The Black Prince (iris Murdoch)

318K0

This is the mid-term masterpiece of Iris Murdoch, the most speculative winner in the history of the Booker Prize. It is another masterpiece that those who like "The Sea, The Sea" must not miss. A delay triggered a suicide and murder, a series of coincidences triggered a "Lolita"-style romance between young and old, and a "celebration of love" ended with an unjust case. Philosophy and art are highly integrated, both philosophical and dramatic, and use an exquisite meta-fictional structure to explain literature, freedom, love, marriage, sex, morality and destiny. The protagonist, Bradley, a writer in his late sixties, wants to escape the city and live in the countryside. Just before departure, his ex-wife's brother arrives unexpectedly. From this moment on, he is fatally trapped in endless nightmares: harassment by his ex-wife; insanity of his sister who was abandoned by her husband; his old friend's wife has a secret love for him; and the most hopeless thing, which is also the core of the story, is that he had an unfaithful love affair with his old friend's daughter, and eventually died unjustly in prison. In this novel, which is highly integrated with philosophy and art, the postmodernist experimental technique with the self-deconstruction of the text as its prominent feature is worth studying and pondering. While constructing his own narrative world, the author deconstructs this world through self-explanation or commentary, making up fictions while exposing them, subverting the tradition of authors hiding behind the fictional world in novel creation. This book won the James Tate Brack Memorial Award.

This is not a traditional novel, memoir, essay or biography, but a new genre that mixes these genres, which is what New Statesman calls a "future genre": "It is fiction, but not a traditional novel; it is the author's first person, but not a memoir; it is a description of freely traveling through time and space, but it is always based on the present; it is a confession without regrets, and it is also a profound exploration of perception and emotion."

The Sui Dynasty, which began in 581 AD and ended in 618 AD, was an important transitional period in Chinese history that succeeded the Southern and Northern Dynasties and ushered in the Tang Dynasty. In the history of poetry, the poetry of the Sui Dynasty is also a link between the past and the future. It not only carries the legacy of the poetry of the late Southern and Northern Dynasties, but also heralds the rise of Tang poetry. Shen Deqian's original intention in compiling "Origins of Ancient Poetry" was precisely to trace back to the "source" of Tang poetry - he believed that Tang poetry did not come out of thin air, but had its own long development path. Therefore, Sui poetry, as the eve of Tang poetry, occupies a key position in the original version of "The Source of Ancient Poetry". Xue Daoheng, Yang Guang, Wang Zhou and Yu Shiji are important representatives in Sui poetry.

Shen Deqian built a poetry pedigree with "character as the foundation and poetry as the teaching" by selecting and commenting on the poetry of the Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty. From a contemporary perspective, Song poetry is not only the source of Tang poetry, but also an important source of natural aesthetics and social criticism of Chinese poetry, and its aesthetic influence is far-reaching. "Tang poems are implicit, while Song poems are explicit; implicit means the rhyme is beyond the meaning, and revealing means the meaning is in the words." Shen believes that compared with later Tang poetry, Song poetry is more straightforward in emotional expression and emphasizes "the meaning is in the words." The appreciation is beyond words.

The selection of Jin poems is based on the purpose of "tracing the origins of Tang style and identifying changes in styles", systematically combing the development of poetry from the Western Jin Dynasty to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It not only presents the gorgeous carvings of "Taikang Style" and the philosophical speculation of "Xuanyan Poetry", but also conveys its literary concepts of style-based and poetic education through sharp comments. Shen Deqian's anthology is an edition that is difficult to surpass among all the anthologies of the past. The blending of philosophy and landscape, the contradiction between rational interest and temperament, and the poeticization of reclusive spirit have far-reaching sustenance. Shen Deqian himself commented that the expansion of themes "laid the foundation for the overall prosperity of Tang poetry." The importance of Jin poetry is self-evident.

"The Chinese and the Japanese in the Eyes of Americans" is what the famous American philosopher John Dewey saw and heard when he traveled to Japan and China. It records China and Japan in 1919 and can be called a witness to the times a hundred years ago. John Dewey recorded the folk customs of China and Japan in detail in the last century, including some interesting historical details, such as the sense of responsibility of Chinese students to "take the world as their own responsibility", prosperous Shanghai, prosperous Hangzhou, Japanese bowing, prices and food, the people's awe of the emperor when the emperor traveled, Uji's tea, etc. These records are considered valuable first-hand historical materials today. In "The Chinese and the Japanese in American Eyes", John Dewey believed that Japan's background is still ancient, but new buds have grown inside, like trees in spring, trying to exude a breath of new life. Dewey was deeply shocked by the endless power and strong sense of responsibility of Chinese people, the climate and landscape that were completely different from New York, and the unparalleled philosophy of life.

"Red Star Shines on China" is a reportage written by American journalist Edgar Snow based on his interviews in the Yan'an Soviet Area. It is also the first documentary literature to report the activities of the Chinese Communist Party to the world. It has been a best-seller around the world since its publication. In June 1936, through the introduction of progressive figures such as Soong Ching Ling and Lu Xun, and with the help of the underground party of the Communist Party of China, Snow passed through numerous blockades and arrived in "Red China" in northern Shaanxi. Here he witnessed with his own eyes one of the few miracles in the practice of idealism in history: the successful Long March of the Red Army under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the opening of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Revolutionary Base Area. In the next more than 100 days, Snow traveled to Ansai, Baoan and other counties and towns, interviewed hundreds of Red Army generals and soldiers including Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Peng Dehuai, and used his own eyes and writing to record the legendary stories of this group of people who had experienced 25,000 miles of hardships: how they lived, how they fought, and how they rose up as a red force on the Loess Plateau, created a new world, and became the "light of hope" shining on ancient China. The main body of this book consists of twelve chapters, which mainly describe the fighting, study and life of the leaders of the Communist Party of China, Red Army generals, soldiers, farmers, herdsmen, workers, Communist Youth League members and Young Pioneers in the Soviet Area. The most important contents are Chapter 4 "The Origin of a Communist Party Member" and Chapter 5 "The Long March". "The Origin of a Communist" is Comrade Mao Zedong's only autobiography that was personally revised and narrated in the first person. It truly demonstrates the ideals, beliefs and magnanimity of the Chinese Communists. "The Long March" tells the entire process from the Red Army's failure in the fifth counter-encirclement and suppression campaign to the Red Army's victory in the Long March, including breaking through the four blockades, flying to seize the Luding Bridge, and crossing the snow-capped mountains and grasslands. It is not only the core of the entire work, but also the most exciting chapter in the history of the Chinese revolution. The author Snow uses a unique line drawing technique to vividly restore those passionate years for today's readers: from the heroic spirit of the leader to the simple faith of the soldiers, from the barren desolation of the Loess Plateau to the prosperity of the spiritual world of the revolutionaries. The book also predicts the turning point of China's destiny and the victory of the Communist Party twenty years in advance. This book is based on the 1968 English supplemented and revised edition of "Red Star Shines on China" as the translation base. For some obvious historical errors in the original work, corrections and supplementary annotations are also made with reference to relevant historical materials.
