内容简介

1936年夏天，W.H.奥登和路易斯·麦克尼斯受委托访问了冰岛，准备写一本旅游书，但他们发现自己所关注的问题规模要大得多，而且具有国际性。虽然是以 "度假 "的精神写作，"奥登评论说，"作者一直意识到他们的野餐有一个威胁的地平线--全世界的失业，希特勒每天都在变得更加强大，世界大战更加不可避免。其结果是了不起的《冰岛来信》，这是一次诗歌和散文、报告文学和通信的合作，于1937年出版，当时西班牙内战刚刚开始，在迫在眉睫的世界大战的阴影之下。

In the summer of 1936, W. H. Auden and Louis MacNeice visited Iceland on commission to write a travel book, but found themselves capturing concerns on a scale that were far more international. 'Though writing in a "holiday" spirit,' commented Auden, 'its authors were all the time conscious of a threatening horizon to their picnic - world-wide unemployment, Hitler growing everyday more powerful and a world-war more inevitable.' The result is the remarkable Letters from Iceland, a collaboration in poetry and prose, reportage and correspondence, published in 1937 with the Spanish Civil War newly in progress, beneath the shadow of looming world war.
