金安平(Annping Chin),一九五O年也生于台湾,一九六二年移居美国,后于哥伦比亚大学获得中国思想哲学博士学位。现任教于耶鲁大学历史系。著有 Children of Chian:Voices form Recent Years,并与其夫婿史景迁(Jona than Spence)合著有The Chinese Century:A Photographic History of the Last Hundred Years.
Not since Wild Swans has Chinese history been so intimately encountered - through the stories of four sisters born between 1907 and 1914, a renowned historian examines a century of extraordinary change in Chinese culture and in women's lives. Now in their late eighties and early nineties, the four Chang sisters lived through a century of historic change in China. In this extraordinary work, assembled with the benefit of letters, diaries, family histories, poetry, journals and interviews, Annping Chin shapes the story of one family into a riveting chronicle that provides a unique insight into the old China and its transition into the new. From their father, the Chang sisters inherited reason and a belief in the virtues of modern education. From their mother they learned about the human spirit and the art of finding an appropriate path. The nurse-nannies - uneducated widows from the Hofei countryside - contributed their own opinions on modern ways. As the sisters grow up, one breaks with tradition to marry an actor, another marries one of China's greatest novelists; another, raised by her devout Buddhist grandaunt, is taught to be a rigorous practitioner of China's classical arts. The Chang sisters' prolific correspondence provides an intimate glimpse of private life, as well as a chronicle of the developments of the twentieth century, from prosperity to persecution, from foreign wars to Cultural Revolution. Four Sisters of Hofei is an intensely personal and sweeping story that illustrates the complex history of a complex culture.
■文/小約 這本書看過好長時間了,一直放一直放,放到有一天想寫的時候。那種時間,你已經不可能記得很清楚了,像昆德拉說的,面對毀壞性的遺忘,閱讀者只有選擇永遠不住進去。博爾赫斯優雅自負地說:「我讀了很多關於《麥克白》的文章,也忘了不少」,一句話打發一...
评分上个周末,在阳光书店看见金安平女史的《合肥四姐妹》,见了一眼,就油然而生阅读的渴望。凭空而来。大概是写作对象和写作者的“闺秀”气质在无形中吸引着我。在她们的身上,无形而生动地体现着“学”的精神。这样的女性平凡而不一般。令人钦佩。而读罢此书,我更加明白,一定...
评分几年前读的《张家旧事》更像回忆录,近期读的《合肥四姐妹》则为纪录片。 母亲从扬州嫁至合肥,与父亲相敬如宾,生养众多儿女,给他们富足的生活条件、贴身的服侍保姆、良好的教育资源。孩子们逐渐长大成人,个个优雅淡然,有大家风范。 读的时候,经常感叹教育的重要性。 合肥...

评分当然,四姐妹中,以三姐张兆和最为人知晓,因为她是沈从文的夫人,大家津津乐道的是沈从文当年如何追她的那段佳话。 90年代中期开始,二姐张允和接二连三出了几本关于张家的书,一时间张家四姐妹(张元和、张允和、张兆和、张充和,分别嫁给了四位名人:昆曲名伶顾传玠、...
