編輯推薦

　"查令十字街"（Charing Cross Road）是倫敦無與倫比的舊書店一條街，雖然的確貫穿數個"十字路口"，但卻無關乎"十字路"。之所以被稱為"查令十字"，是因為在十三世紀末，英國愛德華一世在位期間，為悼念其愛妻埃莉諾王後，而在其死後齣殯沿途架設的十二座石造十字架得名。
　　《查令十字街84號》弗蘭剋所在的"馬剋斯與科恩書店"，起初在老孔普頓街開業，先後曾移往查令十字街108、106號，最終在一九三〇年遷至查令十字街84號。馬剋斯與科恩書店除瞭經營一般的古舊書籍外，其對狄更斯相關書籍收羅之豐沛，當時無其他書店能及，遺憾的是，在一九七七年，該書店因主事者陸續亡故而歇業。其店麵後來一度由"柯芬園唱片行"承接。現在店門口外仍鑲著一麵銅鑄圓牌，上頭鎸著："查令十字街84號，因海蓮·漢芙的書而舉世聞名的馬剋斯與科恩書店原址。"

內容簡介

An extraordinary, personal look at modern war by a young correspondent who saw its horrors firsthand, My War Gone By, I Miss It So is already being compared to the classics of war literature. Born into a distinguished family steeped in military tradition, from his youth Anthony Loyd longed to experience the fury of war from the front lines. Driven by suicidal despair and drug dependence, the former soldier left his native England at the age of twenty-six to cover the bloodiest conflict that Europe had seen since the Second World War-the war in Bosnia. Nothing can prepare you for the account of war that Loyd gives. His harrowing stories from the battlefields show humanity at its worst and best, witnessed through the grim tragedies played out daily in the city, streets, and mountain villages of Bosnia and Chechnya. Profoundly shocking, violent, poetic, and ultimately redemptive, My War Gone By, I Miss It So is an uncompromising look at the terrifying brutality of war. It is a breathtaking, soul-shattering book, an intense and moving piece of reportage that you won't put down and will never be able to forget.

　　《查令十字街84號》是由知名作傢海倫漢芙於1970年寫的作品，二戰後，窮睏的海蓮受不瞭紐約昂貴庸俗的古舊書店，便按照《星期六文學評論》上的地址， 給位於倫敦查令十字街84號的馬剋斯與科恩書店（後來被海倫派去倫敦偵察的好友形容成一傢"狄更斯時代的書店"）寫瞭一封信，求購一些舊版圖書，這一天是 1949年10月5日。
　　很快，迴信和她要的書就來瞭，那些書令海倫的書架相形見絀。雙方的信任和欣喜很快達成，除瞭海倫有一點點麻煩，她是個 連付帳和找零都搞不清楚的女人，更不用說將英鎊換算成美元瞭。馬剋斯與科恩書店的經理弗蘭剋·德爾除瞭滿足她購書的要求外，還給她準備瞭英鎊和美元兩種發 票。溫暖的相知藉助、娓娓道來的書信，很塊就俘獲瞭遠隔重洋的海倫和弗蘭剋。
　　五十年代初期的英國百廢待興，物資實行配給製。海倫就從美國給書 店的店員們寄來火腿雞蛋和香腸，讓他們吃到很久沒有見過的"完整而大塊"的肉。而弗蘭剋並不是不知感恩的人，他開始在英國各地奔波，齣入豪宅，為存貨不多 的書店添置新品，踏破鐵鞋，為她尋覓難得一見的珍本。日子一天天的過去，書信成為他們平靜流淌的生活中無時不在的旁白。
　　海倫不是沒想過去倫敦看看書店看看弗蘭剋。她終於有瞭自己的積蓄，而英女王的登基又使得赴英的費用打瞭摺。眼看可以成行，但她的牙逼著她留在瞭紐約。她隻好給弗蘭剋寫信："我陪著我的牙，而牙醫卻在渡蜜月，他的結婚費用是我齣的……"
　　弗蘭剋隻好為她和剛剛登基的伊莉莎白女王祝福。
　　書照買，信照寫。
　　到瞭這一天，海倫的信三個月後纔接到迴音，她被告知：弗蘭剋於1968年12月22日病逝。
　　海倫馬上趕到查令十字街84號。走進即將被拆遷的馬剋書店時，距離她第一次給這裏寫信，已經過去瞭二十年。
　　她笑著對空蕩蕩的書店說："我來瞭，弗蘭剋，我終於來瞭。

精彩書評

84, Charing Cross Road is a charming record of bibliophilia, cultural difference, and imaginative sympathy. For 20 years, an outspoken New York writer and a rather more restrained London bookseller carried on an increasingly touching correspondence. In her first letter to Marks & Co., Helene Hanff encloses a wish list, but warns, "The phrase 'antiquarian booksellers' scares me somewhat, as I equate 'antique' with expensive." Twenty days later, on October 25, 1949, a correspondent identified only as FPD let Hanff know that works by Hazlitt and Robert Louis Stevenson would be coming under separate cover. When they arrive, Hanff is ecstatic--but unsure she'll ever conquer "bilingual arithmetic." By early December 1949, Hanff is suddenly worried that the six-pound ham she's sent off to augment British rations will arrive in a kosher office. But only when FPD turns out to have an actual name, Frank Doel, does the real fun begin. Two years later, Hanff is outraged that Marks & Co. has dared to send an abridged Pepys diary. "i enclose two limp singles, i will make do with this thing till you find me a real Pepys. THEN i will rip up this ersatz book, page by page, AND WRAP THINGS IN IT." Nonetheless, her postscript asks whether they want fresh or powdered eggs for Christmas. Soon they're sharing news of Frank's family and Hanff's career. No doubt their letters would have continued, but in 1969, the firm's secretary informed her that Frank Doel had died. In the collection's penultimate entry, Helene Hanff urges a tourist friend, "If you happen to pass by 84, Charing Cross Road, kiss it for me. I owe it so much."
