赫尔曼·麦尔维尔(Herman Melville,1819—1891),美国伟大的小说家和诗人,被誉为美国的“莎士比亚”。代表作有长篇小说《白鲸》、中短篇小说集《阳台故事集》等。
First published in 1856, five years after the appearance of Moby Dick, The Piazza Tales comprises six of Herman Melville's finest short stories. Included are two sea tales that encompass the essence of Melville's art: "Benito Cereno", an exhilarating account of mutiny and rescue aboard a disabled slave ship, which is a parable of man's struggle against the forces of evil, and "The Encantadas", ten allegorical sketches of the Galapagos Islands, which reveal nature to be both enchanting and horrifying. Two pieces explore themes of isolation and defeat found in Melville's great novels: "Bartelby, the Scrivener", a prophetically modern story of alienation and loss on nineteenth-century Wall Street, and "The Bell Tower", a Faustian tale about a Renaissance architect who brings about his own violent destruction. The other two works reveal Melville's mastery of very different writing styles: "The Lightning-Rod Man", a satire showcasing his talent for Dickensian comedy, and "The Piazza", the title story of the collection, which anticipates the author's later absorption with poetry.

评分沈从文曾经和他的学生煞有介事地说:“表现一抽象美丽印象,文字不如绘画,绘画不如数学,数学似乎又不如音乐。”他也在他的文章里郑重地证实这样的说法。但是作为读者我们往往哑然,沈从文小学没毕业,又如何对数学有如此深的领悟。本文自然不是为了拆沈从文的台,也不是为了...
