书籍简介

《费伯故事系列》是一部具有里程碑意义的短篇小说系列，呈现了各种流派和风格的短篇小说大师们的作品。

狡猾的猫，奇怪的爱情，可憎的女儿:伟大的美国诗人玛丽安·摩尔重述了三个故事，最初是由查尔斯·佩罗写的，以娱乐路易十四的侄女。现代读者可能会惊讶地发现，王子不会用一个吻叫醒睡美人——他越是在乎，就越不愿意打扰——而且他的母亲是食人魔的后裔。

摩尔的小说以生动的形象、简洁的散文、别出心裁的头韵和狡黠的怀疑论者的机智著称，他的小说不止是讲述一个故事:“看到一个问题解决了，”她写道，每一个都在脑海中留下了“一种秩序的模式”。“

把我们九十年代的过去、现在和将来放在一起，《费伯故事系列》是一本值得庆祝的可收藏的作品。

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. A wily cat, a strange romance, detestable daughters: the great American poet Marianne Moore retells three stories originally written by Charles Perrault to amuse the niece of Louis XIV. Modern readers may be surprised to find that the prince does not wake Sleeping Beauty with a kiss - the more he cares, the less willing he is to intrude - and that his mother is descended from ogres.

Characterised by vivid imagery, uncluttered prose, inventive alliteration and a sly sceptic's wit, Moore's versions do more than tell a tale: 'Having seen a problem solved,' she writes, each one leaves 'a pattern of order in the mind.'Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.

Marianne Moore was born in Kirkwood, Missouri, in 1887. She attended Bryn Mawr College, and lived her adult life in New York City, in Manhattan and Brooklyn. She was the author of numerous books of poems, including most notably Observations (1924), Selected Poems (1935), The Pangolin and Other Verse (1936), What Are Years (1941), and Collected Poems (1951). Her lifelong practice of a radically innovative formal verse, committed to moral courage and spiritual clarity, won her most of the major poetry awards available to an American: the Bollingen Award (1952), the National Book Award (1952), the Pulitzer Prize (1952), the American Academy of Arts and Letters Gold Medal (1953), the Robert Frost Medal from the Poetry Society of America (1967), and the National Medal for Literature (1968).
