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.

书是真品,很好 我在网上买的几本书送到了。取书的时候,忽然想起一家小书店,就在我们大院对面的街上,以前我常去,书店的名字毫无记忆,但店里的女老板我很熟,每次需要什么书都先给她打电话说好,晚上散步再去取。我们像朋友一样聊天,她还时常替读者找我签名。可是,自从学会从网上购书后,我再也没去过她那里了,今天忽然想起她,晚上散步到她那里,她要我教她在网上买书,这就是帮她在京东上买了这本书。好了,废话不说。好了,我现在来说说这本书的观感吧,网络文学融入主流文学之难,在于文学批评家的缺席,在于衡量标准的混乱,很长一段时间,文学批评家对网络文学集体失语,直到最近一两年来,诸多活跃于文学批评领域的评论家,才开始着手建立网络文学的评价体系,很难得的是,他们迅速掌握了网络文学的魅力内核,并对网络文学给予了高度评价、寄予了很深的厚望。随着网络文学理论体系的建立,以及网络文学在创作水准上的不断提高,网络文学成为主流文学中的主流已是清晰可见的事情,下一届的“五个一工程奖”,我们期待看到更多网络文学作品的入选。宝贝非常不错,和图片上描述的完全吻合,丝毫不差,无论色泽还是哪些方面,都十分让我觉得应该称赞较好,完美! 书是正品,很不错!速度也快,绝对的好评,下次还来京东,因为看到一句话 女人可以不买漂亮衣服不买奢侈的化妆品但不能不看书,买了几本书都很好 值得看。京东商城图书频道提供丰富的图书产品,种类包括小说、文学、传记、艺术、少儿、经济、管理、生活等图书的网上销售,为您提供最佳的购书体验。网购上京东,省钱又放心!在网上购物,动辄就要十多元的运费,往往是令许多网购消费者和商家踌躇于网购及销售的成本。就在买方卖方都在考虑成本的同时,京东做了一个表率性的举动。只要达到某个会员级别,不分品类实行全场免运费。这是一个太摔的举动了,支持京东。给大家介绍本好书《小时代3.0:刺金时代》内容简介《小时代3.0:刺金时代》是郭敬明的第五部长篇小说,于2007年11月开始在《最小说》上独家连载,获得读者们空前热烈的追捧,各大媒体的相关讨论和争议也层出不穷,一场火爆的《小时代3.0:刺金时代》风潮由此掀起。郭敬明在《小时代3.0:刺金时代》的创作中,又一次展现了对多种文字风格的完美驾驭能力。他以全新的叙事风格和敏感而细微的笔触,将当代青少年、大学生、都市白领的生活和情感故事集中、加工、娓娓道来,从小角度展现了作者对整个社会的观察和思考。这部长篇系列正式开始前,郭敬明曾许诺将要连续创作五年,而在五年终结之际,《小时代3.0:刺金时代》系列将如约迎来它辉煌的谢幕。林萧、简溪、顾源、顾里、南湘、唐宛如……五年间,他们已然成为陪伴读者们度过青春时期的伙伴,他们仿佛活生生地站在读者身边,呼吸着,微笑着,与每一个人共同欢乐,共同哭泣。故事有终结的一天,然而人物却能跃出故事,在读者心中长长久久地鲜活下去,从这个意义上来讲,《小时代3.0:刺金时代》是每一个读者的小时代,它永远也不会完结。
