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.
读书笔记110:雨王亨德森 贝娄拿诺贝尔分量最重的一部小说,辛格是用希伯来语写作的,贝娄帮着他翻译成英文。从中也吸收了不少养分。早年我读过他不少短篇,一度我分不清他和辛格的区别。 情节来讲,雨王亨德森比较接近毛姆的刀锋,上个世纪很多欧美对于西方物质文明比较失望,...
评分索尔·贝娄的作品有许多都类似于流浪体小说,至少其中期作品占主要内容,此书中的亨德森即是如此,他都流浪到非洲原始部队去了,但与传统的流浪体小说不同在于,贝娄笔下的流浪者不是用自己的眼睛去观察社会,揭露现实,思考问题。亨德森则是寻找自我,算是自我的心灵流浪之旅...
评分 评分如果从读小说的角度看《雨王亨德森》还是有点累的,描写太干,心理活动太多。但是我知道,这百分之八十是翻译的问题。欧美的长篇小说很多不能让人读完,比如纳博科夫,唯一好读的只有《洛丽塔》。但是又很奇怪,世界上最会讲故事的作家也在他们那儿。 读完小说以后我才深刻明白...
评分了不起的索贝娄
评分May your troubled soul rest in peace.
评分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.
评分浪漫主义~//啊,终于读完了。。。
