著者简介

The Fall of the Pagoda, the first of two semi-autobiographical novels written originally by Eileen Chang in English, depicts in gripping detail her childhood years in Tianjin and Shanghai, while The Book of Change revolves around her wartime student days in Hong Kong. The Fall of the Pagoda introduces a young girl (called Lute) growing up amid many family entanglements with her divorced mother and spinster aunt during the 1930s in Shanghai’s International Settlement. Both novels shed light on the construction of selfhood in Chang’s other novels, through lengthy discussions of Chang’s difficult relationship with her selfishly demanding mother as well as of intricate dynamics in the extended families who emerged from aristocratic households of the late Qing Dynasty. While the main characters belong to the new Republican period, their worldviews and everyday life are still haunted by the shadows of the past.

Eileen Chang is now recognized as one of the greatest modern Chinese writers, though she was completely erased from official histories in mainland China. She was the most popular writer in Japanese-occupied Shanghai during World War II, with English and Chinese stories focusing on human frailties rather than nationalist propaganda. For her non-committal politics and idiosyncrasies, she was boycotted by fellow writers after the war and forced to the margins of literary respectability.

"The Fall of the Pagoda begins as a comedy of manners and gradually evolves into a gothic thriller… Contradictions and aberrations are the norm in Lute’s family. This is a household immersed in a decaying grandeur amid the intoxicating smell of opium, but it never hesitates to pursue new and exotic things from automobiles to movies. Desolation and decadence rule. Lute’s father indulges himself in debauchery while her mother could not wait to become a Nora of New China. Nevertheless, both share the disposition to squander family fortune ruthlessly; children are their last concern. The Russian Revolution, the creation of Manchukuo, and the Second Sino-Japanese War take place one after another in the novel, but except for momentary disturbances, nothing affects the family which is already engulfed by its own corruption." — From the Introduction by David Der-wei Wang, Harvard University

她夹在中美之间两方都想讨好却又克不住自己本性的句子多么痛苦迷人啊

不得不说爱玲的英文真是蛮晦涩的。

张爱玲最像电视连续剧的一次。文字偶有佳句,也有少部分先前未见的内容,整体效果却显得芜杂,与《小团圆》水准相去太远,当视为《小》不成功的初稿。

从前看张爱玲的文字,总觉得故事中女人们的个性与遭遇各有各的根基,而男人们的贪嗔和暴虐却总是没有理由。后来传说中的“外集”——即几部自传体小说纷纷出版,从《小团圆》、《易经》再是《雷峰塔》,这感觉却掉了个儿,感觉或撑或垮的男人们每个都有自己的难堪与隐衷,反倒...

The Fall of the Pogoda by Eileen Chang is originally written in English. The Chinese translation by Zhao Pihui came out only in last year. According to Eileen Chang herself in an article in 1966, “this novel is for American readers”. She admitted that...
