What does it mean when a fictional hero takes a journey?. Shares a meal? Gets drenched in a sudden rain shower? Often, there is much more going on in a novel or poem than is readily visible on the surface -- a symbol, maybe, that remains elusive, or an unexpected twist on a character -- and there's that sneaking suspicion that the deeper meaning of a literary text keeps escaping you.
In this practical and amusing guide to literature, Thomas C. Foster shows how easy and gratifying it is to unlock those hidden truths, and to discover a world where a road leads to a quest; a shared meal may signify a communion; and rain, whether cleansing or destructive, is never just rain. Ranging from major themes to literary models, narrative devices, and form, How to Read Literature Like a Professor is the perfect companion for making your reading experience more enriching, satisfying, and fun.
Thomas C. Foster studied English at Dartmouth College and then Michigan State University. He has been a professor of literature and writing since 1975, the last twenty-one years at the University of Michigan–Flint. In that time, he's learned more about literature from his students than in all the classes he's taken over the years. He is the author of the New York Times bestselling How to Read Novels Like a Professor and How to Read Literature Like a Professor.
阅读是一种乐趣,平铺在纸面上的文字,一经过你的阅读,却活跃为一个场景、一个人物、一种声音,这个由静到动的过程,你体验到的就是这么一种乐趣。 文学作品中,作者安排了角色和情结,让读者跟着他的文字,按照他预设的构想,一步一步把我们引入他所创造的奇妙世界里。我们跟...
评分中级部分的书目都是一些参考书,很多没有中译本,行文里不附英文原名真是超不方便啊。 于是对照英文版做了这个书单,方便查找。 列单时发现,除了顺序不同,中文版里差了一本书,还译错了一个作者 (⊙﹏⊙)b。 英文版使用的 HarperCollins 2014版,顺序书目都以英文版为准。 1...
评分作者一直提到“让读着的阅读经历能收获更多体验”。 一位教授的娓娓道来,没有说教,没有强迫,每一个观点都悉心讲述。读完这一本,确实有很大的兴致去尝试这种新的体验。 当然,全新的体验不是想有就能冒出来,需要日积月累,需要细心认真。 让我想起,以前很讨厌语文课上,老...

评分There is only one story, the human story!
评分偶然在书店看到的,发现还不错就拿来读了。看完之后最大的感受是自己认识的单词和读过的书太少了。不过有差不多一半的人名和书名还是听说过的,因此感觉还不是太差。自己目前的水平还没法判断这书讲得靠不靠谱,不过的确给我提供了很多新的思路。这书作为高考语文辅导书也许不错?美国的确有高中把这本书作为“必读书目”之一的。继续努力吧
