书籍简介

《螺丝在拧紧》是亨利·詹姆斯重要的中篇小说之一，也是凝聚了其高超的中篇小说艺术魅力的一部作品。圣诞前夜，几个朋友围坐炉旁，百无聊赖地讲起了自己听到的鬼故事。其中一个人说到郊外一个家庭女教师受到鬼怪困扰的故事。一切看来稀松平常，但一切在亨利·詹姆斯笔下却变得生动精致起来：只有家庭女教师能够见到“它们”；只有她怀疑先前的女教师因为某种邪恶的动机正在控制着庄园当中的两个孩子。所有的人都认为她疯了，两个孩子却对此讳莫如深。为什么小女孩始终不承认清清楚楚立在湖岸边的人影？是小女孩儿被迷惑了，还是女教师在妄想？作者并不急于马上揭示答案，但是脊背在发凉，螺丝在拧紧……

‘The place, with its grey sky and withered garlands, its bared spaces and scattered dead leaves, was like a theatre after the performance-all strewn with crumpled playbills.’

Revered as one of the greatest ghost stories ever told, James’s The Turn of the Screw is an eerie Victorian masterpiece.

When an inexperienced governess goes to work at Bly, a country house in Essex to look after a young boy Miles and his sister Flora, all manner of strange events begin to occur. The governess spots a ghostly man and woman around the grounds and is told by the housekeeper that the valet and previous governess haunt the house. It soon becomes clear that the children are inexplicably connected to these ghosts in some way and the young governess struggles to protect the children, although from exactly what, she is not sure.

Exploring the psychological and sexual fears of an era, this ambiguous, suspenseful and anxiety-inspiring novella remains one of Henry James’s most well-known tales.
