具体描述
This unforgettable story of the friendship between a farm boy and a gunman struggling to escape his dark past was made into a critically acclaimed movie in 1953 which became a classic standard for Westerns. Shane, a mysterious traveller and ex-gunfighter, enters into the life of Joe Starrett and his family and carves a place for himself in their hearts. Although he tries to leave his gunslinging past behind, revealing little about himself and refusing to even carry a gun, the family senses a quiet tension about him like a slow burning fuse. In the end, he decides to fight Fletcher and Wilson, the town enemies, in order to break the power of the cattlemen over the homesteaders and save Joe Starrett's farm. The story is told through the eyes of young Bob Starett, who regards Shane with an awe and reverence tempered by the boyishness of the Old West.
''A gun is a tool, Marian; no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.''--Shane
作者简介
Jack Warner Schaefer (November 19, 1907 – January 24, 1991) was a twentieth-century American author known for his Westerns. His most famous work is Shane, which was made into a critically acclaimed movie, and the short story "Stubby Pringle's Christmas" (1964).
Jack Warner Schaefer was born in Cleveland, Ohio, the son of an attorney. He graduated from Oberlin College in 1929 with a major in English. He attended graduate school at Columbia University from 1929–30, but left without completing his Master of Arts degree. He then went to work for the United Press. In his long career as a journalist, he would hold editorial positions at many eastern publications.
Schaefer's first success as a novelist came in 1949 with his memorable novel Shane, set in Wyoming. Few realized that Schaefer himself had never been anywhere near the west. Nevertheless, he continued writing successful westerns, selling his home in Connecticut and moving to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1955.
In 1975 Schaefer received the Western Literature Association's Distinguished Achievement award.
He died of heart failure in Santa Fe in 1991. Schaefer was married twice, his second wife moving to Santa Fe with him.
Schaefer's novel Monte Walsh was made into a movie in 1970, with Lee Marvin in the title role, and again in 2003 as a TV movie starring Tom Selleck. Shane was also made into a movie and a series.

用户评价
阅读这本书的过程更像是一种例行公事，而非享受。我发现自己经常停下来，检查一下自己是不是漏看了关键信息，因为故事的跳跃性太大，常常在不该停顿的地方戛然而止，或者在一个无关紧要的场景上纠缠不清。作者似乎对时间线的掌控力极差，上一章还在讲述角色童年的某个片段，下一章就直接跳到了数十年后，中间的过渡处理得极其粗暴，让人感觉时间在书中是以一种非线性的、混乱的方式流逝。书中某些角色的行为动机，即便用“情绪激动”来解释也显得苍白无力，他们的选择更像是为了推动作者预设的剧情发展而不得不做出的机械性动作。总而言之，这本书缺乏那种让读者愿意放下一切去追随故事的力量，它更像是一份未完成的蓝图，充满了潜力却从未被实现。
评分这本书的书封设计简直是拙劣的典范，那种过时的排版和廉价的纸张触感，让人在书店里就忍不住想把它放回去。内页的字体选择也透露着一股敷衍的气息，阅读起来眼睛非常容易疲劳，仿佛作者和出版方都没想过我们要长时间盯着这些文字看。情节展开的速度慢得像是蜗牛在爬行，前三分之一的时间都在铺陈一些对主线故事推进毫无帮助的背景信息，让我这个本想放松心情的读者，硬生生被拖入了冗长而乏味的泥潭。人物塑造更是扁平化到了极致，主角的动机模糊不清，配角的出现纯粹是为了完成某个生硬的转折点，缺乏任何真实的人性深度或情感波动。我甚至怀疑作者是否真正理解了他们所描绘的那个世界，因为很多设定的逻辑漏洞在稍微深入思考后便暴露无遗，就像一个搭建得摇摇欲坠的积木塔，轻轻一碰就会散架。整本书读下来，最大的感受就是时间被无谓地浪费了，完全没有获得任何阅读的愉悦感或思考的价值，真是一场令人失望的阅读体验。
评分这是一部结构松散到令人发指的作品。全书仿佛是作者在不同时间点写下的零散笔记的集合，强行用一些牵强的连接词串联起来。角色之间的关系建立得非常突然，前一秒还是形同陌路，下一秒就为了一个模糊的“命运安排”而生死与共，这种缺乏铺垫的戏剧性转折，只会让人感到荒谬可笑。我尤其对作者对环境和场景的描写感到不满，那些描述缺乏感官的细节，读起来像是一份旅游指南的文字草稿，没有丝毫的氛围感或沉浸感，无法将我的思绪带入故事发生的那个特定时空。想象一下，你努力想在脑海中构建出一个生动的画面，却发现作者给你的只是一些模糊的色块和线条。此外，对话部分也显得极为做作和不自然，每个人说话的方式都像是在背诵剧本，缺乏生活中的那种磕绊、停顿和真实的情感流露，完全暴露了作者在处理日常交流时的生涩与不自信。
评分老实说，我是在一个漫长的雨天被这本书的“神秘”标签吸引的，期待着一场能带来心跳加速的冒险。然而，所谓的“悬念”从一开始就显得如此可预见，我几乎在书页翻过四分之一的时候，就已经猜到了结局的走向和幕后黑手的身份。这种缺乏惊喜的阅读过程，极大地削弱了阅读的动力。作者似乎想玩弄“多重叙事线索”的把戏，但最终导致的结果是所有线索都显得松散而未被充分利用，最终汇集成一股平淡无奇的溪流，而不是磅礴的大海。书中穿插的那些看似深奥的哲学引用，也大多是断章取义，服务于当下情节的需要，而非对主题的深入探讨，显得非常功利和肤浅。我更希望作者能专注于打磨一个扎实的故事骨架，而不是用这些花哨的修饰来掩盖内在的空虚。
评分拿起这本书的时候，我本以为会看到某种深刻的社会批判或是对人性复杂性的细腻描摹，毕竟封面上那句标语带着一种故作高深的哲学意味。结果呢？内容充斥着大量空洞的说教和老生常谈的观点，仿佛是从一本陈旧的励志手册里随便摘抄拼凑出来的。作者似乎急于向读者证明自己的“思想高度”，却忘了用引人入胜的故事来承载这些说教。很多段落的论述逻辑混乱不堪，观点跳跃性极大，让人不得不反复回读，试图捕捉作者到底想表达的核心思想，但往往徒劳无功。更令人抓狂的是叙事节奏的失控，有些本该大书特书的冲突场面，被几句话轻描淡写地带过，而一些微不足道的日常琐事却被墨迹斑斑地详述，读起来让人感到极度的不耐烦和错位感。读完最后一页时，我感到的是一种被智力上冒犯的不快，而不是被故事所震撼的余韵。
