书籍简介

《大西洋月刊》评选的美国伟大长篇小说之一

“如果要指出现代黑人文学史上具影响力的塑造力量，人们或许会想到赖特及其作品《土生子》的出版。”——亨利·路易斯·盖茨

为庆祝美国建国250周年，哈珀柯林斯出版社荣幸推出这套精选自其悠久书库的美国经典作品集。1940年，《土生子》出版，使理查德·赖特一举成名，成为文坛巨星。此后数十年间，这部被誉为“一部极具力量与美感的杰作”（《新闻周刊》）已成为备受推崇的经典之作，其意义和现实意义在今天依然历久弥新。

《土生子》的故事发生在20世纪30年代的芝加哥，讲述了年轻的黑人男子比格·托马斯在一次短暂的恐慌中杀死了一位年轻的白人女子后，从此陷入了人生的低谷。这部气势恢宏的作品以现代犯罪小说的独特节奏写成，既是对社会不公的控诉，也是对美国黑人生活经历的毫不留情的刻画，揭示了贫困、种族主义和绝望对人类精神造成的悲剧性影响。正如赖特所解释的：“我创作《土生子》是为了展现我们这个‘多数人社会’孕育出怎样的男男女女，我的目标是从日常意识的鲜活肌理和纹理出发来塑造人物形象。”

这版《土生子》是美国图书馆出版社（Library of America）整理的复原文本——正是赖特一开始设想的出版版本。此外，它还收录了赖特撰写的题为《“更伟大”的诞生》（How “Bigger” was Born）的文章，以及对文本的注释。

One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels

“If one had to identify the single most influential shaping force in modern Black literary history, one would probably have to point to Wright and the publication of Native Son.” – Henry Louis Gates Jr.

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, HarperCollins is proud to present this library of American classics drawn from our storied catalog. When it was first published in 1940, Native Son established Richard Wright as a literary star. In the decades since, Wright's masterpiece—hailed as "a novel of tremendous power and beauty" (Newsweek)—has become a revered classic that remains as timely and relevant today as when it first appeared.

Set in Chicago in the 1930s, Native Son is the story of Bigger Thomas, a young Black man caught in a downward spiral after killing a young white woman in a brief moment of panic. Written with the distinctive rhythm of a modern crime story, this formidable work is both a condemnation of social injustice and an unsparing portrait of the Black experience in America, revealing the tragic effect of poverty, racism, and hopelessness on the human spirit. As Wright explained, "I wrote Native Son to show what manner of men and women our 'society of the majority' breeds, and my aim was to depict a character in terms of the living tissue and texture of daily consciousness."

This edition of Native Son isthe restored text established by the Library of America—the novel as Wright intended it to be published. It also includes an essay by Wright titled, How "Bigger" was Born, along with notes on the text.
