诺奖得主索尔·贝娄经典代表作 1965年获美国国家图书奖 赫索格是一位博学多识的大学教授，他品格高尚，为人敏感善良，但是现实生活却处处跟他过不去，特别是妻子玛德琳和挚友瓦伦丁的私情让他的精神处于崩溃的边缘。从此他变得行为怪诞，不停地给人写信，但一封也未寄出。他无论走到哪里，都提着这只装满信件的旅行包。和妻子离婚后，赫索格在纽约和花店女主人雷梦娜保持着若即若离的关系。雷蒙娜非常渴望和赫索格建立一个宁静的家庭，可是赫索格对婚姻已经害怕了。一天，他忽然心血来潮，回到芝加哥，一是看望女儿，二是想杀死前妻和瓦伦丁。但在目睹了瓦伦丁细心照顾他女儿洗澡后，打消了杀人的念头，积郁许久的恨刹那间都消失了。 他回到乡间旧屋，开始认真地回顾几年来的经历。不久，雷蒙娜闻讯也赶到这里。他为雷蒙娜打扫房间，安排饭菜，甚至为她准备了一大束鲜花…… 在贝娄的小说中，《赫索格》被公认为是他创作技巧运用得最成熟、最能体现他的创作特色的作品，在他整个创作历程中起着承上启下的重要作用，也是他涉及社会问题最多的一部小说，内容丰富，寓意深刻，分析精妙，手法多样，真实地表现了中产阶级知识分子在现代社会中的苦闷与迷惘，追寻和探索。 《赫索格》出版于1964年，1965年获美国国家图书奖，被英国读者选为二战后12部用英语创作的最佳小说之一。 ———————————— 赫索格的这些信件带给我们的千般喜悦，并不亚于整本书，它们是解开赫索格那无限智慧并进入他苦难生活的喧嚣深处的最好的钥匙。信件是他强烈思想的表露，为他的智慧提供了舞台。在这场独角戏中，他是不可能装疯卖傻的。……《赫索格》在我看来是贝娄小说中的上品。 ——菲利普·罗斯 《赫索格》所具有的广度、深度、张力、语言才华、富有想象力的丰满度，是我们对注定会长久存世的小说唯一期待的东西。 ——《新闻周刊》

In 1845, just seven years after his escape from slavery, the young Frederick Douglass published this powerful account of his life in bondage and his triumph over oppression. The book, which marked the beginning of Douglass’s career as an impassioned writer, journalist, and orator for the abolitionist cause, reveals the terrors he faced as a slave, the brutalities of his owners and overseers, and his harrowing escape to the North. It has become a classic of American autobiography. This edition of the book, based on the authoritative text that appears in Yale University Press’s multivolume edition of the Frederick Douglass Papers, is the only edition of Douglass’s Narrative designated as an Approved Text by the Modern Language Association’s Committee on Scholarly Editions. It includes a chronology of Douglass’s life, a thorough introduction by the eminent Douglass scholar John Blassingame, historical notes, and reader responses to the first edition of 1845. “None so dramatically as Douglass integrated both the horror and the great quest of the African-American experience into the deep stream of American autobiography. He advanced and extended that tradition and is rightfully designated one of its greatest practitioners.”--John W. Blassingame, from the introduction The powerful story of slavery that has become a classic of American autobiography, now in an authoritative edition. The late John W. Blassingame was professor of history and African and African-American studies at Yale University. John R. McKivigan is Mary O’Brien Gibson Professor of History at Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis. Peter P. Hinks is assistant professor of history at Hamilton College. Gerald Fulkerson is professor of communication and literature at Freed-Hardeman University.

When Black Boy exploded onto the literary scene in 1945, it caused a sensation. Orville Prescott of the New York Times wrote that "if enough such books are written, if enough millions of people read them maybe, someday, in the fullness of time, there will be a greater understanding and a more true democracy." Opposing forces felt compelled to comment: addressing Congress, Senator Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi argued that the purpose of this book "was to plant seeds of hate and devilment in the minds of every American." From 1975 to 1978, Black Boy was banned in schools throughout the United States for "obscenity" and "instigating hatred between the races."

This new edition of the once controversial, now classic American autobiography measures the brutality and rawness of the Jim Crow South against the sheer desperate will it took to survive as "black boy." Richard Wright grew up in the woods of Mississippi, with poverty, hunger, fear, and hatred. He lied, stole, and raged at those about him; at six he was "a drunkard," hanging about taverns. Surly, brutal, cold, suspicious, and self-pitying, he was surrounded on one side by whites who were either indifferent to him, pitying, or cruel, and on the other by blacks who resented anyone trying to rise above the common lot. At the end of Black Boy, Wright sits poised with pencil in hand, determined to "hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo."

Wright's eloquent account is at once a profound indictment and an unashamed confession -- a poignant and disturbing record of social injustice and human suffering.

HarperCollins is proud to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the book's publication with this special hardcover edition, which utilizes the restored text established by The Library of America and features a new foreword by Edward P. Jones, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Known World.

当代美国最重要的黑人作家，1993年度诺贝尔文学奖得主托妮·莫瑞森的第四部长篇小说。小说主要讲述了黑人儿子和白人吉德的爱情故事。笔触细腻，人物、语言及故事情节生动逼真，想像力丰富。这个黑白之间，看似寻常的爱情故事可以看作剖析当代美国社会的一个典型缩影。虽然就实际生活而言，这种个案并不广泛，但它所揭示的民族、文化、阶级性的内在紧张却是一个经久不衰，值得人们永远咀嚼与反思的话题。
