书籍简介

在他的新小说中，莫言--可以说是中国当代重要的文学家--再现了他广受赞誉的小说《红高粱》的历史风貌和朴实的豪情。在一个父权主义和儿子至上的国家，在多次革命和意识形态地震中幸存下来，这部史诗般的小说首先是关于女性的，女性的身体是该书的核心隐喻。主人公母亲生于1900年，17岁时嫁到上官家。她有九个孩子，其中只有一个是男孩，即本书的叙述者。他是一个被宠坏的、无能为力的孩子，与他的八个强壮有力的女兄弟姐妹形成了鲜明的对比。母亲是个幸存者，是典型的女强人，她冒着生命危险拯救了她的几个孩子和孙子。该书的文字如诗如画，粗俗，令人震惊，而且富有想象力。其结构借鉴了中国古典形式主义的精华，并为其注入了异常原始和令人惊讶的散文。七章中的每一章都代表了一个不同的时期，从清朝末年一直到1930年代的日本入侵。这部令人惊叹的小说现在装订成精美的收藏版，是莫言对二十世纪中国的灼见。

In his latest novel, Mo Yan--arguably China's most important contemporary literary voice--recreates the historical sweep and earthy exuberance of his much acclaimed novel Red Sorghum. In a country where patriarchal favoritism and the primacy of sons survived multiple revolutions and an ideological earthquake, this epic novel is first and foremost about women, with the female body serving as the book's central metaphor. The protagonist, Mother, is born in 1900 and married at seventeen into the Shangguan family. She has nine children, only one of whom is a boy--the narrator of the book. A spoiled and ineffectual child, he stands in stark contrast to his eight strong and forceful female siblings. Mother, a survivor, is the quintessential strong woman who risks her life to save several of her children and grandchildren. The writing is picturesque, bawdy, shocking, and imaginative. The structure draws on the essentials of classical Chinese formalism and injects them with extraordinarily raw and surprising prose. Each of the seven chapters represents a different time period, from the end of the Qing dynasty up through the Japanese invasion in the 1930s. Now in a beautifully bound collectors edition, this stunning novel is Mo Yan's searing vision of twentieth-century China.
