The World According to Garp pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
The World According to Garp is a comic and compassionate coming-of-age novel that established John Irving as one of the most imaginative writers of his generation. A worldwide bestseller since its publication in 1978, Irving's classic is filled with stories inside stories about the life and times of T. S. Garp, novelist and bastard son of Jenny Fields--a feminist leader ahead of her time. Beyond that, The World According to Garp virtually defies synopsis.----"Nothing in contemporary fiction matches it," said critic Terrence Des Pres. "Irving's blend of gravity and play is unique, audacious, almost blasphemous. . . . Friendship, marriage and family are his primary themes, but at that blundering level of life where mishap and folly--something close to joyful malice--perpetually intrude and disrupt, often fatally. Life, in Irving's fiction, is always under siege." Time magazine commented: "Irving's popularity is not hard to understand. His world is really the world according to nearly everyone."----This Modern Library edition includes a new Introduction by the author.
The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foundation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hardbound editons of impor-tant works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoringas its emblem the running torchbearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inaugurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices.--From the Hardcover edition.
约翰•欧文John Irving
当代文坛无可争议的小说宗师,被公认为在世作家中数一数二的角色。他的作品在赢得文坛推崇的同时深受大众喜爱,被翻译成35种文字,世界各地的书店里几乎都能买到欧文的小说。评论界认为欧文是罕见的承袭了现实主义文学精髓的作家,将他誉为“狄更斯再世”。
日本作家村上春树曾表示,欧文是自己的文学偶像之一,他曾将欧文作品译介到日本,采访过欧文,还与欧文在纽约中央公园一同慢跑。
欧文作品曾三次入围美国国家图书奖,1980年凭借《盖普眼中的世界》摘得桂冠。
欧文作品在好莱坞也炙手可热,曾有5部小说被改编成电影,他本人也是一名杰出编剧。1999年,欧文以《苹果酒屋的规则》拿下奥斯卡金像奖改编剧本奖。
欧文1942年生于美国新罕布什尔州埃克塞特,全职写作之前,曾当过二十年摔跤手。他先后养过两只棕色拉布拉多犬,分别取名为“狄更斯”和“勃朗特”。
人们常说落叶归根,他的一生平凡又丰富多彩,兜兜转转,最后又回到了最初的地方史第林学校。《盖普眼中的世界》的T.S.盖普用他的经历向我们展示了一个现实的社会,充满着人性的暴力,疯狂,脆弱,但同时也充满爱,坚持,正能量。 作者约翰•欧文,当代美国著名的作家,从1968...
评分他们都是写书的人生的——《寡居的一年》和《盖普眼中的世界》里的主要观察者,然后他们自己也尝试起写作来。不过这没什么大不了的,这只是在有些时候让他们说起话来更方便一点,跟“一个作家的一生”、“作家之家”诸如此类的故事毫不相干,冯内古特的书里也老是写到个科幻小...
评分身为一名大适婚大龄落单青年,耳朵塞满了各路好友亲朋的催婚攻击,放眼大街上是牵手的情侣和惹眼的伴侣,朋友圈是晒娃狂魔们和花式秀恩爱的不变主场,即便我坚信“只有该结婚了的感情,没有该结婚了的年龄”而装作波澜不惊,但我的心却着实已经惶恐不淡定,于是我便转投精神食...
评分一前收到了这本重新出版的欧文的书,在五一假期来回北戴河的火车上读了一大半,还剩下五分之一,回到家顾不上旅途的疲惫,窝在床上把剩下的看完了。不禁大呼过瘾,就跟吃了一顿大餐一样,脑子里填的饱饱的,眼前似乎晃动着书里面的各种情节。 又是作家写作家:跟读客前一阵子最...
