书籍简介

这本经典文学指南经过彻底修订和扩充，适合新一代读者，是享受文学的指南，生动、有启发性和娱乐性地介绍了丰富文学作品的各种写作和文学手法，包括象征、主题和背景，教你如何让你的日常阅读体验更加丰富和有益。

虽然人们可以享受书籍的基本故事，但表面之下往往有更深层的文学含义。《如何像教授一样阅读文学》帮助我们用大学教授熟练的分析眼光和文学准则来看待文学，从而发现那些隐藏的真相。

当主人公走在尘土飞扬的路上时，这意味着什么？当他递给同伴一杯饮料时？当他被一场突如其来的阵雨淋湿时？托马斯·C·福斯特在探索小说的各个方面时，从主要主题到文学模式、叙事手法和形式，为这些问题提供了答案。他从文学角度进行了广泛的概述——在这样一个世界里，一条路通向一次探索，一顿饭可能意味着一次交流，而雨，无论是净化还是毁灭，都不仅仅是一场阵雨——他向我们展示了如何让我们的阅读体验在智力上更令人满意和有趣。

世界和课程都变了。第三版经过彻底修订以反映这些变化，并包含新的章节、新的序言和结语，以及福斯特在过去十年中开发的新教学要点。福斯特更新了他所讨论的书籍，以包括更多样、包容和现代的作品，例如安吉·托马斯的《你给的仇恨》、艾米丽·圣约翰·曼德尔的《第十一站》、尼尔·盖曼的《无有乡》、伊丽莎白·阿塞维多的《诗人 X》、海伦·奥耶米的《狐狸先生和男孩、雪、鸟》、桑德拉·西斯内罗斯的《芒果街上的小屋》、佐拉·尼尔·赫斯顿的《他们眼望上苍》；玛吉·奥法雷尔的《哈姆内特》；玛德琳·米勒的《喀耳刻》；帕特·巴克的《女孩的沉默》；以及塔赫雷·马菲的《一片广阔的海》。

Thoroughly revised and expanded for a new generation of readers, this classic guide to enjoying literature to its fullest—a lively, enlightening, and entertaining introduction to a diverse range of writing and literary devices that enrich these works, including symbols, themes, and contexts—teaches you how to make your everyday reading experience richer and more rewarding.

While books can be enjoyed for their basic stories, there are often deeper literary meanings beneath the surface. How to Read Literature Like a Professor helps us to discover those hidden truths by looking at literature with the practiced analytical eye—and the literary codes—of a college professor.

What does it mean when a protagonist is traveling along a dusty road? When he hands a drink to his companion? When he’s drenched in a sudden rain shower? Thomas C. Foster provides answers to these questions as he explores every aspect of fiction, from major themes to literary models, narrative devices, and form. Offering a broad overview of literature—a world where a road leads to a quest, a shared meal may signify a communion, and rain, whether cleansing or destructive, is never just a shower—he shows us how to make our reading experience more intellectually satisfying and fun.

The world, and curricula, have changed. This third edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect those changes, and features new chapters, a new preface and epilogue, as well as fresh teaching points Foster has developed over the past decade. Foster updates the books he discusses to include more diverse, inclusive, and modern works, such as Angie Thomas’s The Hate U Give; Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven; Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere; Elizabeth Acevedo’s The Poet X; Helen Oyeyemi's Mr. Fox and Boy, Snow, Bird; Sandra Cisneros’s The House on Mango Street; Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching; Maggie O’Farrell’s Hamnet; Madeline Miller’s Circe; Pat Barker’s The Silence of the Girls; and Tahereh Mafi’s A Very Large Expanse of Sea.
