約瑟夫·康拉德,全名約瑟夫·特奧多·康拉德·科爾澤尼奧夫斯基,生於波蘭的英國小說傢,是少數以非母語寫作而能成名的作傢,被譽為現代主義的先驅。年青時當海員,中年纔改行寫作,作品包括《黑暗之心》(1899年)、《吉姆老爺》(1900年)、《密探》(1907年)等。
'Whenever two Russians come together, the shadow of autocracy is with them...haunting the secret of their silences.' First published in 1911, Under Western Eyes traces the experiences of Razumov, a young Russian student of philosophy who is uninvolved in politics or protest. Against his will he finds himself caught up in the aftermath of a terrorist bombing directed against the Tsarist authorities. He is pulled in different directions - by his conscience and his ambitions, by powerful opposed political forces, but most of all by personal emotions he is unable to suppress. Set in St Petersburg and Geneva, the novel is in part a critical response to Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment but it is also a startlingly modern book. Viewed through the 'Western eyes' of Conrad's English narrator, Razumov's story forces the reader to confront the same moral issues: the defensibility of terrorist resistance to tyranny, the loss of individual privacy in a surveillance society, and the demands thrown up by the interplay of power and knowledge. This new edition is based on the first English edition text, and has a new chronology and bibliography.

開頭的一段話讓我斷定他能走進我的心。 “It (being a teacher of languages) is an occupation which at length becomes fatal to whatever share of imagination, observation, and insight an ordinary person may be heir to. To a teacher of languages, there comes a ti...
評分我認為某種程度上,拉祖莫夫正有那些徘徊在20世紀曆史中人們的影子。在本書的開頭,他仿佛具有一種真正樂觀的自主性,他覺得可以通過自己的努力開啓一條自我選擇的道路。但事實卻是,當他打開公寓門的一刹那,20世紀的曆史就像一個鬼魅一樣站在門口,手裏拿著一根繩索,那架勢...
評分 評分偉大的作傢隻能小心翼翼模仿。為瞭語言流暢,為瞭讀起來曉暢明白,譯者妄自揣測調整語言的意思與節奏,這是對讀者閱讀能力的低估,損害的不僅是作品精湛的defamiliaration(陌生化)與foregrounded(前景化)等語言修辭魅力,更是原著圓融而精深的整體思想意蘊。 雖然比全然粗...

評分Conrad真是個厲害人物,這種“諜戰/反恐”題材竟然也能如此不落俗套(當然稱其為“政治小說”或許更靠譜些),除瞭體現齣Conrad本人的政治觀外,最核心的還是身份焦慮與個人認同危機吧,至於傳說中的“印象主義”還真沒怎麼看齣來
