The American 美国人 英文原版 [平装] pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载
"Henry James' great theme is the collision of cultures, of New World American energy encountering Old World European aristocracy; and his supreme skill is in the delineation of the unspoken subtleties that govern human interaction-- the meanings behind people's words, the delicate signals by which people communicate more than the conventions of conversation or society allow."
--Amazon.co.uk Review
"The American is built around a moral dilemma that dramatises this clash of cultures. Wealthy, open-hearted Christopher Newman (the New Man in the Old World) visits Paris and falls in love with impoverished French aristocrat, Claire de Cintre. However, her snobbish family bully her into breaking off the engagement. When Newman discovers that his former fiancée's family are hiding a dark secret, corrupt Old World morals suggest he should use it to take his revenge; but his simpler American sense tells him that this would be wrong. What should he do? The fine touch with which James explores the complexities of this scenario markes an extraordinary advance over his first novel, Roderick Hudson; and The American looks forward to the mature classics of James' middle period, books like Daisy Miller and Portrai t of a Lady--all novels that explore the classic Jamesian theme of Americans in Europe."
--Adam Roberts
20世纪初,詹姆斯接连发表《鸽翼》、《使节》和《金碗》3部长篇小说,使他的创作达到高峰。在兰登书屋(Random House)1996年评选的20世纪百佳英文小说中,詹姆斯就凭借这三部小说榜上有名,且都排名靠前。这些小说大多颂扬美国资产阶级高尚的品德。它们基本以人物微妙的内心活动为主,有时冗长烦琐 ,并显得晦涩难解。詹姆斯的作品还有《波士顿人》、《卡萨玛西玛公主》、《美国人》、《波英顿的珍藏品》等。除小说外,还写过一些重要的文学评论以及剧本、游记等。詹姆斯被誉为西方现代心理分析小说的开拓者。 既然买了书,就要好好看看。
