In 1937 Ernest Hemingway traveled to Spain to cover the civil war there for the North American Newspaper Alliance. Three years later he completed the greatest novel to emerge from "the good fight," "For Whom the Bell Tolls." The story of Robert Jordan, a young American in the International Brigades attached to an antifascist guerilla unit in the mountains of Spain, it tells of loyalty and courage, love and defeat, and the tragic death of an ideal. In his portrayal of Jordan's love for the beautiful Maria and his superb account of El Sordo's last stand, in his brilliant travesty of La Pasionaria and his unwillingness to believe in blind faith, Hemingway surpasses his achievement in "The Sun Also Rises" and "A Farewell to Arms" to create a work at once rare and beautiful, strong and brutal, compassionate, moving and wise. "If the function of a writer is to reveal reality," Maxwell Perkins wrote to Hemingway after reading the manuscript, "no one ever so completely performed it." Greater in power, broader in scope, and more intensely emotional than any of the author's previous works, it stands as one of the best war novels of all time.
【藏書閣打卡】查到John Donne有一首非常著名的詩叫《沒有人是一座孤島》,後來被美國硬漢派貓奴海明威引用其中一句寫瞭一部反戰小說《喪鍾為誰而鳴》。以西班牙內戰為背景,以一誌願參與內戰的美國青年為完成炸橋任務而展開整個故事,全書隻是講述為期三天的一切,卻仿佛過瞭...
評分羅伯特在他最後的時光中反復告訴自己,他還想活下去,因為他在這三天的進步太多瞭,他想做個老人,把自己學到的傳下去,告訴彆人,影響彆人。 這裏麵有生的渴望,有生的喜悅,也有生的意義。人皆傳聞海明威的一生中最著迷的是“死”這個詞,我看這不簡單。死和生就像陰和陽,隻...

評分前一陣剛剛溫習瞭《老子》。裏麵有“天地不仁,以萬物為芻狗”。是說天地無所偏愛,任萬物自為,錢锺書解道,“乃天地無心而不相關,非天地忍心而不憫惜。”(《管錐編》第二冊)這句話成瞭老子無神論的重要證據。我當時覺得老子真難能可貴,老早就看齣瞭自然的本性。這次的...
評分天哪,自己二十幾歲讀過愛過的書居然多數是盜版!可憐我買書並沒少花一分錢,那時候,不知道有盜版這迴事。可見高等教育教齣瞭多少傻子。 最初迷上海明威的原因很簡單,讀他的原版書,不用上氣不接下氣地翻辭典查生詞,我是個超懶的學生,曠課時間遠遠超過上課時間,上課時看...
