经常关注哲学的困境,情节构思精细,主题鲜明且深刻,人物具有象征意义。她曾六次获得“布克奖”提名,并于1978年摘得“布克奖”。 艾丽丝•默多克被誉为“英国最聪明的女人”。她去世后,美国文学评论家说:“默多克的逝世意味着英国再也没有世界一流的作家了。”

精彩摘录
  • "“网”的概念来自默多克的同行前辈维特根斯坦的语言哲学,即语言不能表述经验以外的东西。语言自诞生以来一直被使用,用语言编织的理论也无处不在,然而用来表述真实世界,却如同隔靴搔痒,事与愿违,形成一个个似是而非的矛盾。所谓“在网下”,简单地说,就是我们处在一张语言构成的大网底下,网把人与真实世界及人的真实经验阻隔开来,我们都在这张网下爬行挣扎。两人谈话中雨果认为,人只要一开口说话,就背离了真实世界,换句话说,只要开口就是撒谎。“一切理论阐述都是思想的飞翔。我们必须跟从情况本身,这是无法言说得具体的。实际上,是我们从未足够接近,不管使多大劲在网下爬,都无济于事。”杰克后来把两人的谈话写成一本书,取名为"
  • "Hugo has often been called an idealist. I would prefer a theoretician, though of peculiar kind. He lacked both the practical interests and the self-conscious moral seriousness of those who are usually dubbed idealists. He was the most purely objective and detached person I had ever met-only in him d"
  • "When does one ever know a human being?Perhaps only after one has realized the impossibility of knowledge and renounced the desire of it and finally ceased to feel even the need of it. But then what one achieves is no longer knowledge, it is simply a kind of co-existence; and this is one of the guise"
  • "Annandine: why should life be made endurable? I know that nothing consoles and nothing justifies except a story-but that doesn't stop all stories from being lies. Only the greatest men can speak and still be truthful. Any artist knows this obscurely; he knows that a theory is death, and all expressi"
  • "Events stream past us like these crowds and the face of each is seen only for a minute. What is urgent is not urgent forever but only ephemerally. All work and all love, the search for wealth and fame, the search for truth, life itself, are made up of moments which pass and become nothing. Yet throu"
  • "the trigger-like relation of the parts, the contrasting appeal of explosion and colour, the blending of pyrotechnical styles, the methods for combining eclat with duration, the perennial question of the coda. Hugo treated the set piece as if it were a symphony; he despised the vulgarity of represent"
  • "There was something about fireworks which absolutely fascinated Hugo. I think what pleased him most about them was their impermanence. I remember his holding forth to me once about what an honest thing a firework was. It was so patently just an ephemeral spurt of beauty of which in a moment nothing "
用户评论
“但是,安娜没有来。” 这本书是D最喜欢的小说,我们坐在花园里的长凳上,她跟我这么描述。眼前是羽毛蓬起来咕咕叫的鸽子。
最直接感受,对读《独角兽》迟疑了;此译本序可不读
有点无聊啊,哲学家还是别写小说了
杂
不如独角兽是真的,处女作和巅峰作显然是有差距的
有点喜欢的男性叙述 很神奇来自女作家笔下的男性叙事 翻译不喜欢 故事还可以
补档 两年前为了写论文读的。已经忘得差不多了。阅读感受想必也是平平。
可能是翻译的问题,也可能是处女作没那么成熟,总觉得有点别扭冗长,往好了说质地轻盈,往坏了讲平淡无趣
“人生的幸福,很大程度取决于对事物的感知力。”不过我不明白为什么说主人公是存在主义的践行者。
读着好累。这个男性叙述者和《大海大海》的叙述者相似度蛮高的,但完全没有那本好看
