The fiftieth anniversary of a lost classica deceptively sophisticated tale of sexual compulsion and one man’s flight from love Yasha Mazur is a Houdini-like performer whose skill has made him famous throughout eastern Poland. Half Jewish, half Gentile, a freethinker who slips easily between worlds, Yasha has an observant Jewish wife, a Gentile assistant who travels with him, and a mistress in every town. For Yasha is an escape artist not only onstage but in life, a man who lives under the spell of his own hypnotic effect on women. Now, though, his exploits are catching up with him, and he is tempted to make one final escapefrom his wife and his homeland and the last tendrils of his father’s religion. Set in Warsaw and the shtetls of the 1870sbut first published in 1960Isaac Bashevis Singer’s second novel hides a haunting psychological portrait inside a beguiling parable. At its heart, this is a book about the burden of sexual freedom. As such, it belongs on a small shelf with such mid-century classics as Rabbit, Run ; The Adventures of Augie March ; and The Moviegoer . As Milton Hindus wrote in The New York Times Book Review , The pathos of the ending may move the reader to tears, but they are not sentimental tears . . . [Singer] is a writer of far greater than ordinary powers.”
艾萨克·巴什维斯·辛格(Isaac Bashevis Singer,1904-1991),美国著名犹太裔作家,先后创作长篇小说《莫斯卡特一家》,《庄园》,《农庄》等。短片小说《羽毛的王冠》,《短片小说集》,《意象集》等。其中1978年《卢布林的魔术师》获得当年诺贝尔文学奖。
辛格15岁开始文学创作,曾先后两次获美国全国图书奖,多次获得美国其他文学奖金。他一生共创作30余部作品。辛格“因为他的充满激情的叙事艺术,这种艺术既扎根于波兰犹太人的文化传统,又反映了人类的普遍处境”。
作品中的丰富成语和活泼语句受到评论界高度赞扬,认为那是任何译文都无法传达的。
“他充满激情的叙事艺术,扎根于波兰犹太人的文化传统,反映了人类的普遍处境。”不知道是因为诺贝尔的殿堂深不可测,还是因为我这么一个工作机器太久没有读书的原因,我总觉得这部小说并没有像这些溢美之词说的那么好。 我突然想到之前在工地上读加缪的《鼠疫》,读《局外人》...
评分去九寨沟和黄龙的路上,始终在读小说《卢布林的魔术师》。 选择读《卢布林的魔术师》是基于它是 “既扎根于波兰犹太人的文化传统。又反映了人类的普遍处境”的激情叙事艺术的代表者、1978年诺奖得主艾萨克•巴什维斯•辛格(Isaac Bashevis Singer)的作品,选择去九寨沟...
评分一提到俄罗斯小说,我们首先想到的就是陀思妥耶夫斯基、托尔斯泰或者屠格涅夫,也会想到契诃夫,会想到那些酒徒、扒手、街头艺人口中不意间提到的灵魂,那个词从他们的口中出来,总能不意间将他们褴褛的身体照亮,让整个生命跃出纸外。我们会想到那大篇大篇的灵魂拷问,我该怎...
评分很久以前喜欢李泉的一首名字叫《走钢索的人》的歌,里面有句歌词这样写到,“往前是解脱,后退是自由。我应不应该回头?”我觉得这句歌词来形容书中的雅夏再合适不过。书中的主人公雅夏,是个职业的魔术师,在他众多的绝技中,走钢丝就是其一。要出色的完成这项表演最大的诀窍...
评分疑惑。虽然从外表看,他跟他们毫无分别,但其实他跟他们中间隔着一道屏障。这屏障到底是什么,他怎么也说不清楚。他野心勃勃,有的是干劲,却常常会陷入哀伤,感觉一切都很空虚。不知道为何而生,为何而死。 苦难。他失去了一切,精神恍惚,身体受伤,感情受挫,名声败坏,事业...
他内心的各种纠结很生动 可是皈依宗教是救赎之道?
