Fortress Besieged pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
The greatest Chinese novel of the twentieth century. Fortress Besieged is a classic of world literature, a masterpiece of parodic fiction that plays with Western literary traditions, philosophy, and middle-class Chinese society in the Republican era. Set on the eve of the Sino-Japanese War, our hapless hero Fang Hung-chien (à la Emma Bovary), with no particular goal in life and with a bogus degree from a fake American university in hand, returns home to Shanghai. On the French liner home, he meets two Chinese beauties, Miss Su and Miss Pao. Qian writes, "With Miss Pao it wasn't a matter of heart or soul. She hadn't any change of heart, since she didn't have a heart." In a sort of painful comedy, Fang obtains a teaching post at a newly established university where the effete pseudo-intellectuals he encounters in academia become the butt of Qian's merciless satire. Soon Fang is trapped into a marriage of Nabokovian proportions of distress and absurdity. Recalling Fielding's Tom Jones in its farcical litany of misadventures and Flaubert's "style indirect libre," Fortress Besieged is its own unique feast of delights. The translators Jeanne Kelly and Nathan K. Mao have breathed life into the English translation.

大概是自己的水平不够,英文版总觉得读得不痛快
评分In a certain age, I did believe that marriage is like a fortress besiedged. I was the one outside, and still had enough curiosity left for marriage, I wanted to go in. Now I have none, and marriage to me, is like a war field constantly in turmoil. I decide to quit all my delusions left. BTW, the translation is as insipid as plain boiled water.

评分Kelly译的也是让人迷醉,把Chien那么油的半文半白的东西完全做成大白话...可惜了一部算是精品的华语小说了

就本人的阅历来看,似乎还不怎么够格评价这本书的,然对于字里行间的幽默智慧和人性荒谬,细节刻画之入木,说钱先生眼力独到也好,卖弄文字技巧也好,在精妙之处常难免会心大笑,似乎就在说自己和周围的人。或多或少有所共鸣,在其中能觅到自己的影子。整本小说节奏偏慢,喜情...
评分极郁闷的人,书可看《围城》,影可看《一起去看流星雨》 第一次看的时候是在大学,那个时候正被《文化苦旅》折磨着,看到《围城》这般有趣的故事,草草阅过,只觉内心欢喜:原来名著也有读起来颇为轻松的。 而今辗转数年,张爱玲杜拉斯生命不可承受之轻通通被我卖掉,唯此一本...
评分一千个读者有一千个哈姆雷特,对于《围城》这样历经数十年洗礼的作品,我觉得可以说,一千个读者有一千五百个《围城》,伴随一代代读者的成长,每个人对《围城》看法也在发生变化,于是每个人对《围城》就有了一个,一个半,两个或是更多的理解,也有了二十岁的《围城》,四十...

评分起初读围城的时候,是为了打发路途漫漫火车上的时间,便下载到手机上当做电子读物快餐一下而已。事后才懊悔不已,一个好的环境真的是可以提升一本书对一个人的价值。手机看书的确少了那种纸质实物看书时的那种畅快淋漓、“咬文嚼字”的传统感觉,那种亦书亦情的厚重感,感...
