威廉·福克纳(Willian Faulkner l897~1962),美国小说家。出生于没落地主家庭,第一次世界大战时在加拿大空军中服役,战后曾在大学肄业一年,1925年后专门从事创作。他被西方文学界视作“现代的经典作家”。共写了19部长篇小说和70多篇短篇小说。其中绝大多数故事发生在虚构的约克纳帕塔法县,被称为“约克纳帕塔法世系”。这部世系主要写该县及杰弗逊镇不同社会阶层的若干家庭几代人的故事。时间从独立战争前到第二次世界大战以后,出场人物有600多人,其中主要人物在他的不同作品中交替出现,实为一部多卷体的美国南方社会变迁的历史。其最著名的作品有描写杰弗逊镇望族康普生家庭的没落及成员的精神状态和生活遭遇的《喧哗与骚动》(又译《声音与疯狂》1929);写安斯·本德仑偕儿子运送妻子灵柩回杰弗逊安葬途中经历种种磨难的《我弥留之际》(1930);写孤儿裘·克里斯默斯在宗教和种族偏见的播弄、虐待下悲惨死去的《八月之光》(1932);写一个有罪孽的庄园主塞德潘及其子女和庄园的毁灭性结局的《押沙龙,押沙龙!》(1936);写新兴资产阶级弗莱姆·斯诺普斯的冷酷无情及其必然结局的《斯诺普斯三部曲》(《村子》1940,《小镇》1957,《大宅》1959)等。
福克纳1949年获诺贝尔文学奖。
“I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire. . . . I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all of your breath trying to conquer it. Because no battle is ever won he said. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.” —from The Sound and the Fury
The Sound and the Fury is the tragedy of the Compson family, featuring some of the most memorable characters in literature: beautiful, rebellious Caddy; the manchild Benjy; haunted, neurotic Quentin; Jason, the brutal cynic; and Dilsey, their black servant. Their lives fragmented and harrowed by history and legacy, the character’s voices and actions mesh to create what is arguably Faulkner’s masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.
用了5天的闲暇时间,看完了William Faulkner的长篇小说《喧哗与骚动》(Sound and Fury),旧译《声音与疯狂》(自1998年版不列颠百科)。新的译名比较文乎,旧译看似太直,到也点出了书中两个关键角色的特征:昆丁对声音的极端敏感,和班吉的失心疯。此书版本是译文的那套名著...
评分威廉。福克纳的长篇小说《喧哗与骚动》,用我通常赞赏的口吻说,是“有巨大的信息含量”的小说。此前,对于福克纳,只闻其声,未读其作。只是知道他是二十世纪最有影响力的大家。我在图书馆某个阴暗角落无意发现它的时候,赫然发现这本书收集在《二十世纪外国文学丛书》的集子...
