书籍简介

★入选《新政治家》、《金融时报》、《观察家》和《星期日泰晤士报》年度图书。

在 T. S. 艾略特的知名诗作《荒原》问世一百周年之际，该书对其创作过程进行了引人入胜的描述。

“令人震撼的好故事”——星期日电讯报

“一部艺术作品”——泰晤士报文学副刊

《荒原》被称为 "世界上伟大的诗篇"。据说它描述了战后世界的道德沦丧，在一个毫无意义的时代寻找意义。它被称为那个时代真实的诗歌，也被称为高超的伪作。T. S. 艾略特的这部神秘杰作在 1922 年出版后的一个世纪里，仍然是有史以来具影响力的作品之一，同时也是神秘的作品之一。

马修·霍利斯（Matthew Hollis）在这部非凡的传记中，重构了这首诗的思想创作，并将其充满激情的时代的物质现实生动地展现在读者面前。他将历史片段、日记、动态文学评论和启发性的新研究拼接在一起，通过《荒原》的主人公--编辑《荒原》的埃兹拉-庞德、支撑《荒原》的薇薇安-艾略特和 T. S. 艾略特本人--的生活，揭示了铸就《荒原》的文化和个人创伤，而艾略特的私人痛苦则交织在作品的缝隙中。这本书讲述了一个令人难忘的故事：他们的人生轨迹截然相反，但却留下了令人震惊的文学遗产。

** Chosen as a New Statesman, Financial Times, Observer and Sunday Times Book of the Year **

A riveting account of the making of T. S. Eliot's celebrated poem The Waste Land on its centenary.

'A rattling good story' Sunday Telegraph

'A work of art' Times Literary Supplement

The Waste Land has been called the 'World's Greatest Poem'. It is said to describe the moral decay of a world after war, to find meaning in a meaningless era. It has been labelled the most truthful poem of its time; it has been branded a masterful fake. A century after its publication in 1922, T. S. Eliot's enigmatic masterpiece remains one of the most influential works ever written, and yet one of the most mysterious.

In a remarkable feat of biography, Matthew Hollis reconstructs the intellectual creation of the poem and brings the material reality of its charged times vividly to life. Presenting a mosaic of historical fragments, diaries, dynamic literary criticism and illuminating new research, he reveals the cultural and personal trauma that forged The Waste Land through the lives of its protagonists - of Ezra Pound, who edited it; of Vivien Eliot, who sustained it; and of T. S. Eliot himself, whose private torment is woven into the seams of the work. The result is an unforgettable story of lives passing in opposing directions and the astounding literary legacy they would leave behind.
