安德烈·纪德 translator: 陈阳 publishing house: 云南人民出版社 2016 - 11
【内容简介】 《人间食粮》是法国作家纪德的散文作品集。纪德游历北非和意大利之后,以沿途漫游为线索,以虚拟的女神为倾诉对象,描摹异国风情,抒发人生感怀,文字如诗如画、形式多样,包含传统的短诗、颂歌、旋曲等。在书中,纪德用炽热之情呼唤用脚步去丈量大地,用文字表达真实的感受。他蔑视传统道德,提倡自由,尤其强调对自然对人生的强烈感受,并以这种感受作为精神食粮。 【编辑推荐】 《人间食粮》主张从书本“返回”到大地,它反对“观念”,一切听从“感性”的呼唤。 “希望你是因为我的书而对自己产生了兴趣,继而对其他一切都有了更大的兴趣。” 生命的激情像宗教一般神圣,任何感觉都是一种无限的存在。只有你感觉到了,一切才真正有意义。 此书可谓纪德本人最激越的精神独白,被奉为“不安的一代人的《圣经》”。
The Persian Boy
Douban Goodreads
Mary Renault publishing house: Vintage 1988 - 2
“It takes skill to depict, as Miss Renault has done, this half-man, half Courtesan who is so deeply in love with the warrior.” - The Atlantic Monthly The Persian Boy traces the last years of Alexander’s life through the eyes of his lover, Bagoas. Abducted and gelded as a boy, Bagoas was sold as a courtesan to King Darius of Persia, but found freedom with Alexander after the Macedon army conquered his homeland. Their relationship sustains Alexander as he weathers assassination plots, the demands of two foreign wives, a sometimes-mutinous army, and his own ferocious temper. After Alexander’s mysterious death, we are left wondering if this Persian boy understood the great warrior and his ambitions better than anyone.
