William Stoner is born at the end of the nineteenth century into a dirt-poor Missouri farming family. Sent to the state university to study agronomy, he instead falls in love with English literature and embraces a scholar’s life, so different from the hardscrabble existence he has known.

And yet as the years pass, Stoner encounters a succession of disappointments: marriage into a “proper” family estranges him from his parents; his career is stymied; his wife and daughter turn coldly away from him; a transforming experience of new love ends under threat of scandal. Driven ever deeper within himself, Stoner rediscovers the stoic silence of his forebears and confronts an essential solitude.

John Williams's luminous and deeply moving novel is a work of quiet perfection. William Stoner emerges from it not only as an archetypal American, but as an unlikely existential hero, standing, like a figure in a painting by Edward Hopper, in stark relief against an unforgiving world.

具體描述

讀後感

評分

這本書真是激起瞭我眾多的惡感乃至憤怒。但是也慢慢由此明白,我對很多“嚴肅文學”的惡感與此類似,我一直非常害怕讀大段描寫人類的怯懦、無力感或者是雞賊的作品,每到這個時候就想逃走。比如《更多的人死於心碎》就讓我非常睏擾。我經常覺得好多事情並非完全不可抗力,與其...

上大學的時候,我們都會遇到一種典型的大學老師:明明在教一門必修又基礎的課卻把內容、作業和考試的難度上升到讓所有人都痛不欲生的地步;似乎對某些學問有著極為深入的研究和領悟,可上他們的課卻很難從中感到被震懾的魅力;絕對不是係裏的“紅人”,搜索他們的名字,除瞭擔...

用戶評價

评分

我想,好的小說是每位讀者都能從主人公身上找到自己的影子。《斯通納》就是這樣的小說,主人公斯通納就是那位像鏡子一般幫助讀者照見自我的人。他是一個普通得不能再普通的男人,沒有俗世意義上的功成名就,卻終其一生都不曾放棄對理想的追求和對信念的堅守。有時候,平凡與偉大之間,並無深淵巨壑。

淚點:Katherine後來去瞭一個女校教書,博士論文齣瞭書,謹緻W.S.。

(Reminds me of Russell's) Knowledge & Love & (pity for) human suffering. Still think he should have done more for his daughter.

能把一個普通人的生活寫得這麼生動而且真實,不誇張不造作不離奇,但同時又能引人入勝,這非常難得。

评分

無法代入的人生,卻是完全可代入的情感。不知不覺就過瞭一輩子,不隻是最終,而是始終孑然一身。感慨傢庭對一個人的影響,莫名其妙就引導瞭人的一生,這一點不是從Stoner身上,而是從他篇幅不多的女兒身上看到的。那一刻,覺得可怕。雖然是完全不同的境遇,也沒有起伏大悲的情節,還是會在最後看到流淚。
