具体描述

Autobiographically inspired, Rhys created stories of the slightly adrift every woman looking for an anchor in a cold, hostile landscape. Her heroine in Voyage in the Dark is Anna Morgan, a young woman in her late teens, relocated to England from her beloved home in the West Indies. She works as a chorus girl, traveling the country to dank boarding rooms and shabby theaters. Fortune seems to grab her one day in the shape of a wealthy, older man who sets her up in London, calling for her as his needs dictate. Anna falls in love with him, and allows herself to rely on him totally. When he grows tired of her, she begins a long spiraling decline. This is poignant, tense writing by the woman whom A. Alvarez called "the best living English novelist."

作者简介

Jean Rhys was born in Dominica in 1890, the daughter of a Welsh doctor and a white Creole mother. She came to England when she was sixteen and then drifted into a series of jobs - chorus girl, mannequin, artist's model - after her father died.

She began to write when the first of her three marriages broke up. She was in her thirties by then, and living in Paris, where she was encouraged by Ford Madox Ford, who also discovered D. H. Lawrence. Ford wrote an enthusiastic introduction to her first book in 1927, a collection of stories called The Left Bank. This was followed by Quartet (originally Postures,, 1928), After Leaving Mr Mackenzie (1930), Voyage in the Dark (1934) and Good Morning, Midnight (1939). None of these books was particularly successful, perhaps because they were decades ahead of their time in theme and tone, dealing as they did with women as underdogs, exploited and exploiting their sexuality. With the outbreak of war and subsequent failure of Good Morning, Midnight, the books went out of print and Jean Rhys literally dropped completely from sight. It was generally thought that she was dead. Nearly twenty years later she was rediscovered, largely due to the enthusiasm of the writer Francis Wyndham. She was living reclusively in Cornwall, and during those years had accumulated the stories collected in Tigers are Better-Looking.

In 1966 she made a sensational reappearance with Wide Sargasso Sea, which won the Royal Society of Literature Award and the W. H. Smith Award in 1966, her only comment on the latter being that 'It has come too late'. Her final collection of stories, Sleep It Off Lady, appeared in 1976 and Smile Please, her unfinished autobiography, was published posthumously in 1979. She was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 1966 and a CBE in 1978.

Jean Rhys, described by A. Alvarez as 'one of the finest British writers of this century', died in 1979.

读后感

也许“无知少女堕落记”这几个字可以简单把故事情节概括完毕。可是，我觉得读这本书更多的是认识到Anna漂泊在他乡，面对自己身份认知的苦恼、挣扎。由一个英语殖民地来到英国，她被房东踢走，是房东的偏见还是真的是Anna本身的原因导致她被踢走，小说并没有明确说出来。现代主...

用户评价

我必须说，《暗影航程》这本书的叙事节奏把握得非常出色。有时候，它会让你感受到一种紧张到令人窒息的压迫感，每一个字句都仿佛蕴藏着某种不祥的预兆。而有时候，它又会放缓脚步，让你沉浸在角色内心深处的思绪和情感之中。这种张弛有度的叙事方式，让我在阅读过程中始终保持着高度的专注。我从来不会觉得枯燥乏味，反而会被作者巧妙的布局所吸引，迫不及待地想知道接下来会发生什么。它就像一场精心编排的戏剧，每一个转折都恰到好处。

读完《暗影航程》之后，我脑海里久久不能平静。这本书最让我着迷的是它对人物心理的深度挖掘。虽然我不能具体说出发生了什么，但可以肯定的是，书中的角色绝非扁平的纸片人。他们的动机、他们的恐惧、他们的希望，都被描绘得如此真实，以至于你会在不经意间发现自己与他们产生了共鸣。那种在困境中，人性的善与恶、理智与情感的较量，被作者刻画得入木三分。有时候，你会忍不住为他们的选择感到担忧，有时候，你又会对他们展现出的勇气感到震撼。这种对人性的深刻洞察，让我对这本书的喜爱又增添了几分。

这绝对是我近几年来读到过最具想象力的一本书了。《暗影航程》成功地构建了一个我从未想象过的世界，一个充满了未知和奇迹的世界。作者的想象力简直如同脱缰的野马，却又能在文字中收放自如，将那些奇诡的景象描绘得栩栩如生。我感觉自己仿佛穿越到了另一个时空，亲身经历着那些不可思议的事件。它不仅仅是一次简单的阅读，更像是一次心灵的探险。那些超乎寻常的元素，与角色内心的挣扎巧妙地融合在一起，构成了一幅令人目眩神迷的画卷。

天哪，我最近读到一本简直让人无法释卷的书，名字叫《暗影航程》。虽然我不能透露具体的情节，但我想说，这本书的氛围营造简直绝了！作者在描绘那种压抑、迷失、又带着一丝诡异的氛围时，运用了极其细腻的笔触。我仿佛能闻到海上的湿咸味，感受到海风拂面的冰凉，甚至能听到远处海鸥的哀鸣。那种身处未知、前路渺茫的感觉，被刻画得淋漓尽致。它不是那种一眼就能看穿的冒险故事，而是一种深入骨髓的体验。你会感觉到角色的内心在挣扎，在被黑暗吞噬，但同时又有一丝微弱的光芒在闪烁，支撑着他们继续前行。这种情感的拉扯，让我几乎屏住了呼吸。

总而言之，《暗影航程》是一部能够触及灵魂的作品。它并没有用华丽的辞藻去堆砌，也没有用惊悚的情节去哗众取宠。相反，它以一种沉静而有力的方式，探讨了一些关于生命、关于选择、关于存在的深刻命题。读完之后，我感觉自己对周遭的世界，甚至对人生，都有了一些新的理解。它给我带来的不仅仅是阅读的乐趣，更是一种精神上的启发。这本书就像一盏微弱的灯，在漆黑的夜晚，照亮了前行的道路，虽然路途依旧未知，但至少，我不再感到那么孤单和迷茫。

无知少女的呓语，殖民者后代的惨淡归乡，叙述主体的反面是中年白人男性的轻浮爱情，如同一场不负责任的殖民游戏。性别与政治的互文性。

第一次读懂了意识流的奥妙，从此完全读进一个人的思想，在完全不同的人的大脑里观察同一个世界成为一种addiction
