Set in Southern Rhodesia under white rule, Doris Lessing's first novel is at once a riveting chronicle of human disintegration, a beautifully understated social critique, and a brilliant depiction of the quiet horror of one woman's struggleagainst a ruthless fate. Mary Turner is a self-confident, independent young woman who becomes the depressed, frustrated wife of an ineffectual, unsuccessful farmer. Little by little the ennui of years on the farm works its slow poison. Mary's despair progresses until the fateful arrival of Moses, an enigmatic, virile black servant. Locked in anguish, Mary and Moses--master and slave--are trapped in a web of mounting attraction and repulsion, until their psychic tension explodes with devastating consequences.
Not a book for the fainted hearted, presumably you can related to the psychological movement of Mary. Lessing said in interview (Apostrophe - Pivot) that books used to be her escape/sanctuary from the real world. Growing up in (somewhat) isolated communiti...
评分看完萊辛的處女作。 開頭幾章風格和力度不太穩定,但越往後面越震懾,到最後,簡直就是驚人的好,不拿諾貝爾獎沒道理啊!看萊辛自己寫的回憶錄說,這本書讓她一舉成名,也促使她離開南非。她自嘲初版的封面非常低俗,出版社特意弄了個好像野獸的黑人,吸引人眼球。看完后,我只...

第一遍读《野草在歌唱》时候觉得深度一般,可是多读几遍觉得作者还是有很多想法的。就个人而言,我不太关注老生常谈的种族主义和女性主义,比较想分析Moses和Mary的关系,不是那种跨种族的男女关系,而是精神层面的。希望有人能和我讨论!
评分莱辛的语言平易近人
评分看了中文和英文的
评分Kindle上看完的第一本小说 不知为何有点看到自己的影子 难过
评分人生中第一次自己当回事的presentation做的就是the grass is singing两个中译本的对比,挖掘翻译差别里体现的时代变迁下不同语境的中女性意识的苏醒。些许怀念,那时候的我,那时候的目标。
