约翰•斯坦贝克(John Steinbeck, 1902-1968),美国文学家,1962年获诺贝尔文学奖。
一生共创作27部作品,其中包括喜剧小说《罐头厂街》,跨类型作品《伊甸之东》,普利策奖获奖作品《愤怒的葡萄》,旅行作品《横越美国》等。
斯坦贝克是地位崇高的文学大 师,也是最受美国民众喜爱的畅销作家。他1968年过世之后,作品每年仍持续卖出两百万册,累计迄今已将近一亿册,其中超过半数是《愤怒的葡萄》《人鼠之间》这两部代表作。
斯坦贝克之所以深受美国人民欢迎,主要是因为他描写的人物正是最基层的社会大众。他刻画出他们面对困境时所展现出来的人性光辉:善良,同情,以及为生存而奋斗的勇气。
《人鼠之间》是美国中学10部必读经典之一,可谓一部真正的文学经典。
Of Mice and Men is a novella by Nobel Prize winning author John Steinbeck, first published in 1937, which tells the tragic story of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced Anglo migrant ranch workers in California during the Great Depression.
Based on Steinbeck's own experience as a bindle stiff in the 1920s (before the arrival of the Okies he would vividly describe in The Grapes of Wrath), the title is taken from Robert Burns's famous poem, To a Mouse, which is often quoted as: "The best-laid plans of mice and men go oft awry." Though it remains required reading in many American, Australian, British, New Zealand and Canadian high schools, Of Mice and Men has been the frequent target of censors for what some consider "offensive" and "vulgar" language, and appears on the American Library Association's list of the Most Challenged Books of 21st Century.
i don't know if steinback did this deliberately or not, but carson, crooks, curley, curley's wife, candy all begin with C as if the author put them together as a group of lonely people, or perhaps suggest that life is like a circle... anyway, really enjoy...
评分 评分《人鼠之间》是诺贝尔文学奖得主约翰•斯坦贝克的代表作,尚未出版就被“每月图书俱乐部”选中。该书出版后,比坦贝克之前任何一本书都更受好评。《纽约时报》称其为“一部伟大的小书”。 这部小说遭到美国多所公立、学校图书馆以及课程委员会禁止,被禁止的原因是“宣扬安乐...
评分约翰·斯坦倍克的小说。很旧的书。81年漓江出版社的版本。薄薄的一小本。 六个章节。很有场景感。George和Lennie。两个流浪的雇工。关于土地的幻想和破灭。纯真的过失和暴力的无常,只是空有躯壳的弱者。 死亡终于成了必然,不管走向结束的过程有多么诙谐幽默。那些让人发笑...
评分《人鼠之间》,据说在国外非常受推崇,但是坦白说我没好好读,只看了一遍,并且是断断续续,而且不太仔细。 阅读偏好,若无特殊原因,我一般不会挑超过200页的书,年龄越大看东西越慢耐心又越差,越厚的书也没可能看完。 所以100页,是我从书架上把它拿下来的最主要原因。 但是...
