Alcestis pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
In the years before his death at age sixty-eight in 1998, Hughes translated several classical works with great energy and ingenuity. His Tales from Ovid was called "one of the great works of our century" (Michael Hofmann, The Times, London), his Oresteia of Aeschylus is considered the difinitive version, and his Phèdre was acclaimed on stage in New York as well as London. Hughes's version of Euripides's Alcestis, the last of his translations, has the great brio of those works, and it is a powerful and moving conclusion to the great final phase of Hughes's career.
Euripides was, with Aeschylus and Sophocles, one of the greatest of Greek dramatists. Alcestis tells the story of a king's grief for his wife, Alcestis, who has given her young life so that he may live. As translated by Hughes, the story has a distinctly modern sensibility while retaining the spirit of antiquity. It is a profound meditation on human mortality.
Ted Hughes's last book of poems, Birthday Letters, won the Whitbread Book of the Year Prize. He was Poet Laureate to Queen Elizabeth II and lived in Devon, England until he died in 1998.

評分An early comedy of remarriage, with the statuesque beauty of a wife being the object of mockery and death, the protagonist; possible prelude to Winter's Tale and The Philadelphia Story? Film noir without a screen.
評分頭迴讀歐裏庇得斯的戲劇。這居然是悲劇——將美好的東西在最初摧毀,再由赫拉剋勒斯帶迴,實是一個快樂結局。英譯不錯,beautiful and powerful。Alcestis這個女性角色十分動人,她在一個一個祭壇上走過而麵容不改,而迴傢在床上流露情感,讓人動容。
