The allure of concise, impactful storytelling. The promise of "Fifty Great American Short Stories" is incredibly compelling, particularly for someone who appreciates the artistry of concise, impactful storytelling. I’ve always found the short story form to be a powerful medium, capable of delivering profound emotional resonance and intellectual stimulation within a limited word count. It requires a masterful command of language and a keen understanding of human nature to craft a narrative that is both contained and expansive. This collection, by aiming for "greatness" in fifty instances, suggests a curated selection of stories that have truly mastered this art. I’m curious about the thematic diversity that will likely be present. Will there be stories that explore themes of loss, love, ambition, or societal critique? The American landscape, both literal and metaphorical, is so rich and varied, and I expect these stories to reflect that complexity. The thought of immersing myself in fifty distinct worlds, each crafted with precision and purpose, is incredibly appealing. It's the idea of encountering fully realized characters and compelling plots that, despite their brevity, leave a lasting impression and spark contemplation about life, humanity, and the American spirit.
評分A promise of diverse voices and experiences. This collection, "Fifty Great American Short Stories," immediately struck me as a monumental undertaking, aiming to distill the essence of American literary achievement into fifty select pieces. What excites me most is the potential for incredible diversity within its pages. American short fiction, in my experience, is a tapestry woven with threads of different cultures, social strata, and historical moments. I’m hoping to encounter stories that reflect the immigrant experience, tales of rural isolation, the vibrant pulse of city life, and perhaps even narratives that challenge conventional notions of American identity. The title itself suggests a curated selection, a distillation of greatness, and I'm eager to discover which stories have been deemed worthy of this honor. Will there be explorations of race and prejudice, the struggles of the working class, or the quiet dramas of domestic life? The short story form is particularly adept at capturing nuanced emotions and complex relationships, offering intimate glimpses into lives that might otherwise remain unseen. I can already picture myself comparing and contrasting the styles and themes of different authors, noting the evolution of American thought and sensibility through these distinct narratives. This book promises not just entertainment, but a profound journey through the American psyche.
評分First encounter with the collection! I just received my copy of "Fifty Great American Short Stories" and I'm absolutely thrilled to dive in. The cover itself feels substantial, a good weight in my hands, promising a collection of stories that have stood the test of time. I’ve always been drawn to the concise power of the short story, its ability to encapsulate a complete emotional arc or a slice of life within a limited space. American literature, in particular, has such a rich tradition of this form, exploring everything from the vastness of the frontier to the quiet desperation of urban existence. I'm particularly excited to see which authors have made the cut. Will it be the masters like Hemingway and Faulkner, whose names are practically synonymous with American storytelling? Or perhaps some lesser-known gems that offer a fresh perspective on the American experience? The sheer promise of fifty distinct voices, each offering a unique window into the human condition, is incredibly alluring. I envision myself curling up with this book on a rainy afternoon, getting lost in different eras and landscapes, meeting unforgettable characters, and pondering the profound insights that only a well-crafted short story can deliver. The anticipation is building, and I can already feel the mental shift from the mundane to the literary. This isn't just a book; it's an invitation to explore the heart and soul of a nation through its most compelling narratives.
評分A gateway to understanding the American narrative. What draws me to a collection like "Fifty Great American Short Stories" is the unparalleled opportunity it presents to gain a deeper understanding of the American narrative. Short stories, by their nature, often zoom in on specific moments, characters, and conflicts, offering concentrated insights into the human condition and the societal forces at play. I’m eager to see how these fifty selections will illuminate different facets of the American experience – from its historical development and evolving social landscapes to the enduring dreams and persistent challenges faced by its people. Will there be stories that capture the spirit of innovation and optimism, alongside those that confront its darker undercurrents of inequality and disillusionment? The sheer breadth implied by "fifty great" suggests a comprehensive sweep, touching upon various regions, time periods, and cultural backgrounds. This is more than just a reading list; it's a potential map of the American soul, rendered through the artistry of its finest storytellers. I anticipate encountering characters who will stay with me, situations that will provoke thought, and prose that will inspire awe, all contributing to a richer, more nuanced appreciation of what it means to be American.
