具体描述

Considered a masterpiece since its first appearance on stage in 1904, Peter Pan is J. M. Barrie's most famous work and the greatest of all children's stories. While it is a wonderful fantasy for the young, Peter Pan, particularly in the novel form Barrie published in 1911, says something important to all of us. Here "the boy who wouldn't grow up" and his adventures with Wendy and the lost boys in the Neverland evoke a deep emotional response as they give form to our feelings about parents, boys and girls, the unknown, freedom, and responsibility. Humorous, satiric, filled with suspenseful cliff-hangers and bittersweet truths, Peter Pan works an indisputable magic on readers of all ages, making it a true classic of imaginative literature.

“Barrie wrote his fantasy of childhood, added another figure to our enduring literature, and thereby undoubtedly made one of the boldest bids for immortality of any writer. . . . It is a masterpiece.”—J. B. Priestley

作者简介

Sir James Mathew Barrie was born on May 9, 1860, at Kirriemuir in Scotland, the ninth of ten children of a weaver. When Barrie was six, his older brother David died in a skating accident. Barrie then became his mother’s chief comforter, while David remained in her memory a boy of thirteen who would never grow up. Barrie received his M.A. degree from the University of Edinburgh in 1882 and began working as a journalist. In 1885 he moved to London, and his writings were collected in Auld Licht Idlls (1888) and A Window in Thurns (1889), which, together with a sentimental novel, The Little Minister (1891), made him a best-selling author. In 1894 he married an actress, Mary Ansell, but the marriage was profoundly unhappy, produced no children, and was dissolved in 1910. However, a favorite Saint Bernard dog of Mary’s later became the famous Nana of Peter Pan. In 1897, with the adaptation of The Little Minister, Barrie became a successful playwright, writing the plays The Admirable Crichton (1902), What Every Woman Knows (1903), and Peter Pan (1904), which was produced in 1904 and revived in London every Christmas season thereafter. While the figure of Peter Pan first appeared in Barrie’s book The Little White Bird (1902), the story and the concept began in the tales Barrie told the sons of Mrs. Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, a woman Barrie loved. Barrie then published the story of Peter Pan in book form as Peter and Wendy (1911). The best of Barrie’s later works is Dear Brutus (1917), a haunting play that again brought the supernatural and fantasy to the London stage. Barrie died in 1937, bequeathing the copyright of Peter Pan to the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, a hospital for children.

读后感

一直都说自己很喜欢彼得潘 但之前真的没有看过任何关于这个孩子的书籍电影 只是从断断续续的评论中隐隐约约觉得彼得潘属于自己喜欢的对象 于是小王子与彼得潘被我一起当作偶像崇拜了好多年 也许是真的年龄大了 自己的在读书的时候总是笑个不停 书里的一切怎么都是那么有意思呢...  

又看彼得潘了，还是更喜欢开头和结尾，就象小时侯一样，我不喜欢看圣斗士，不喜欢变形金刚，不喜欢那些所谓的为正义而战，我只喜欢那些安安静静的故事，所以我不喜欢看他们和胡克船长打架，不喜欢小仙女的死去，喜欢开头温蒂遇到彼得潘，认识这个永远长不大，也不想长大的孩子...  

这一生，第一本让我哭的书．１２岁的时候，最大的烦恼不过是期末考试．但是这本书抛给我一个事实，人人都是要长大的．除了＂潘＂．书的最后部分作者写得甜蜜而哀愁，当看到温蒂长大了，忘记了怎么飞的时候，我哭了起来．始终都找不到一个完美的原因．就是面对＂长大＂这两个...  

《彼得潘》，我没看过大陆版，只看过梁实秋翻译的民国版。但我浏览了一下这里的书评，我猜，大陆的译本是个“洁本”。 这个洁本不能怪大陆，是英国的出版方再版时把初版里“儿童不宜”的东西删去了。大陆译本应该是译自再版本。 抄几段以前写的书评，让没机会看初版本的读者体...  

“爸爸，你究竟为什么活着？” 这个问题好难噢……于是，爸爸反问说：“那你为什么活着？” “为了玩。” 地球上所有的孩子都将长大，必须长大，除了一个，仅有的一个，唯一的一个，人们都管他叫：彼得.潘。 无忧岛，总体来说，那是一个迷人的岛。长翅膀的精...  

用户评价

Peter thimbled her...

人人心中都有个彼得潘。

价值观还是略陈腐了一些......

结局有点伤感…几乎戳到泪点

这都什么细思恐极，就是一群长不大的小男孩拐来一个小女孩当所有人的妈，然后小女孩还当妈当得乐在其中，后来小女孩回家了长大了结婚了她的女儿和孙女就年复一年代代相传地跑到永无岛上给彼得潘当妈……
