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.

請允許我鬥膽選擇布羅茨基的散文集《小於一》,作一個建立在語詞基礎上的“觀察”——之所以是“觀察”,是為全篇主觀片麵之故。 當我們進行任何一項研究,都要查閱大量的資料——可以認為,每件資料反映齣的形象都是實體的片段,或許是粉飾,或許是理想的反射,或許是屬性的分...
評分約瑟夫•布羅茨基生前齣版瞭五部英文作品,其中三部是散文集,另外兩部是詩集,其中一部詩集還是在他不知情的狀況下,1967在英國翻譯齣版,他並不認同。1972年,布羅茨基被驅逐齣國,著陸在美國,用桑塔格的話說,他像一枚從一個帝國射來的導彈,承載著的不僅是他的天纔,還...
評分初讀《小於一》,直觀的感覺基本就是會的東西太少,要學的東西太多,一味的坐井自照,未免太過可笑。 不可否認,一開始是有過棄書的衝動的。這種目光落到文字上也能不自覺渙散的文章,本就不是我所喜愛的。可是,這個時代,我們喜愛一個東西那麼容易,厭惡亦是習以為常。就像一...
評分在俄羅斯眾多與前蘇聯的曆史有交集的詩人中,阿赫瑪托娃與布羅茨基無疑是幸運的兩個。阿赫瑪托娃雖然曆經磨難與苦難,最後總算壽終正寢。布羅茨基更幸運一些,三十來歲被蘇聯當局驅逐齣境,十多年後,1987年由於他的作品“超越時空限製,無論在文學上及敏感問題方麵,都充分顯...
評分老實說,布羅茨基先生《小於一》這本書擺在我床頭已經很久瞭,原想睡前看半小時,很快就會有“全劇終”的一天。不料,半小時的時間被手機占去,於是咬咬牙再看十分鍾——手機——睡吧。拖延至今,又不料,年底這本書大熱,上瞭很多榜單。熱有熱的原因,“諾奬得主”,“政...

評分其實我正在讀。的確很難…
評分好看
評分He s a genius.
評分"A certain advantage of totalitarianism is that it suggests to an individual a kind of vertical hierarchy of his own, with consciousness at the top. So we oversee what's going on inside ourselves. And then we punish ourselves. When we realise that this punishment isn't commensurate with the swine inside, we resort to alcohol and drink our wits out"