評分Anticipating literary fireworks and quiet revelations. The very idea of "Fifty Great American Short Stories" conjures images of literary brilliance, of carefully honed prose and unforgettable characters. I’m anticipating a blend of explosive narratives and subtle, introspective pieces. Some stories, I imagine, will grab you by the collar and shake you, leaving you breathless with their intensity and thematic depth. Think of those stories that tackle grand societal issues or delve into moments of extreme human drama. Then there will be others, I suspect, that creep up on you, their power residing in quiet observations, in the unspoken emotions and the everyday tragedies and triumphs that define our lives. The American short story has a particular talent for capturing that delicate balance, for finding the extraordinary in the ordinary. I’m keen to see the range of emotional palettes employed by the selected authors. Will there be humor, pathos, satire, or a healthy dose of all three? The prospect of encountering fifty distinct literary voices, each with their own unique rhythm and perspective, is a deeply satisfying one. This isn't just about reading stories; it's about experiencing a distillation of American consciousness, a collection of moments that resonate long after the last page is turned.
評分慢慢看咯
評分看瞭一下書後麵的標價,原價是7美元。作為平時消遣還可以吧
評分在書店看上瞭這本書一直想買可惜太貴又不打摺,迴傢決定上京東看看,果然有摺扣。毫不猶豫的買下瞭,京東速度果然非常快的,從配貨到送貨也很具體,快遞非常好,很快收到書瞭。書的包裝非常好,沒有拆開過,非常新,可以說無論自己閱讀傢人閱讀,收藏還是送人都特彆有麵子的說,特彆精美;各種十分美好雖然看著書本看著相對簡單,但也不遑多讓,塑封都很完整封麵和封底的設計、繪圖都十分好畫讓我覺得十分細膩具有收藏價值。書的封套非常精緻推薦大傢購買。
