The narrator is a young governess, sent off to a country house to take charge of two orphaned children. She finds a pleasant house and a comfortable housekeeper, while the children are beautiful and charming. But she soon begins to feel the presence of intense evil.
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.

评分如果在寝室,在厕所,在食堂,在工作闲暇之余,你正打算讲鬼故事。哦,先生女士们,没什么比这里的开头更合适的开场白了。 我敢向你保证,没什么比这还更好的,没有,绝对找不到。翻遍了书店恐怖故事栏你都不会看到,还有什么比这更合适,你再也找不到的。 你可以找找,当然,...
评分《螺丝在拧紧》的魅力在于1形式结构上:独特的叙事视角:近乎全篇女教师这个不可靠的叙事者,“疯子”的言语总是半真半假,虽然这是回忆,但几乎没有任何反思性的介入和作者客观介入;女教师在寻找真相,读者从女教师寻找真相过程中也在寻找真相,这完美的互相映照;开头引文真...
评分 评分迷宫般的行文和故事。。
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~
评分将这部作品界定为心理小说其实过于狭隘。旧屋及鬼魅的设定(The Mysteries of Udolpho)、master和governess的关系(Jane Eyre)都让人联想到一些知名前作,而在叙事结构(套中套)、语言风格(迂回、多义性)、主题(恶的传染性与天真的失落)、初衷(杂志刊载的Romantic Gothic)等方面又与后辈暗相呼应(康拉德)。阅读的挑战在于剥开外层叙事者“我”的插话“误导”及主观抄录、Douglas转述过程中的潜在立场、governess的不可信叙述以及the written statement "in medias res"的性质,在the sanity of the governess和the reality of the ghosts之间进行权衡。
评分不得不说,HJ真的是大师!!什么题材都得心应手。这本哥特小说看的我吓死了,一开始对结局不太明白,但后来又回头看了一下引子,一切都明显如水了。那个女教师显然是扭曲的爱上了一个仅有十岁的小男孩,强烈的占有欲和精神疾病使她最后将孩子杀死。
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。
