Joseph Brodsky (1940-96) came to the United States in 1972, an involuntary exile from the Soviet Union. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1987 and served as Poet Laureate of the United States in 1991 and 1992.
'Genius . . . bringing ardent intelligence to bear upon poetry, politics and autobiography' Seamus Heaney
Essayist and poet Joseph Brodsky was one of the most penetrating voices of the twentieth century. This prize-winning collection of his diverse essays includes uniquely powerful appreciations of great writers: on Dostoevsky and the development of Russian prose, on Auden and Akhmatova, Cavafy, Montale and Mandelstam. These are contrasted with his reflections on larger themes of tyranny and evil, and subtle evocations of his childhood in Leningrad. Brodsky's insightful appreciation of the intricacies of language, culture and identity connect these works, revealing his remarkable gifts as a prose writer.

初读《小于一》,直观的感觉基本就是会的东西太少,要学的东西太多,一味的坐井自照,未免太过可笑。 不可否认,一开始是有过弃书的冲动的。这种目光落到文字上也能不自觉涣散的文章,本就不是我所喜爱的。可是,这个时代,我们喜爱一个东西那么容易,厌恶亦是习以为常。就像一...
评分已刊发,请勿转用。 作为一名诗人,布罗茨基曾不止一次地强调在艺术的万神殿之上,“诗歌占据着比散文高的地位,而诗人在原则上高于散文家”。一位诗人之所以“屈尊”偶尔写些散文,也是因为“受制于经济考虑,‘干旱’,或较罕见地受制于挑起争端的必要性”,这听上去多少有...
评分这本书对我来说真是够晦涩了,专业的诗歌艺术批评,运用了关于哲学、语言学、美学、语义学多方面的知识,作者对各种诗歌作者、流派信手拈来,这对看书的人真的很是折磨。可能是它太专业了吧,我还没有达到那个水准,这本书里只有布罗茨基讲述他的父母、童年记忆和跌宕人生的两...
评分1.格言式写作 艺术不模仿生活,哪怕仅仅出于担心陈词滥调。(《哀泣的缪斯》) 为了在极权主义压力下生存,艺术应发展出与那个压力强度成正比的密度。(《在但丁的阴影下》) 成为一个作家总是意味着成为一个新教徒。(《自然力》) 平等的概念,不是艺术本质固有的,而任何文...
评分草就。 这是一本去年饱受好评的书。黄灿然在布罗茨基《小于一》的中译本中称,这本书陪伴了他二十多年。受这本书的洗礼,“我们就不会对那些不管是流行作家还是精英作家的文章太过在意,这可省去我们很多时间。” 如果和那些时下流行的大多数出版物相比,我想黄灿然是对的,...
