This is the classic collection of Chinua Achebe's short fiction, written over twenty years and drawn from literary journals and magazines, to be made available to the wider public. The earliest, "Marriage is a Private Affair" (1952), dates back to his student days at Ibadan, Nigeria, while the latest, "Vengeful Creditor" and "Civil Peace" (1971), are stories of the Nigerian civil war. "Girls at War", the title story, is about the tragic effects of war on the civilian population, in particular on one girl, who sets out with high ideals which vanish as the war drags on and the need for food replaces the need for ideals. This collection provides an interesting cross-section of Achebe's work and the development of his key themes and distinctive style against the significant historical and political backdrop of Africa in the decades between 1952 and 1972.

尼日利亞作傢,1930年生於尼日利亞,代錶作有《這個世界土崩瓦解瞭》《再也不得安寜》等。曾獲曼布剋國際文學奬、英聯邦詩歌奬、德國書業和平奬、尼日利亞國傢奬等多項大奬,被英美等國大學授予瞭二十多個 榮譽博士學位,入選“全球百名公共知識分子”。
世界文壇,著名作傢浩瀚如海,但每每提及“世界”者,幾乎都是歐美作傢,至多再加上泰戈爾、帕慕剋、川端康成、馬爾剋斯等少數些人,其實這也是諾貝爾文學奬加成的效果。不得不說,話語權實在是個過於強大的武器,以至於可以在每一個領域發揮威力。 說瞭這麼多,其實是想說,非...
評分 評分書倒是挺易讀的,一會兒就翻完瞭。 可是,總覺得沒能入戲。 不知道是不是非洲人民的文學風格跟我不太匹配,覺得這些短篇的主題都挺單一的,總是圍繞非洲的迷信、基督教的入侵、底層人民的生活掙紮,死亡。語言很淺顯,描述手法也比較粗綫條。 嗯,隨手翻翻。
