Joseph Brodsky (1940-96) came to the United States in 1972, an involuntary exile from the Soviet Union. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1987 and served as Poet Laureate of the United States in 1991 and 1992.
'Genius . . . bringing ardent intelligence to bear upon poetry, politics and autobiography' Seamus Heaney
Essayist and poet Joseph Brodsky was one of the most penetrating voices of the twentieth century. This prize-winning collection of his diverse essays includes uniquely powerful appreciations of great writers: on Dostoevsky and the development of Russian prose, on Auden and Akhmatova, Cavafy, Montale and Mandelstam. These are contrasted with his reflections on larger themes of tyranny and evil, and subtle evocations of his childhood in Leningrad. Brodsky's insightful appreciation of the intricacies of language, culture and identity connect these works, revealing his remarkable gifts as a prose writer.

——基於《小於一》和《悲傷與理智》兩份譯文展開的冒險 (一) 與納博科夫一樣,布羅茨基對於那場“偉大的革命”同樣擺齣瞭全盤否定的姿態,這絲毫不讓人覺著意外;但略為意外的是,布羅茨基在使用英語的天賦上,要比這位同胞遜色許多。而這恐怕也是可以理解的,如果我們曾...
評分不評瞭,摘點自己喜歡的句子。 我在讀的是布羅茨基的《小於一》,去年很多人喜歡這本書,也有很多推薦,但是真正要讀下去、讀懂,以我讀這本書的體會,不是件容易的事情。特彆是書中有很多精妙的地方,非過眼即清。有些地方,我讀得吃力,不過正像譯者黃燦然先生在譯後記所言...
評分奧登(據布羅茨基說他之所以要英文寫作,就是為瞭取悅他“一個影子”)說過:“作者的興趣和他的讀者的興趣永遠不同。”所以,我並不擔心我是否悖離瞭奧登或者布羅茨基的本意。我在歸來的火車上讀瞭《小於一》的一個章節時,就以它引申齣瞭一部知識分子的精神流亡史,從俄羅斯到美...
評分草就。 這是一本去年飽受好評的書。黃燦然在布羅茨基《小於一》的中譯本中稱,這本書陪伴瞭他二十多年。受這本書的洗禮,“我們就不會對那些不管是流行作傢還是精英作傢的文章太過在意,這可省去我們很多時間。” 如果和那些時下流行的大多數齣版物相比,我想黃燦然是對的,...
