世界文学经典读本:老人与海·非洲的青山(英文版)
内容简介
《老人与海》虽仅算一个中篇,却是海明威一生写作的最重要的一部书。作品讲述的是古巴的一位老渔夫在湾流中同一条巨大的马林鱼所进行的搏斗,命运在相对渺小的个人力量面前既神秘又不可战胜,但尤为重要的是老渔夫在同命运的抗争中显示出顽强不屈的硬汉子精神,虽败犹荣,从而使作品获得了丰富而深广的象征意义。1954年,海明威“因精通于叙事艺术,突出地表现在其近著《老人与海》之中;同时也因为对当代文体风格之影响”而获得诺贝尔文学奖。
《非洲的青山》是海明威早年写作的一部纪实性作品,笔法精湛,叙事简洁而不枯燥,是海明威表现其大师风范的又·扛鼎之作,成就足与“虚构的作品相媲美”。
