In 1966 Jean Rhys reemerged after a long silence with a novel called Wide Sargasso Sea. Rhys had enjoyed minor literary success in the 1920s and '30s with a series of evocative novels featuring women protagonists adrift in Europe, verging on poverty, hoping to be saved by men. By the '40s, however, her work was out of fashion, too sad for a world at war. And Rhys herself was often too sad for the world--she was suicidal, alcoholic, troubled by a vast loneliness. She was also a great writer, despite her powerful self-destructive impulses.
Wide Sargasso Sea is the story of Antoinette Cosway, a Creole heiress who grew up in the West Indies on a decaying plantation. When she comes of age she is married off to an Englishman, and he takes her away from the only place she has known--a house with a garden where "the paths were overgrown and a smell of dead flowers mixed with the fresh living smell. Underneath the tree ferns, tall as forest tree ferns, the light was green. Orchids flourished out of reach or for some reason not to be touched."
The novel is Rhys's answer to Jane Eyre. Charlotte Brontë's book had long haunted her, mostly for the story it did not tell--that of the madwoman in the attic, Rochester's terrible secret. Antoinette is Rhys's imagining of that locked-up woman, who in the end burns up the house and herself. Wide Sargasso Sea follows her voyage into the dark, both from her point of view and Rochester's. It is a voyage charged with soul-destroying lust. "I watched her die many times," observes the new husband. "In my way, not in hers. In sunlight, in shadow, by moonlight, by candlelight. In the long afternoons when the house was empty."
Rhys struggled over the book, enduring rejections and revisions, wrestling to bring this ruined woman out of the ashes. The slim volume was finally published when she was 70 years old. The critical adulation that followed, she said, "has come too late." Jean Rhys died a few years later, but with Wide Sargasso Sea she left behind a great legacy, a work of strange, scary loveliness. There has not been a book like it before or since. Believe me, I've been searching. --Emily White
《簡·愛》問世將近一個半世紀以來,世界各國到底有多少癡心的女讀者在這個相貌平平、過早飽嘗人生辛酸、但終末失去與生活搏鬥勇氣的簡·愛身上找尋自己的影子,寄予同情,其人數當然無法統計,但肯定是大有人在。然而,若要問有多少女讀者對簡·愛追求幸福的苦難曆程上的障礙——幽禁在頂樓上的瘋女人感到一絲一毫同情,甚或對她産生一點兒好感的,那倒大概可以說為數不多吧。但就在為數不多的人中,卻有一位對瘋女人産生瞭濃烈的興趣,她就是英國當代女作傢簡·裏斯(Jean Rhys,1894—1979)。憑她對《簡·愛》一書的深刻研究,對瘋女人齣生時代背景和社會環境——十九世紀英國在西半球的殖民地——的充分瞭解,再加自己對這一人物的理解和同情,經過多次修訂再全部推翻重寫的痛苦創作過程,終於完成定稿,並於1966年齣版,書名《藻海無邊》(Wide Sargasso Sea),而且於同年獲得英國皇傢文學會奬,1967年又獲W.H.史密斯奬,還被接納為英國皇傢文學會會員。

評分每個人都被盤剝。
評分雖然故事建構在簡愛的基礎上但小說本身十分獨立,有很強的寫作技巧,讀完無法再以一顆少女心麵對Mr.Rochester瞭。。。

I should have given a 5 but due to the horrible translation presented.... honestly I hate Jane Eyre for its both realistic and fantasy. But IT IS these features that also presented in this book attracts me. I read it about three years ago so I don't really...
評分有多少人对简爱追求幸福的苦难历程上的那个障碍——疯女人有丝毫同情的,恐怕为数不多。在《简爱》中对她的描述共有5处,作者夏洛蒂勃朗特无一处使用褒笔,她通过简爱的眼睛和耳朵描写了疯女人“魔鬼的笑声”、“野兽般的嗥叫”、“蓬乱地似马鬃的头发”,又借罗切斯特的口...
評分读简爱,那个歇斯底里的女人让人觉得可憎而多余,我们没有想过她是谁,从哪里来,又为什么来到这里,与身俱来的命运,无法决定自己的归属,她平静地承受仇恨和死亡,没有童年,没有天真的希望,血液里疯狂的爱和疯狂的恨让她在无尽的折磨中烧毁了一切,那是她爱的红和热。 那个...
評分非常精妙的文本,后半部分,他和她以及他和老女佣的对话语带双关,充满了弦外之音,读者可自行解读成其它关系。 在有关男人和女人,殖民者和被殖民地,强者和弱者的故事里,there's always the other side, always。 书里对西印度群岛的风光描写充满魅力,美,孤独,灵性。故...
