内容简介

Kurt Vonnegut's absurdist classic Slaughterhouse-Five introduces us to Billy Pilgrim, a man who becomes 'unstuck in time' after he is abducted by aliens from the planet Tralfamadore. In a plot-scrambling display of virtuosity, we follow Pilgrim simultaneously through all phases of his life, concentrating on his (and Vonnegut's) shattering experience as an American prisoner of war who witnesses the firebombing of Dresden.

Slaughterhouse-Five is not only Vonnegut's most powerful book, it is also as important as any written since 1945. Like Catch-22, it fashions the author's experiences in the Second World War into an eloquent and deeply funny plea against butchery in the service of authority. Slaughterhouse-Five boasts the same imagination, humanity, and gleeful appreciation of the absurd found in Vonnegut's other works, but the book's basis in rock-hard, tragic fact gives it unique poignancy -- and humor.

作者简介

Born in 1922, Vonnegut grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana. His architect father suffered great financial setbacks during the Depression and was unemployed for long stretches of time. His mother suffered from mental illness and eventually committed suicide in 1944, a trauma that haunted Vonnegut all his life. He attended Cornell in the early 1940s, but quit in order to enlist in the Army during WWII.

Vonnegut was shipped to Europe, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and was captured behind enemy lines and incarcerated in a German prison camp. As a POW, he witnessed the firebombing of Dresden by Allied forces, an event of devastating magnitude that left an indelible impression on the young soldier.

After the war, Vonnegut returned home and married his high school sweetheart. In addition to two daughters and a son of their own, he and his first wife adopted three children orphaned in 1958 by the death of Vonnegut's sister Alice. (He and his second wife adopted another daughter.) The family lived in Chicago and Schenectady before settling in Cape Cod, where Vonnegut began to concentrate seriously on his writing. His first novel, the darkly dystopian Player Piano, was published in 1952 and met with moderate success. Three additional novels followed (including the critically acclaimed Cat's Cradle), but it was not until the publication of 1969's Slaughterhouse Five that Vonnegut achieved true literary stardom. Based on the author's wartime experiences in Dresden, the novel resonated powerfully in the social upheaval of the Vietnam era.

Although he is best known for his novels (a genre-blending mix of social satire, science fiction, surrealism, and black comedy), Vonnegut also wrote short fiction, essays, and plays (the best known of which was Happy Birthday, Wanda June). In addition, he was a talented graphic artist who illustrated many of his books and exhibited sporadically during his literary career. He died on April 11, 2007, after suffering irreversible brain injuries as a result of a fall.

作为德裔美国人，冯内古特的民族身份在第二次世界大战期间受到严峻考验。战争初期，冯内古特坚决反战，为《康奈尔太阳报》撰写了不少反战文章。但在日本军队偷袭珍珠港之后，他改变了立场，志愿应征入伍，赴欧洲参战。这时的冯内古特，保卫西方文明的信念战胜了民族情感。1944年12月，冯内古特在著名的保吉战役中被德军俘虏，关押在德国城市德累斯顿。1945年2月13—14日，英美空军在德军战败已成定局的情况下，对不设防的历史文化名城德累斯顿实施了狂轰滥炸，整个城市被摧毁殆尽，十多万居民丧身其中。冯内古特因为被关押在一家屠宰场的地窖中，成为侥幸逃过浩劫的极少数人之一。这段恐怖经历对冯内古特来说刻骨铭心，让他看到民族间的仇杀如何达到歇斯底里的疯狂程度。冯内古特把自己生命最后一部作品命名为“没有国家的人”，这显示在精神归属上，他已经不再把美国当成自己的祖国。冯内古特用意何在﹖我以为他不是从自己的德裔立场出发，对主流的英裔美国人宣泄愤恨情绪。他实际上抛弃了历史上两个民族间的恩怨情仇，超越了对种族歧视的单纯批判，站在一个更高的角度思考人类面对的共同问题。这种境界是令人钦佩的。
