美国著名评论家埃德蒙.威尔逊曾这样简.奥斯丁:"英国文学史上出现过几次趣味革命,文学口味的翻新几乎影响了所有作家的声誉,唯独莎士比亚和简.奥斯丁经久不衰。"《理智与情感》简.奥斯丁最富幽默情趣的作品之一,主要讲述的是生活在英国乡绅家庭中的艾利洛和梅莉爱两姐妹曲折复杂的恋爱结婚的故事。姐姐艾利洛善于用理智控制感情,妹妹梅莉爱对爱情充满幻想,也因此两人面对爱情的时候,做出了截然不同的反应......小说通过这种"理智与情感"的幽默对比,提出了道德与行为的规范问题,引人深思。《理智与情感》与作者的另一名作《傲慢与偏见》堪称姐妹篇,曾多次被搬上大银幕。由华人导演李安根据该部小说执导的同名电影获得了极高的评价,荣获了包括奥斯卡最佳影片提名,柏林电影节金熊奖,金球奖最佳影片、最佳编剧等多个奖项,足见这部小说的影响力之广。("Revolutions of interest have occurred for several times in the history of British literature, and the changes in literary taste have influenced the reputation of almost all writers, except for the long-standing fame of Shakespeare and Jane Austen."Edmund Wilson, a famous American critic, once appraised Jane Austenin this way. Sense and Sensibility is one of her works with the most sense of humor.The novel portrays the complicated love and marriage stories ofElinor and Marianne, sisters in a country gentlemen family. The elder sister Elinoris good at controlling emotion by senses while the younger Marianne is romantically...
《傲慢与偏见(插图本)》是简奥斯丁的代表作。这部作品以日常生活为素材,一反当时社会上流行的感伤小说的内容和矫揉造作的写作方法,生动地反映了18世纪末到19世纪初处于保守和闭塞状态下的英国乡镇生活和世态人情。主人公达西是一位表面傲慢,实则心地善良的富家子弟,优越的环境令他对自己的傲慢浑然不觉;伊丽莎白是一位聪慧过人、心思缜密的姑娘,过于相信第一印象,自恃明察秋毫却往往身陷偏见的迷宫。傲慢的达西对固执偏见的伊丽莎白一见钟情,然而达西的傲慢和伊丽莎白的偏见却又注定了这是段误会重重又不失幽默气氛的爱情故事。(The "Pride and Prejudice (illustrated edition)"was the representative work by Jane Austen. It does not involve any content of the popular sentimental novels and artificial technique of that time. Based on daily life, this work vividly reflects the life and human relationships in the conservative, isolated villages and towns in UK in the late 1700s and the early 1800s. The hero Darcy, an apparently proud but actually kindhearted boy from a rich family, is never aware of his own pride due to favorable environment. Elizabeth, an intelligent and meticulous girl, excessively believes the first impression and is often trapped in prejudice although she is self-assured of keen perception. At first sight, the proud Darcy falls in love...
《草原新娘》为"纪伯伦全集"第一卷,由已经故世的著名翻译家关偁先生直接从阿拉伯语译出,包括纪伯伦《音乐》、《草原新娘》、《叛逆的灵魂》、《被折断的翅膀》四部散文诗,属于纪伯伦早年创作。纪伯伦的诗歌长于抒情,而他在绘画方面的精湛技艺以及对音乐的深邃理解又为他的诗歌创作增添了无比绚烂、瑰丽的色彩和空灵、诡谲的韵致,正如译者关偁先生评价的那样:"他的散文诗几近出神入化的地步,因为他从诗歌中撷取了灵魂,从散文中借来了舒展宽松的形式,从绘画中吸取了绚丽的色彩,从音乐中找到了轻柔或昂扬的和谐节奏。因此,他的散文诗同时兼备诗美、散文美、绘画美和音乐美。"书摘和插图:(Grassland Bride, the first volume of "Gibran Full Works" is translated by deceased famous translator Mr. Guan Cheng directly from Arabic. It includes four pieces of prose, that is, Music, Grassland Bride, Rebellious Spirit, and Broken Wings, all created by Gibran at his early age. Gibran is an expert in lyric poetry, and his superb skills in painting and deep understanding of music add magnificent colors, empty spirit, and mysterious charm to his poetry creation, just as the translator Mr. Guan Cheng evaluates: "his prose is superb, because he is ripping the soul from poetry, stretching and loose form from the prose, gorgeous color from painting, and soft or strong harmonious rhythm from music....
