Wandering in the Rain Pond
Literature漫游在雨中池塘
(us) George Sanders
"Wandering on a Rainy Pond" is a collection of witty and humorous reviews compiled by George Saunders, the Booker Prize winner and New York Times best-selling author, based on his more than twenty years of experience teaching 19th-century Russian literature at Syracuse University. In this book, Sanders provides an in-depth analysis of seven classic Russian short stories: Chekhov's "On the Carriage," "Baby," and "Gooseberry," Turgenev's "The Singer," Tolstoy's "Master and Servant," "The Broken Jar of Alyosha," and Gogol's "The Nose." He guides readers to explore the structure of short stories and identify ingenious designs and inadvertent flashes of inspiration in the works. In addition, there are three after-school activities at the end of the book: "Deletion Exercise", "Upgrade Exercise" and "Translation Exercise", which encourage readers to stimulate their creative enthusiasm and try to pick up a pen.
