First Love, Last Rites pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Ian McEwan's Somerset Maugham Award-winning collection First Love, Last Rites brought him instant recognition as one of the most influential voices writing in England today. Taut, brooding, and densely atmospheric, these stories show us the ways in which murder can arise out of boredom, perversity can result from adolescent curiosity, and sheer evil might be the solution to unbearable loneliness. These tales are as horrifying as anything written by Clive Barker or Stephen King, but they are crafted with a lyricism and intensity that compel us to confront our secret kinship with the horrifying.
Ian McEwan is the bestselling author of more than ten books, including the novels The Comfort of Strangers and Black Dogs, both shortlisted for the Booker Prize, Amsterdam, winner of the Booker Prize, and The Child in Time, winner of the Whitbread Award, as well as the story collections First Love, Last Rites, winner of the Somerset Maugham Award, and In Between the Sheets. He has also written screenplays, plays, television scripts, a children’s book, and the libretto for an oratorio. He lives in London.
Biography
One of the most distinguished novelists of his generation, Ian McEwan was born in England and spent much of his childhood traveling with his father, an army officer stationed in the Far East, Germany, and North Africa. He graduated from Sussex University in 1970 with a degree in English Literature and received his MA in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia.
McEwan burst upon the literary scene in the mid-1970s with two short story collections that highlighted with equal clarity his early predilection for disturbing, somewhat shocking subject matter and his dazzling prose style. Similarly, his 1978 debut novel, The Cement Garden, attracted as much attention for its unsettling storyline as for its stylistic brilliance. But even though his early work was saturated with deviant sex, violence, and death (so much so that he earned the nickname "Ian MacAbre"), he was never dismissed as a mere purveyor of cheap thrills. In fact, two of his most provocative works (The Comfort of Strangers and Enduring Love) were shortlisted for major U.K. awards.
As he has matured, McEwan has moved away from disquieting themes like incest, sadism, and psychotic obsession to explore more introspective human dramas. In an interview with The New Republic he described his literary evolution in this way:
"One passes the usual milestones in life: You have children, you find that whether you like it or not, you have a huge investment in the human project somehow succeeding. You become maybe a little more tolerant as you get older. Pessimism begins to feel something like a badge that you perhaps do not wear so easily. There is something delicious and reckless about the pessimism of being 21. And when you get older you feel maybe a little more delicate and hope that things will flourish. You don't want to take a stick to it."
Among many literary honors, McEwan has been awarded the Somerset Maugham Award for First Love, Last Rites (1976) and the Whitbread Prize for The Child in Time (1987). Nominated three times for the Booker Prize, he finally won in 1998 for Amsterdam. He has also received the WH Smith Literary Award and National Book Critics' Circle Fiction Award for Atonement (2001) and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Saturday (2005).
唉 几年来未有能撼动solid geometry在我心中地位的短篇了 当然还有butterfly
评分太纯真,初恋和临终祈祷,应该再搞一本Last love first rites 呼应一下
评分First love, last rites 一篇很有重量。
评分写的非常好,有些故事让人惊讶的同时又有一种of course的恍然大悟感。故事参差有高低,但整体有一种对世界、人性的恶意,对世界、人性的无情攻击。然而我们无法反驳,因为,of course..
评分唉 几年来未有能撼动solid geometry在我心中地位的短篇了 当然还有butterfly
一本小书,前后被名人的序评夹着,八篇小说,独立的文本,一以贯之的脉络,青春的朝气与幽暗,敏锐与颓废,极度的狂想与沉湎,少年时代的一个个横切面,铺陈出华丽的残酷。麦克尤恩的笔法精湛,小说中色泽明亮与幽暗对称,彷徨与狂想并存;青春的绿草地上,满是幽灵的幻影...
评分其实还包括译名 这俩都搞得无比小清新。 当然了,封面可以改,但这译名真不知道咋改才能不清新。 起初我是买错了,以为是另外一作家的 就是写自杀俱乐部和失恋排行榜那哥们。 这本小说腰封如是说: 布克诸奖没啥稀奇,诺奖只是时间问题。 鄙夷的鼻哼了一声,就凭借失恋排行榜...
评分刊于《外滩画报》(2010/5/5) 1975年,伊恩·麦克尤恩的第一本短篇小说集《最初的爱情,最后的仪式》便获得了萨姆塞特·毛姆奖。在这组短篇小说里,他以极具实验性的精神,把青春期的爱、性与死等母题一一尝试,试图找到自己的写作主题;他又以热爱的作家们为模仿对象,尝试...
评分英国大作家麦克尤恩的成名作,《最初的爱情,最后的仪式》,历尽千辛万苦,终于出来了。漂亮的蓝绿色小书摆在眼前。忘了是哪一年,在长安的酒店里,我用一个下午的时间读完了传说中的《立体几何》。此前,做了几年编辑的我已经不看小说了,职业化的厌倦吧。这本书是朋友推荐的...
评分更多的时候先入为主的主观思想主导了我们对于一个事物的看法,即便评价这一行为本身就带有很浓的主观色彩。阅读一本书的时候尤其是这样。不排除是因为当下快餐阅读文化导致所有书籍疯狂扭曲的编辑营销自己,所有的书籍都在腰封或者是封底甚至是封面都用上赤裸的语言来表达这...
