In 1665 the plague swept through London, claiming over 97,000 lives. Daniel Defoe was just five at the time of the plague, but he later called on his own memories, as well as his writing experience, to create this vivid chronicle of the epidemic and its victims. 'A Journal' (1722) follows Defoe's fictional narrator as he traces the devastating progress of the plague through the streets of London. Here we see a city transformed: some of its streets suspiciously empty, some - with crosses on their doors - overwhelmingly full of the sounds and smells of human suffering. And every living citizen he meets has a horrifying story that demands to be heard.
——《伦敦大瘟疫亲历记》读后 大家都记得英国现代文学的鼻祖丹尼尔·笛福的《鲁宾逊漂流记》可是很少有人提起笛福的另一部作品《伦敦大瘟疫亲历记》,这部常常被人遗忘的经典,用笛福的话来说是:“用另一种囚禁的生活来描绘某一种囚禁生活,用虚构的故...
评分 评分书籍:瘟疫年纪事。 作者:丹尼尔·笛福(写漂流记那个)。 丹尼尔·笛福是个宝藏男孩。 一开始他是名袜商和葡萄酒商人。1685年加入蒙默思公爵的叛军,后者是查理二世的私生子,在国王驾崩时希望让自己登基,反叛失败,笛福毫发无损地逃脱了,没被查出来——1688年骑马向新国王...
评分 评分现在和过去比还是文明太多了,伦敦1665-1666瘟疫几十万的猫狗被处死,管理者要求家里有人感染的都得待在家里并派两个监管人防止逃跑,可有人还是偷溜甚至将监管人杀死;被感染的人家被封门,门上画着红色十字,写上“Lord have Mercy upon us,”当时也有很多谣言,叙述者表示人们听到的骇人听闻的事情总是发生在遥远的城市另一头,而不是谈话者的身边,因此判断这些不可信;还有很多卖假药的庸医。第一人称主人公是个交易马具的H.F.,并非笛福本人;自己经历的找个代理speaker,完全虚构的就非要说是真的……= = 所以1666伦敦大火有可能是因为人们对了净化空气防止感染而烧火烧煤?但重建给失业人口提供了就业机会。最后瘟疫突然神秘地消失,似乎有神干预,但H.F.却并偏向于觉得是自然原因
评分(1722) R4 with Ben Miles /such a imaginative, buoyant and mad person; had a crush on Defoe, with admiration & a smack of pity
评分“The individual story of desperation presses constantly against the official story of common good.”
评分Defoe/叙述者在具体详细真实地叙述瘟疫实况和意识到一切叙事(数字,报表,概述,轶闻)在瘟疫面前都会失效之间的纠结很有趣。在奠定了现代小说的文体之前,笛福采用的叙事手段颇有特色。还有那个在灾难里变形的人颇像卡夫卡的风格。