評分包裝看上去很普通,就是一個袋子,但是京東的快遞運輸比較小心,所以到手時還是沒有問題,全新,正版。慢慢寒鼕,下午一個人,喝著茶,守著加濕器和電暖氣,讀點書,生活需要不就是這種安逸嗎?書的內容需要慢慢品讀,再好的書,也不如自己的故事。這些天,我幾乎除瞭吃飯和睡覺,一切時間都耗費在這本來自遙遠國度的小說裏。然而我還得在抱怨的同時,不得不承認它的傑齣與迷人。很少見到這樣迷人的異國風情。這充滿著英國十九世紀趣味的故事裏,讓我感慨瞭很多。其實我應該早些接觸這本書,早就有很多的人介紹它瞭。可惜,我擁有著一點排外的情愫,一直拖到現在去欣賞它,實在有些相見恨晚。人的一生中之所以能不斷提高,與其始終如一的學習是分不開的,所謂活到老學到老,莊子說,吾生也有涯,而知無涯。知識是沒有窮盡的,堅持學習讓人始終處於不敗之地。反之,沒有知識的不斷補充和積纍,人便會落後於時代。歌德說過,誰落後於時代,就將承受那個時代所有的痛苦。特彆是在現今知識爆炸的年代裏,不能接觸新的知識便會被時代所淘汰。讀書的好處有很多.給你介紹以下幾點: 1.可以使我們增長見識,不齣門,便可知天下事. 2.可提高我們的閱讀能力和寫作水平. 3.可以使我們變的有修養. 4.可以使我們找到好工作. 5.可以使我們在競爭激烈的社會立於不敗之地. ...... 其實讀書有很多好處,就等有心人去慢慢發現. 最大的好處是可以讓你有屬於自己的本領靠自己生存。 讓你的生活過得更充實,學習到不同的東西。感受世界的不同。網購己成習慣!正版,便宜,快捷,非常滿意 閑暇之餘,有人樂於下棋、玩麻將;有人喜歡打牌、酗酒、遊山逛水;餘獨愛書。為消遣而讀書,常見於獨處退居之時,為裝飾而讀書,多用於高談闊論之中;為增長纔乾而讀書,主要在於對事物的判斷和處理。 讀書費時太多是怠惰,過分的藻飾裝璜是矯情,全按書本條文而斷事是十足的學究氣。讀書使天然得以完善,又需靠經驗以補其不足,因為天生的纔能猶如天然的樹木,要靠後來的學習來修剪整枝,而書本上的道理如不用經驗加以製約,往往是泛泛而不著邊際的。 讀書不可專為反駁作者而爭辯,也不可輕易相信書中所言,以為當然如此,也不是為瞭尋找談話資料。而應當權衡輕重,認真思考。有些書淺嘗即可,另一些不妨吞咽,少數書則須咀嚼消化。這就是說,有的書隻要讀其中一部分,有的可以大緻瀏覽,少數則須通讀,讀時要全神貫注,勤奮不懈。有些書也可請人代讀,取其所需作摘要,但這隻限於題材不大重要和質量不高的作品。
評分挺有意思,不過英文要很好,不然單詞都不認識
評分非常喜歡,再生紙很有味道。書裏麵也沒有漏印和錯印
評分物美價廉!最大的優點!比較喜歡這個係列的叢書!第一,價格實惠,物美價廉!以這樣的價格能買到這麼好品質的書是相當的不錯的瞭!第二,是正版書!這個十分地重要,不然難以確保內容的正確性。第三,這個係列的叢書的版本也都還不錯,並不是那些比較糟糕的譯本,所也推薦!反正,對於資金並不是特彆充裕的人,選擇這個係列的叢書還是一個不錯的選擇。不然,同樣買一企鵝齣版的外文書的錢,能夠買這個版本的書好多本瞭,能夠接觸更多的作品,何樂而不為呢!這個係列的也都是一些經典的作品,大師的作品。這些作品機智、俏皮、辛辣、奇特,多為社會諷刺和政治諷刺,無情嘲弄上層社會的陳腐庸俗與愚蠢淺陋。故事結構巧妙,多以異峰突起式的意外結局點明主題;對話機智俏皮,為故事增添瞭不少情趣。物美價廉,印刷質量很好,紙張也保護眼睛。真希望國內的經典作品應該有這樣的齣版機會,以提高國民的普遍素養。對個人來說,閱讀也實際上也是生命陳長的過程。一個人閱讀什麼書,也就預示著以後會成為什麼樣的人。從外在的角度來說,閱讀本身實際上是一個人對外在世界探索的方法,通過閱讀可以收集到足夠的信息和知識,從而能夠更加從容地應對社會萬象。從內在的角度來說,閱讀實際上就是對自身生命潛質的開發,當我們發現書中作者的某個思想觸動我們的靈魂,就有可能發現我們生命地脈裏蘊藏的寶藏,生命的激情與潛能也由此而被激發,因為閱讀的過程實際上也就是一個生命與生命、心靈與心靈之間相互感通的過程。閱讀的德性也決定瞭個體寫作的德性,政治哲學傢列奧•斯特勞斯指齣,閱讀習慣造就寫作習慣,“一般來說,人們怎樣閱讀就怎樣寫作。通常,細心的作者也是細心的讀者,反之亦然。我們的知識體係是通過課內外的自主學習而逐漸建立起來的。讀書是搜集和汲取知識的一條重要途徑。我們從課堂上掌握的知識不是很具體和容易理解的,需要再消化纔會吸收。大量的閱讀,可以將自己從課內學到的知識,融匯到從課外書籍中所獲取的知識中去,相得益彰,形成“立體”的,牢固的知識體係,直至形成能力。 讀書不僅對我們的學習有著重要作用,對道德素質和思想意識也有重大影響。“一本好書,可以影響人的一生。”這句話是有道理的。我們都有自己心中的英雄或學習的榜樣,如軍人、科學傢、老師、英雄人物等。這些令我們崇拜或學習和模仿的楷模,也可以通過閱讀各類書籍所認識。我們在進行閱讀時,會潛意識地將自己的思想和行為與書中所描述的人物形象進行比較,無形中就提高瞭自身的思想意識和道德素質。推薦購買!!
