Of Mice and Men pdf epub mobi 著者簡介

John Steinbeck, born in Salinas, California, in 1902, grew up in a fertile agricultural valley, about twenty-five miles from the Pacific Coast. Both the valley and the coast would serve as settings for some of his best fiction. In 1919 he went to Stanford University, where he intermittently enrolled in literature and writing courses until he left in 1925 without taking a degree. During the next five years he supported himself as a laborer and journalist in New York City, all the time working on his first novel, Cup of Gold (1929).

After marriage and a move to Pacific Grove, he published two California books, The Pastures of Heaven (1932) and To a God Unknown (1933), and worked on short stories later collected in The Long Valley (1938). Popular success and financial security came only with Tortilla Flat (1935), stories about Monterey’s paisanos. A ceaseless experimenter throughout his career, Steinbeck changed courses regularly. Three powerful novels of the late 1930s focused on the California laboring class: In Dubious Battle (1936), Of Mice and Men (1937), and the book considered by many his finest, The Grapes of Wrath (1939). The Grapes of Wrath won both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize in 1939.

Early in the 1940s, Steinbeck became a filmmaker with The Forgotten Village (1941) and a serious student of marine biology with Sea of Cortez (1941). He devoted his services to the war, writing Bombs Away (1942) and the controversial play-novelette The Moon is Down (1942). Cannery Row (1945), The Wayward Bus (1948), another experimental drama, Burning Bright (1950), and The Log from the Sea of Cortez (1951) preceded publication of the monumental East of Eden (1952), an ambitious saga of the Salinas Valley and his own family’s history.

The last decades of his life were spent in New York City and Sag Harbor with his third wife, with whom he traveled widely. Later books include Sweet Thursday (1954), The Short Reign of Pippin IV: A Fabrication (1957), Once There Was a War (1958), The Winter of Our Discontent (1961), Travels with Charley in Search of America (1962), America and Americans (1966), and the posthumously published Journal of a Novel: The East of Eden Letters (1969), Viva Zapata! (1975), The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights (1976), and Working Days: The Journals of The Grapes of Wrath (1989).

Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1962, and, in 1964, he was presented with the United States Medal of Freedom by President Lyndon B. Johnson. Steinbeck died in New York in 1968. Today, more than thirty years after his death, he remains one of America's greatest writers and cultural figures.


Of Mice and Men pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

Over seventy-five years since its first publication, Steinbeck’s tale of commitment, loneliness, hope, and loss remains one of America’s most widely read and taught novels. An unlikely pair, George and Lennie, two migrant workers in California during the Great Depression, grasp for their American Dream. They hustle work when they can, living a hand-to-mouth existence. For George and Lennie have a plan: to own an acre of land and a shack they can call their own. When they land jobs on a ranch in the Salinas Valley, the fulfillment of their dream seems to be within their grasp. But even George cannot guard Lennie from the provocations, nor predict the consequences of Lennie's unswerving obedience to the things George taught him.

Of Mice and Men represents an experiment in form, which Steinbeck described as “a kind of playable novel, written in a novel form but so scened and set that it can be played as it stands.” A rarity in American letters, it achieved remarkable success as a novel, a Broadway play, and three acclaimed films. This edition features an introduction by Susan Shillinglaw, one of today’s leading Steinbeck scholars.

For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Of Mice and Men pdf epub mobi 讀後感

評分

斯坦貝剋的《人鼠之間》,開頭是一幅無差彆的畫麵:自然風光遼遠而靜謐,“疲憊的流浪者在傍晚走下公路,走過小徑到水邊安營紮寨。一棵高大的懸鈴木上長瞭條水平的矮枝,樹枝錶麵早已被人坐得光滑無比,旁邊有一攤經由無數篝火積纍起來的灰燼堆。”其實在蒼穹之下,這無盡又...  

評分

《人鼠之間》,據說在國外非常受推崇,但是坦白說我沒好好讀,隻看瞭一遍,並且是斷斷續續,而且不太仔細。 閱讀偏好,若無特殊原因,我一般不會挑超過200頁的書,年齡越大看東西越慢耐心又越差,越厚的書也沒可能看完。 所以100頁,是我從書架上把它拿下來的最主要原因。 但是...

評分

很薄的一本書,覆蓋的人物不多,時間也很短,隻有三天,情節也很簡單,不像美劇24小時,每個小時都那麼跌宕起伏,扣人心弦。可是放下書,心裏沉甸甸的,灰暗和憂傷,久久揮之不去。 Lennie總是驚惶地問George,我還可以養兔子嗎?是的,兔子。他念念不忘的就是那一窩未來的兔...

評分

“(在開槍時),他不知道——誰都不可能知道——我的無限悔恨和厭倦。”——《小徑分叉的花園》

評分

對我來說太悲觀瞭。

評分

對我來說太悲觀瞭。

評分

好慘啊...是一種介乎於王爾德和餘華之間的悲痛,是既瘦削又豐腴的悲劇。注定毀滅之前的溫情更讓人留戀,Lennie纏著George一遍又一遍的講兔子的事情,講永遠不可能擁有的小塊土地,和用來喂兔子的苜蓿。

評分

我真的覺得這個故事跟劉以達的那首《屎我係一督屎》太配瞭,帶著小人物的願望時常落空的那種心酸。
