多年前读了中文译本,没什么感觉。这次读的是英文原著,很被震撼。这说明翻译确实是很难的。
评分能把一个普通人的生活写得这么生动而且真实,不夸张不造作不离奇,但同时又能引人入胜,这非常难得。
评分Stoner's heroism is delicately intertwined with his bitter failures, it is a secret power that makes him invulnerable. After all, he has achieved everything he truly treasured throughout his life. Yes, that power is his ever-lasting desire and never-dying awe towards beauty, knowledge and love itself.
评分近来大热的一本旧书 确实带着过去年代的克制和优美。一生不过某些片断而已 然后就过去了。
评分不会再有一本书有这么俗的作者名字这么平淡的故事但读的时候让人放不下来看完了以后难受了好几天. 是不是因为我们太习惯了英雄传奇高潮迭起反而会忘了大部分人的生活就只是这样追求自己想要的 然后失去得到 在大事件里起起伏伏 活着没啥死了也没啥人知道. 但有多少人能像他一样执着追求乃至到最后无欲无求...
John Williams was born on August 29, 1922 in Clarksville, Texas. He served in the United States Army Air Force from 1942 to 1945 in China, Burma and India. The Swallow Press published his first novel, Nothing But the Night, in 1948, as well as his first book of poems, The Broken Landscape, in 1949. Macmillan published Williams' second novel, Butcher's Crossing, in 1960. After recieving his B.A. and M.A. from the University of Denver, and his Ph.D from the University of Missouri, Williams returned in 1954 to the University of Denver where he taught literature and the craft of writing for thirty years. In 1963 Williams received a fellowship to study at Oxford University where where he received a Rockefeller grant enabling him to travel and research in Italy for his last novel, Augustus, published in 1972. John Williams died in Arkansas on March 4, 1994.
William Stoner is born at the end of the nineteenth century into a dirt-poor Missouri farming family. Sent to the state university to study agronomy, he instead falls in love with English literature and embraces a scholar’s life, so different from the hardscrabble existence he has known.
And yet as the years pass, Stoner encounters a succession of disappointments: marriage into a “proper” family estranges him from his parents; his career is stymied; his wife and daughter turn coldly away from him; a transforming experience of new love ends under threat of scandal. Driven ever deeper within himself, Stoner rediscovers the stoic silence of his forebears and confronts an essential solitude.
John Williams's luminous and deeply moving novel is a work of quiet perfection. William Stoner emerges from it not only as an archetypal American, but as an unlikely existential hero, standing, like a figure in a painting by Edward Hopper, in stark relief against an unforgiving world.

评分多年以前我听一个老奶奶讲她的人生故事。她说,在收到女儿车祸噩耗的那天,她把自己关在屋子里,没有哭,只是静静坐着。当门再次打开时,已是神色如常,前来吊唁的人什么安慰的话都说不出来,只能叹口气回去。 她解释在那间屋子里发生了什么,说:“我把我自己的一部...
评分之前还在说着没有好时机读这本书,然后就忽然来了,是天冷了,戴着新买的耳机躺床上听,我的泪点总在那些关于过去的闪回的片段:噢,还记得那时候我们下课一起去喝酒吗。 1 Stoner被作者John Williams称作"an escape into reality",是逃入不是逃离,很奇怪对不对? 这本书在成...
评分by 谷立立 哈罗德•布鲁姆在论及塞万提斯时,使用了“人生如戏”的断语。因为就算《堂吉诃德》为塞万提斯赚得无数好评,却依然不能解决作家的温饱。“他除了要养活自己和家庭外别无什么雄心大志,他的剧作家生涯则是个失败。他的才情不在写诗,而体现在《堂吉诃德》之中。”...
评分斯通纳是农家之子,性格木讷,甚至有点怯懦。本来父母给他安排的未来是到大学读完农业后回家打理农庄。但是,一门英语选修课彻底改变了他。在课堂上,他听到了莎士比亚隔着三百年对他的召唤。于是,他改变了专业,背弃了父母的规划,并在几年后成为了一名大学英语教师。 但是...
