Saul Bellow won the Pulitzer Prize for his novel HUMBOLDT’S GIFT in 1975, and in 1976 was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature ‘for the human understanding and subtle analysis of contemporary culture that are combined in his work.’ He is the only novelist to receive three National Book Awards, for THE ADVENTURES OF AUGIE MARCH, HERZOG, and MR. SAMMLER’S PLANET
BELLOW EVOKES ALL THE RICH COLOR and exotic customs of a highly imaginary Africa in this acclaimed comic novel about a middle-aged American millionaire who, seeking a new, more rewarding life, descends upon an African tribe. Henderson’s awesome feats of strength and his unbridled passion for life win him the admiration of the tribe—but it is his gift for making rain that turns him from mere hero into messiah. A hilarious, often ribald story, Henderson the Rain King is also a profound look at the forces that drive a man through life.
《雨王亨德森》是索尔•贝娄1959年的作品,也是他自己最喜欢的,“唯一一部会拿出来重读”的作品。 有过写作经验的人或许会知道,重读自己的作品其实是一种很微妙的体验。你想读的可能不是自己最“好”的作品——从某种意义上说,不管作品怎样,那个写出了这些文字的自己...
评分我是三月份读的这本书,当时把错误都记在了书上,回头一看,竟然有这么多。 翻译蓝仁哲和责编冯涛真应该负很大的责任。按说谁没有错呢,可是在宋兆霖翻译的《奥吉·马奇历险记》中,我从始至终没有遇到过一个错误,尽管《奥吉·马奇历险记》比《雨王亨德森》厚了一倍...
评分接触的第二本索尔贝娄的作品,相比于《洪堡的礼物》中对城市知识分子精神漩涡的剖析,《雨王亨德森》显然是向所有城市阶层或者说在现代文明下生活的人们提供了一次自我探寻的精神苦旅,也更加易懂。主人公亨德森的存在主义危机一方面是由于机械化复制时代给人们带来的虚幻景观...
评分 评分当代的好作品只是矮子里拔将军。为了在文学上寻求突破,当代作家只能找各种标新立异的手段和角度去证明自己,到头来落得个没站在前人的肩膀上,只能看看能不能亲吻到前人的臀部。 以本作为例,作者以为自己抓住了美国当下的普遍的精神面貌和精神困局,想为世人谋求个圣经启示一...
Healing your soul with Out Of Africa and Galapagos and struggling with your tiresome and normal desires. Bellow is not a trouble that serious literature always stand for, undue contraption and bound to enlarge your vocabulary. It's not he. Anyway, suffering is not a certain but makes you treasure your family even millionaire beckons for proofs.
评分May your troubled soul rest in peace.
评分让人感动。动物隐喻也好:被赶走的马,纽约州的猪,老宅里的猫,马里布的海豹,Arnewi部落的牛,Dahfu生命中的两头狮子,安大略的老熊。死亡与亨德森形影不离,他所见闻的新生又给了他继续生活的力量。一本让我有勇气过下去的书。
评分May your troubled soul rest in peace.
评分了不起的索贝娄
