Here is a book as joyous and painful, and as mysterious and memorable, as childhood itself. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings captures the longing of lonely children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make the world right. Maya Angelou’s first memoir, published in 1969 is a modern American classic beloved worldwide.
Sent by their mother to their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local “powhitetrash.” When she journeys at eight to her mother’s side in St. Louis, she is attacked by a man many times her age. Years later, in San Francisco, she learns about love for herself–and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. The kindness of others, Maya’s own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors (“I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare”) will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned.
Poetic and powerful–now in a beautiful keepsake edition– I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings will touch hearts and change minds as long as people read.
第一次深深地感受到美国黑人在解放之后的世界是仍然多么残酷的
评分英文版读的时间长了也就不烧脑了
评分几年前第一次读到Maya Angelou的《Still I Rise》时,我被这首诗的词和气势打动了,一个黑人女性在白人为主导的世界里要想生存以及实现自己的抱负,可想而知,多么难,幸而她坚持✊,成长以来的故事汇聚成一首拼搏的诗,Still I Rise.
评分如此细腻和真实的视角,不掩饰不美化,简单的文字看到人格的强大。她和哥哥的童年乐趣,被妈妈的男友性侵,她的阅读经历,无家可归和她怀疑自己是否女同,这些都特别触动我。
评分再深的苦难,也讲述得波澜不惊。
