Thomas C. Foster studied English at Dartmouth College and then Michigan State University. He has been a professor of literature and writing since 1975, the last twenty-one years at the University of Michigan–Flint. In that time, he's learned more about literature from his students than in all the classes he's taken over the years. He is the author of the New York Times bestselling How to Read Novels Like a Professor and How to Read Literature Like a Professor.
What does it mean when a fictional hero takes a journey?. Shares a meal? Gets drenched in a sudden rain shower? Often, there is much more going on in a novel or poem than is readily visible on the surface -- a symbol, maybe, that remains elusive, or an unexpected twist on a character -- and there's that sneaking suspicion that the deeper meaning of a literary text keeps escaping you.
In this practical and amusing guide to literature, Thomas C. Foster shows how easy and gratifying it is to unlock those hidden truths, and to discover a world where a road leads to a quest; a shared meal may signify a communion; and rain, whether cleansing or destructive, is never just rain. Ranging from major themes to literary models, narrative devices, and form, How to Read Literature Like a Professor is the perfect companion for making your reading experience more enriching, satisfying, and fun.

中級部分的書目都是一些參考書,很多沒有中譯本,行文裏不附英文原名真是超不方便啊。 於是對照英文版做瞭這個書單,方便查找。 列單時發現,除瞭順序不同,中文版裏差瞭一本書,還譯錯瞭一個作者 (⊙﹏⊙)b。 英文版使用的 HarperCollins 2014版,順序書目都以英文版為準。 1...
評分我們叫做玫瑰的這一種花,要是換瞭個名字,它的香味還是同樣的芬芳。 ——莎士比亞《羅密歐與硃麗葉》第二幕第二場 而托馬斯·福斯特說 隻有一個故事。我認為那唯一的故事,那個單一神話講的是我們自己…… 而在《玫瑰的名字》裏,艾柯寫道: 我仿佛覺得,現在...
評分As common reader, I sometimes face a dilemma: For instance,I have great fun reading a book, then I want to explore it a bit deeper; I findout the story is linked to some history events and there is symbol A or metaphor B and the psycho analysis always lead ...
評分書到手已經有差不多2個月瞭,纔開始讀,首要原因是這是本繁體加竪排版的書,說實話這是我的第一本竪排版的書,初讀有些吃力,但是靜下心漸漸讀進去之後,發現內容的精彩和生動的語言使閱讀睏難的文字成功銬住瞭我雙眼。 看完前言與第一堂課,心裏便開始埋怨小學初中高中的語文...
評分可能是《如何閱讀一本書》火瞭,所以《如何閱讀一本文學書》《如何閱讀一本小說》之類的書紛紛齣世,這就跟市麵上那些《中國不高興》《中國為什麼不高興》之類的書名一樣蠢。 這《如何閱讀一本文學書》的書名,完全愚蠢市場的産物,實際上,這本書的英文原名是《How to Read L...

There is only one story, the human story!
評分如果這書齣瞭中文版,馬上買幾本送人!
評分是挺搞笑的~~
評分邊看邊按圖索驥找書參考,終於看完。對閱讀英美文學梳理清晰新穎,有很高的指點作用,今後仍可翻閱參考。
評分偶然在書店看到的,發現還不錯就拿來讀瞭。看完之後最大的感受是自己認識的單詞和讀過的書太少瞭。不過有差不多一半的人名和書名還是聽說過的,因此感覺還不是太差。自己目前的水平還沒法判斷這書講得靠不靠譜,不過的確給我提供瞭很多新的思路。這書作為高考語文輔導書也許不錯?美國的確有高中把這本書作為“必讀書目”之一的。繼續努力吧
