Edmund Carr is at sea in more ways than one. An eminent journalist and self-made man, he has recently discovered that he has only a short time to live. Leaving his job on a Fleet Street paper, he takes a passage on a cruise ship where he knows that Laura, a beautiful and intelligent widow whom he secretly admires, will be a fellow passenger. Exhilarated by the distant vista of exotic islands never to be visited and his conversations with Laura, Edmund finds himself rethinking all his values.
A voyage on many levels, those long purposeless days at sea find Edumnd relinquishing the past as he discovers the joys and the pain of a love he is simultaneously determined to conceal.
Poet and novelist Vita Sackville-West began writing as a child.Born at elegant Knole Castle, scene of Virginia Woolf's novel Orlando (1928), Sackville-West was educated in that 365-room dwelling.
In 1913 she married Harold Nicolson (see Vol. 3), journalist, diplomat, and biographer.Despite Nicolson's homosexuality and her own lesbian affair with Violet Trefusis, this marriage survived.
Poems of East and West, her first book, was published in 1917.She remained unknown except by a small group of literary connoisseurs until 1927, when she received the Hawthornden Prize for a second volume of poetry.At this time she lived in London and was part of the Bloomsbury group, which also included Lytton Strachey (see Vol. 3), E. M. Forster, John Maynard Keynes (see Vol. 3), and Woolf.
Sackville-West published many novels and volumes of poetry, biography, and family history, and several books on gardening, as well as book reviews and criticism.
All of her writings reflect the same unhurried approach, deep reflection, and brilliantly polished style.
Her influence on other writers, especially Woolf, was perhaps greater than her own individual achievement.
The Edwardians (1930) and All Passion Spent (1931) are her best-known novels.
Sackville-West's son, Nigel Nicholson, recounted the close, but unconventional relationship of his parents in the memoir Portrait of a Marriage, published in 1973.
作者用词非常文艺,比如全篇有很多unravished 这些个我学了在写作里也用不起来的词。女性作家以一个年过半百的男性记者的视角,写他死前几周在邮轮上和Laura的相处过程。今天晚上我又认认真读了几遍这篇课文,以备今晚的高英考试,果然quiz永远是永恒不变的动力。的确写得好,好就好在。。。
评分文笔很妙啊,而且衔接处看似随意其实很有逻辑感。只是到结尾部分拖沓了些。
评分它照到了我的心思,扣一颗星以表惶恐。
评分非常玛丽苏了。死于心花怒放。。。
