Memories of Mount Qilai pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Hualien, on the Pacific coast of eastern Taiwan, and its mountains, especially Mount Qilai, were deeply inspirational for the young poet Yang Mu. A place of immense natural beauty and cultural heterogeneity, the city was also a site of extensive social, political, and cultural change in the twentieth century, from the Japanese occupation and the American bombings of World War II to the Chinese civil war, the White Terror, and the Cold War.
Taken as a whole, these evocative and allusive autobiographical essays provide a personal response to history as Taiwan transitioned from a Japanese colony to the Republic of China. Yang Mu recounts his childhood experiences under the Japanese, life in the mountains in proximity to indigenous people as his family took refuge from the American bombings, his initial encounters and cultural conflicts with Nationalist soldiers recently arrived from mainland China, the subsequent activities of the Nationalist government to consolidate power, and the burgeoning of the island's new manufacturing society.
Nevertheless, throughout those early years, Yang Mu remained anchored by a sense of place on Taiwan's eastern coast and amid its coastal mountains, over which stands Mount Qilai like a guardian spirit. This was the formative milieu of the young poet. Yang Mu seized on verse to develop a distinct persona and draw meaning from the currents of change reshuffling his world. These eloquent essays create an exciting, subjective realm meant to transcend the personal and historical limitations of the individual and the end of culture, "plundered and polluted by politics and industry long ago."
楊牧(1940- )
本名王靖獻,花蓮人。 東海大學外文係畢業,在美國愛荷華大學取得藝術碩士學位,獲柏剋萊加州大學比較文學博士學位,長期任教於西雅圖華盛頓大學。後來返颱,在東華大學擔任人文社會學院院長,現為中研院文哲所所長。 創作甚豐的楊牧,從早期的「葉珊」時代就有詩集 《水之湄 》、《花季》,在浪漫抒情風格上形塑他的名聲。他的散文作品,也映照抒情婉約的文風。隨著人生閱歷的增進與世事觀照之增廣,在詩的書房裡的楊牧對現實與冥想更為深刻地觸探,形成一種講究語字鍛鍊的詩風。 透過詩與詩學交互碰觸,他在書房裡觀照現實世界,也把現實世界捕捉進書房裡。《瓶中稿》、《楊牧詩集》、《海岸七疊》、《有人》、《完整的寓言》,楊牧以詩集與文集構成他的文學風景。曾獲詩宗獎(1971)、吳三連文藝獎(1990)、國傢文藝獎(2000)、紐曼華文文學獎(2013)等重要獎項。
