Here is a book as joyous and painful, and as mysterious and memorable, as childhood itself. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings captures the longing of lonely children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make the world right. Maya Angelou’s first memoir, published in 1969 is a modern American classic beloved worldwide.

Sent by their mother to their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local “powhitetrash.” When she journeys at eight to her mother’s side in St. Louis, she is attacked by a man many times her age. Years later, in San Francisco, she learns about love for herself–and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. The kindness of others, Maya’s own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors (“I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare”) will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned.

Poetic and powerful–now in a beautiful keepsake edition– I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings will touch hearts and change minds as long as people read.

2010年10月的一个晚上,收到博达著作权代理公司的一封邮件,那是一份我平日里很少会打开的新书目录。但当时我心里有一种奇妙的预感。我打开了,看到了玛雅•安吉洛这个名字。 我认识她。 思绪瞬间回到了十年前。2000年,我读到并翻译了玛雅•安吉洛的《清晨的脉搏》(On th...

我手头的是Bantam 1971版的,封底有James Baldwin的书评: This testimony from a Black sister marks the beginning of a new era...Her portrait is a Biblical study of life in the midst of death." Baldwin从14岁就做store front preacher,但受了继父等人对基督教的失望...

英文版读的时间长了也就不烧脑了。大学时教过一个爱尔兰外教汉语,一次在她家里,她朋友给我推荐Maya,后来在准备考研的过程中在美国文学简史上读到过她的书。再后来,在菲律宾做汉语教师志愿者时,得知她过世的消息,内心还有一些波澜。2017年5月,真正开始读她的自传作品,没...

前一阵子,微博上的好友们一直在推广一本新的译作——玛雅•安吉洛的《我知道笼中鸟为何歌唱》(于霄、王笑红译)。我也没太在意,至于是否顺手转了一下也忘了。过了些时候,一天早上,师姐从家里回来,塞给我一本书,译者的赠书,正是这本《我知道笼中鸟为何歌唱》。书的译...

#讀書# 好看!是觸碰人心的writing,不矯揉造作,也不失幽默,但是確是悲傷的故事。

一年半前看的,現在纔補完,足以看齣我其實沒什麼興趣。語言相當優美,隻不過前麵小女孩的見解真是挺無聊的,到後麵倒感到一下子變風格瞭,特彆是最後兩章。"The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerence. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance."(272)

上世紀三四十年代的美國南部小鎮,塵土飛揚的炎夏永無盡頭,黑人們撿拾棉花,一貧如洗,白人似乎是另一個世界的生物,而祖母經營的一間便利店成瞭唯一的庇護所。Maya Angelo透過童年的自己,輕描淡寫地記錄下割裂的世界,和窘迫生活中的樂趣與微光。

第一次深深地感受到美國黑人在解放之後的世界是仍然多麼殘酷的