評分非常好的一本書,京東配送也不錯!讀書是一種提升自我的藝術。“玉不琢不成器,人不學不知道。”讀書是一種學習的過程。一本書有一個故事,一個故事敘述一段人生,一段人生摺射一個世界。“讀萬捲書,行萬裏路”說的正是這個道理。讀詩使人高雅,讀史使人明智。讀每一本書都會有不同的收獲。“懸梁刺股”、“螢窗映雪”,自古以來,勤奮讀書,提升自我是每一個人的畢生追求。讀書是一種最優雅的素質,能塑造人的精神,升華人的思想。 讀書是一種充實人生的藝術。沒有書的人生就像空心的竹子一樣,空洞無物。書本是人生最大的財富。猶太人讓孩子們親吻塗有蜂蜜的書本,是為瞭讓他們記住:書本是甜的,要讓甜蜜充滿人生就要讀書。讀書是一本人生最難得的存摺,一點一滴地積纍,你會發現自己是世界上最富有的人。 讀書是一種感悟人生的藝術。讀杜甫的詩使人感悟人生的辛酸,讀李白的詩使人領悟官場的腐敗,讀魯迅的文章使人認清社會的黑暗,讀巴金的文章使人感到未來的希望。每一本書都是一個朋友,教會我們如何去看待人生。讀書是人生的一門最不缺少的功課,閱讀書籍,感悟人生,助我們走好人生的每一步。 書是燈,讀書照亮瞭前麵的路;書是橋,讀書接通瞭彼此的岸;書是帆,讀書推動瞭人生的船。讀書是一門人生的藝術,因為讀書,人生纔更精彩! 讀書,是好事;讀大量的書,更值得稱贊。 讀書是一種享受生活的藝術。五柳先生“好讀書,不求甚解,每有會意,便欣然忘食”。當你枯燥煩悶,讀書能使你心情愉悅;當你迷茫惆悵時,讀書能平靜你的 心,讓你看清前路;當你心情愉快時,讀書能讓你發現身邊更多美好的事物,讓你更加享受生活。讀書是一種最美麗的享受。“書中自有黃金屋,書中自有顔如 玉。” 一位叫亞剋敦的英國人,他的書齋裏雜亂的堆滿瞭各科各類的圖書,而且每本書上都有著手跡。讀到這裏是不是有一種敬佩之意油然而升。因為“有瞭書,就象鳥兒有瞭翅膀”嗎! 然而,我們很容易忽略的是:有好書並不一定能讀好書。正如這位亞剋敦,雖然他零零碎碎地記住瞭不少知識,可當人傢問他時,他總是七拉八扯說不清楚。這裏的原因隻有一個,那就是他不善長於讀書,而隻會“依葫蘆畫瓢”。 硃熹說過:“讀書之法,在循序漸進,熟讀而精思。” 所謂“循序漸進”,就是學習、工作等按照一定的步驟諑漸深入或提高。也就是說我們並不要求書有幾韆甚至幾萬,根本的目的在於對自己的書要層層深入,點點掌握,關鍵還在於把握自己的讀書速度。至於“熟讀”,顧名思義,就是要把自己看過的書在看,在看,看的滾瓜爛熟,,能活學活用。而“精思”則是“循序漸進”,“熟讀”的必然結果,也必然是讀書的要決。有瞭細緻、精練的思索纔能更高一層的理解書所要講的道理
