埃德加·爱伦·坡————作者
(Edgar Allan Poe,1809—1849)
美国诗人、小说家、评论家,文学史上罕见的天才,其留世作品具有非凡的文学价值。他被世人尊为侦探小说的先驱、科幻小说的奠基人、悬念小说大师。他对宇宙和生命的思考近年来越来越受到学界的重视。美国文学史家、《诺顿美国文选》第2至8版主编妮娜·贝姆认为:“对于今天任何层次的读者,爱伦·坡的声誉都比他同时代的任何美国作家更为稳固,唯一的例外也许只有马克·吐温。”

Originally published in 1848, Edgar Allan Poe's Eureka stands as the single most important expression of the philosophic views on which all of his literary endeavors depend. Put in the context of Melville's Moby Dick, Thoreau's Walden, Whitman's Leaves of Grass, and the music of Liszt and Wagner, it is an explosive, startlingly unconventional creation of the High Romantic era. Representing Poe's fantastical thoughts on how the universe was formed and what its future might be, this user-friendly critical edition is also the first to put Eureka in proper context. It includes Poe's proposed emendations to the text and sources and explains the setting in which it was produced, tying Eureka to world trends in philosophy and fast-breaking news in astronomy. To compile this definitive text, the Levines traveled to the special collections departments of various libraries to examine Poe's own notes on the various drafts. They also consulted with Poe scholars, classicists, and historians of astronomy. The result of their meticulous scholarship is a deep, broad, and throughly useful volume, essential for Poe scholars and valuable to anyone interested in American literature or the roots of science fiction.
既然译者写过一个「[译者前记]」,我理应以一篇「编辑后记」呼应之。为免狗尾续貂,这篇想象中的「后记」并没有出现在书中。那么,现在我再来动笔,姑且称之为「补记」吧。 这本书的诞生颇有些意外。几年前跟译者交流时,表达过想出一套爱伦·坡小说全集的想法,但因为工作太忙...
评分拿到这本书的时候其实比想象中的要薄,而且以为是小说。因为之前对爱伦坡的印象就停留在怪诞小说作者的印象,但这次没想到竟然是一本类似科普的读物,而且是关于宇宙的诞生为主题的设想,感觉他忽然成为了科学家爱伦坡,和爱因斯坦成为了一个类别。很是惊奇。 宣传语中说这本书...
