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.
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.
《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...
評分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...
評分如果在寝室,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,...
評分at first i wondered they were ghost stories.later, i guess they were psychopathic stories. finally, when i finished them, i realized they were simply psychopathic ghost stories. very thrilling one.
評分遭遇非现实 ——关于《螺丝在拧紧》 亨利•詹姆斯的小说《螺丝在拧紧》中有这样一个情节:场景是在湖边,女学生弗洛拉在一旁玩耍,家庭女教师——也就是小说中的叙述者——在陪伴着她的同时做着针线活。在一阵让人浑身颤抖的直觉的痉挛中,女教师相信在湖的对岸有一个鬼魂正...
看得我心驚肉跳。。詹姆斯的語言風格一如既往地沉悶冗長,講齣來的故事卻可以如此驚悚~
评分迷宮般的行文和故事。。
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Henry James在營造氣氛,這是最緻命的。我承認我不是個很好的讀者,理想情況下我應該安安心心地讀完小說,然後玩味H.J的迂迴和曖昧,思考他這麼寫的動機,努力忽略平淡細節之後爆炸性的情況下什麼也沒發現的失望之情。H.J故意不說,他的態度模糊不清,然而正因為不給我們一個明白的確定的俗世的解釋,反而産生瞭巨大的力量。我執拗地想抓住他問個明白,傢庭女教師看見的到底是鬼魂還是她心底某些因為情緒極具波動而産生的幻覺比如阿德拉小姐在馬拉巴山洞裏經曆的一切一樣,可是他閃爍其辭不肯正麵迴答,於是我隻好繼續迴頭尋找。
评分將這部作品界定為心理小說其實過於狹隘。舊屋及鬼魅的設定(The Mysteries of Udolpho)、master和governess的關係(Jane Eyre)都讓人聯想到一些知名前作,而在敘事結構(套中套)、語言風格(迂迴、多義性)、主題(惡的傳染性與天真的失落)、初衷(雜誌刊載的Romantic Gothic)等方麵又與後輩暗相呼應(康拉德)。閱讀的挑戰在於剝開外層敘事者“我”的插話“誤導”及主觀抄錄、Douglas轉述過程中的潛在立場、governess的不可信敘述以及the written statement "in medias res"的性質,在the sanity of the governess和the reality of the ghosts之間進行權衡。
