Henry James, OM, son of theologian Henry James Sr., brother of the philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James, was an American-born author, one of the founders and leaders of a school of realism in fiction. He spent much of his life in England and became a British subject shortly before his death. He is primarily known for a series of major novels in which he portrayed the encounter of America with Europe. His plots centered on personal relationships, the proper exercise of power in such relationships, and other moral questions. His method of writing from the point of view of a character within a tale allowed him to explore the phenomena of consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting.
James insisted that writers in Great Britain and America should be allowed the greatest freedom possible in presenting their view of the world, as French authors were. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and unreliable narrators in his own novels and tales brought a new depth and interest to realistic fiction, and foreshadowed the modernist work of the twentieth century. An extraordinarily productive writer, in addition to his voluminous works of fiction he published articles and books of travel writing, biography, autobiography, and criticism,and wrote plays, some of which were performed during his lifetime with moderate success. His theatrical work is thought to have profoundly influenced his later novels and tales.
《螺丝在拧紧》是美国作家亨利•詹姆斯的一篇名作,据说是哥特小说的代表作,讲了一个匪夷所思的故事。初看这个书名,还以为是一部技术工具书,其实它只是一种寓意,让人恐惧的故事就象不断拧紧的螺丝,越来越紧,到尽头之前只能朝一个方向发展,以形象紧张程度的上升。 故...

评分1、可能并没有鬼,女家庭教师精神有问题,鬼是她臆造的,证据之一就是其中一次她和小女孩,女管家同时在场的时候,身边两位都没有看到。女管家是个迷信心理很重的人,所以一听女家庭教师说见鬼了就附和也是有的。 2、女家庭教师和小男孩有暧昧吧?也许有实质性的性关系发生也...

评分这是一本心理恐怖小说:闹鬼的故事。 早在6、7年前,我就在图书馆翻过本书,04年的人民文学版。由于时间关系,只对书名很有印象,最终也没读成。这次出了新版,感谢多看赠阅,又让我想起这部“The Turn of the Screw”。 鉴于本书情节比较离奇,对其表达意图的解读也很多,在此...

评分用重複的場景設置營造恐懼並興奮的情緒,覺得刻意
评分???结尾太突然了吧
评分Henry James在营造气氛,这是最致命的。我承认我不是个很好的读者,理想情况下我应该安安心心地读完小说,然后玩味H.J的迂回和暧昧,思考他这么写的动机,努力忽略平淡细节之后爆炸性的情况下什么也没发现的失望之情。H.J故意不说,他的态度模糊不清,然而正因为不给我们一个明白的确定的俗世的解释,反而产生了巨大的力量。我执拗地想抓住他问个明白,家庭女教师看见的到底是鬼魂还是她心底某些因为情绪极具波动而产生的幻觉比如阿德拉小姐在马拉巴山洞里经历的一切一样,可是他闪烁其辞不肯正面回答,于是我只好继续回头寻找。
评分看得我心惊肉跳。。詹姆斯的语言风格一如既往地沉闷冗长,讲出来的故事却可以如此惊悚~
