佐拉•尼爾•赫斯頓(1891-1960),美國黑人女作傢,被譽為“南方的天纔”。在美國第一個黑人小城伊頓維爾,赫斯頓度過瞭無憂無慮的童年;1918年進入霍華德大學就讀文學係,1925年來到黑人文學的中心紐約,開始創作生涯,並成為哈萊姆文藝復興運動的活躍分子。
赫斯頓畢生緻力於保持黑人文化傳統、探尋黑人完整的生命價值。她收集整理瞭黑人民間故事集《騾與人》、《告訴我的馬》,還寫作瞭四部小說:《他們眼望上蒼》、《約拿的葫蘆藤》、《摩西,山之人》、《蘇旺尼的六翼天使》,一部自傳《大路上的塵跡》,以及一些短篇小說。
赫斯頓在小說中大量使用黑人口語,以詩一般的語言去錶達黑人語言之美。她的作品並不著眼於種族鬥爭,而是緻力於錶現:同其他人種一樣,黑人也擁有生活的豐富性和對幸福的追求,也會麵對生活中必然存在的不幸和悲劇。
Book Description
One of the most important works of twentieth-century American literature, Zora Neale Hurston's beloved 1937 classic, Their Eyes Were Watching God is an enduring Southern love story sparkling with wit, beauty, and heartfelt wisdom. Told in the captivating voice of a woman who refuses to live in sorrow, bitterness, fear, or foolish romantic dreams, it is the story of fair-skinned, fiercely independent Janie Crawford, and her evolving selfhood through three marriages and a life marked by poverty, trials, and purpose. A true literary wonder, Hurston's masterwork remains as relevant and affecting today as when it was first published — perhaps the most widely read and highly regarded novel in the entire canon of African American literature.
Hurston's beloved classic--one of the most important American novels of the 20th century--follows the fortunes of Janie Crawford, a woman who was married three times and had been tried for the murder of one of her husbands in the black town of Eaton, Florida.

評分黑人女作傢佐拉筆下的女主角珍妮一直在尋覓自己的愛情,不由讓我想起之前很喜歡的一部作品《被嫌棄的鬆子的一生》,同樣是一個女人追逐愛,與男人糾葛、尋愛不得的一生,《他們眼望上蒼》因其時代背景和種族歧視的刻畫,比之《鬆子》中的性格悲劇要來得更深刻。 第一個男人洛根...
評分 評分美國這個思想自由國度曆來不缺乏描寫黑人的文學作品,十九世紀斯托夫人的《湯姆叔叔的小屋》吹響瞭廢除黑奴的號角,問世後一版再版,深受好評。林肯總統在接見斯托夫人時幽默風趣地稱贊她是“寫瞭一本書,釀成瞭一場大戰的小婦人。”二十世紀有馬剋•吐溫的《哈剋貝利•費...
