评分All too human when they are deluded by the impossible dreams and virtues they of all people should see through and that the sad clichés of fiction do happen and are made to happen repeatedly simply because they are part of the real human condition.
Desire, virtue, courtesans (also known as sing-song girls), and the denizens of Shanghai's pleasure quarters are just some of the elements that constitute Han Bangqing's extraordinary novel of late imperial China. Han's richly textured, panoramic view of late-nineteenth-century Shanghai follows a range of characters from beautiful sing-song girls to lower-class prostitutes and from men in positions of social authority to criminals and ambitious young men recently arrived from the country. Considered one of the greatest works of Chinese fiction, The Sing-song Girls of Shanghai is now available for the first time in English. Neither sentimental nor sensationalistic in its portrayal of courtesans and their male patrons, Han's work inquires into the moral and psychological consequences of desire. Han, himself a frequent habitue of Shanghai brothels, reveals a world populated by lonely souls who seek consolation amid the pleasures and decadence of Shanghai's demimonde. He describes the romantic games played by sing-song girls to lure men, as well as the tragic consequences faced by those who unexpectedly fall in love with their customers. Han also tells the stories of male patrons who find themselves emotionally trapped between desire and their sense of propriety. First published in 1892, and made into a film by Hou Hsiao-hsien in 1998, The Sing-song Girls of Shanghai is recognized as a pioneering work of Chinese fiction in its use of psychological realism and its infusion of modernist sensibilities into the traditional genre of courtesan fiction. The novel's stature has grown with the recent discovery of Eileen Chang's previously unknown translation, which was unearthed among her papers at the University of Southern California. Chang, who lived in Shanghai until 1956 when she moved to California and began to write in English, is one of the most acclaimed Chinese writers of the twentieth century.
1.1《海上奇书》与作者例言 帘月窥人,梦魂惯得无拘检;芸窗辟蠹,正为风流始读书。 民国九年,蒋瑞藻的《小说考证》卷八引《谭瀛室笔记》,说:“专写妓院情形之书以《海上花》为第一发见。” 而《海上花列传》,这部成书于1894年光绪甲午孟春的古典小说,第一回开篇便直接点...
评分人民文学出版社82年版的《海上花列传》,在第五十一回(胸中块《秽史》寄牢骚 眼下钉小蛮争宠眷)开篇,叙述尹痴鸳取出所作的《秽史外编》,众人争先快睹后,有如下脚注: “以上节略《秽史》原文一千二百余字。文章为四六文滥调,是表现尹痴鸳的所谓‘才华’的;因语涉猥亵,...
评分读《海上花》,不出俗套还是从张爱玲的那一线引来。看了惊异之下,竟觉得比《红楼梦》还要好。就好比一个是唱的牡丹亭,一个是演的长生殿。良辰美景听多了,顿时一脸冷水浸下来,一句“妃子呀”倒有讲不出的沉闷和哀苦。又看了张爱玲翻译的国语版《海上花开》及《海上花落》,...
评分据《谭瀛室随笔》载:《海上花列传》“书中人名,大抵皆有所指,熟于同、光间上海名流事实者,类能言之。兹姑举所知者。”他还给出了自己的臆断: “齐韵叟为沈仲馥,史天然为李木斋,赖头鼋为勒元侠,方蓬壶为袁翔父,一说为王紫诠,李实夫为盛朴人,李鹤汀为盛杏荪,黎...
评分在前期的狭邪小说,如《品花宝鉴》(1849年)、《青楼梦》(1878 年)、《绘芳录》(1878年)和《花月痕》(1888年)等“溢美”之作中,作者对妓女的肯定与赞扬表现为其积极从良和修养高深。这个时候作品中的妓女的从良率是很高的。《风月梦》为 20% ;《绘芳录》 为 60% ;《品花宝鉴...
