简介："Killed resurrects articles that publications like Harper's, Vanity Fair, and The New Yorker assigned to renowned writers, then discarded - not for reasons of quality but because of their potential for unwanted controversy. Skittish editors feared that publishing these provocative pieces about politics, sex, corruption, and culture might upset their pals, enrage readers, or offend advertisers." "Killed also anthologizes under-published stories that were initially rejected by editors, including a censored book review by George Orwell (with a new introduction by Christopher Hitchens) that London's Observer deemed unpatriotic during wartime."--BOOK JACKET.

Finding George Orwell in Burma

作者：  艾玛·拉金(Emma Larkin)著;黄煜文译

出版社：卫城出版,2012

简介： 「緬甸就像一個得了癌症的女人。她知道自己病了，但她還是照常過她的生活，彷彿一切沒事一樣。她拒絕看病。她與人交談，人們也跟她說話。他們知道她得了癌症，她也知道自己得了癌症，但沒有人說破。」 北韓之外，另一個備受關注的極權國度：緬甸 半世紀的軍事統治，讓曾是世界糧倉的緬甸陷入民不聊生的慘境，也成為一個全民受到嚴密監控、真實與虛假難以區分的詭異之地。緬甸政府不但關押數量龐大的政治犯，2008年的納吉斯風災也因為獨裁者的無能與阻撓，造成14萬人死亡。2010年底，長期遭到軟禁的民主運動領袖翁山蘇姬終於獲釋，2012年初再次投入選舉，全世界都在關注這個飽受蹂躪的佛塔之國，是否能順利開始轉變？ 名列二十世紀偉大政治小說家的歐威爾，年輕時曾在緬甸駐紮五年，擔任帝國警察，然而甚少有人提及這段經驗對他小說創作的影響。他的《緬甸歲月》、《動物農莊》和《一九八四》宛如現代緬甸悲劇歷史的寓言三部曲，緬甸知識分子也因此稱他為「先知」。 本書作者拉金是通曉緬甸文的美國記者，從九○年代起多次祕密到緬甸查訪，她透過走訪歐威爾在緬甸的駐紮路線，對緬甸社會進行第一手觀察，甚至與當地知識分子組織讀書會。拉金以優美的遊記散文，娓娓道出緬甸從英國殖民地、獨立到被軍政府極權統治的悲劇；不但巧妙銜接歐威爾的生平著作與緬甸的政治社會境況，更生動呈現了當地人在高壓統治下的一言一行。 活動講座： 緬甸：禁錮下的真相系列免費講座 主講人：楊宗澧／國際特赦組織臺灣分會秘書長 ＊場次播映《我所住的監獄》(This Prison Where I Live) 紀錄片 2012/3/31 19:30(六) @小小書房＊ 永和市復興街36號（捷運頂溪站1號右轉，第一個洞右轉直走1分鐘） 與談人：張鐵志／作家 2012/4/9 20:00(一) @誠品台大店3F藝文閣樓 臺北市新生南路三段98號3樓 2012/4/14 19:00(六) @有河book＊ 新北市淡水區中正路5巷26號2樓（出淡水捷運站沿河走3分鐘，注意2樓） 2012/4/15 15:00(日) @誠品園道店 臺中市公益路68號3樓 2012/4/20 19:30(五) @永樂座＊ 臺北市泰順街60巷9號B1 與談人：孫友聯／台灣自由緬甸網絡發言人 2012/4/20 19:00(六) @豆皮咖啡館＊ 高雄市五福四路131號2樓 2012/4/22 14:30(日) @東海書苑＊ 台中市西區五權西二街104號 2012/4/29 14:30(日) @人權學堂＊ 高雄捷運O5/R10美麗島穹頂大廳方向往出口9 < TOP>

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 The dazzling, romantic fiction of F. Scott Fitzgerald manages to captivate each new generation of readers. This critical introduction, written specifically for students, offers insightful yet accessible literary criticism for five novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, Tender Is the Night, and The Last Tycoon. A full chapter is devoted to examining each of these works, with an indepth discussion of character development, thematic concerns and plot structure. The introduction to each novel traces its genesis and the critical reception it received at the time it was written. The historical context sections examine the ways visionary works like The Great Gatsby offer both a chronicle and a critique of the attitudes, dreams, and illusions of American society during the period between the First and Second World Wars. Students will also get a vivid sense of how life and art converged in the fiction of F. Scott Fitzgerald, the man who christened the Jazz Age.   Publisher Summary 2 Greenwood's series, Companions to Classic Writers, is geared toward high school and college students, and has already featured Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Arthur Miller, George Orwell, and Richard Wright. Like other companions, this one on Fitzgerald by Pelzer (English, Wesley College) begins with a biography and overview of the author's literary career. Next are analyses of This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and The Damned, The Great Gatsby, Tender is the Night, and The Last Tycoon . Each analysis is divided into sections on the work's genesis and critical reception, point of view, plot and character development, symbolism or figurative language, and one reading in a particular style (e.g., mythological, feminist, Marxist). An ample bibliography of primary and secondary sources concludes the volume. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)   Publisher Summary 3 Examines the fiction of F. Scott Fitzgerald as critique and chronicle of American society during the Jazz Age.  

Utopia 乌拖邦

作者：  Thomas

出版社：Wordsworth Editions Ltd 1998年10月

简介：
　　With an Introduction by Mishtooni Bose More's Utopia is a complex, innovative and penetrating contribution to political thought, cuhninating in the famous 'de*ion' of the Utopians, who live according to the principles of natural law, but are receptive to Christian teachings, who hold all possessions in common,and view golcl as worthless. Drawing on the ideas of Plato,St Augustine and Aristotle, Utopia was to prove seminal in its turn, giving rise to the genres of utopian and dystopian prose fiction whose practitioners include Sir Francis Bacon,H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley and George Orwell. At once a critique of the social consequences of greed and a meditation on the personal cost of entering public service,Utopia dramatises the difficulty of balancing the competing claims of idealism and pragmatism, and continues to invite its readers to become participants in a compelling debate concerning the best state of a commonwealth.

简介：On Stories is a companion volume to Lewis's collected shorter fiction, The Dark Tower and Other Stories and presents the literary face of C. S. Lewis's many aspects. The theme of this collection is the excellence of Story, especially the kind of story dear to C. S. Lewis -- fantasy and science fiction, which he fostered in an age dominated by realistic fiction. Gathered here are nine essays, including "On Stories" and "On Three Ways of Writing for Children," and eleven pieces not previously collected, among them reviews of works by J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Williams, Rider Haggard, and George Orwell; a panegyric to Dorothy Sayers; and an essay, "The Death of Words," which shows how common usage can distort and deprive language.

简介：The distance between Kant and Foucault marks out the philosophical and chronological space within which the textual studies of this book address the complex question of subjectivity in literature. Originally arising from an academic conference held at Liverpool University, these essays represent the work of a new generation of researchers in the vanguard of contemporary literary studies. Combining radical new approaches to established authors in the 'literary canon' as well as pioneering work on important contemporary writers, the subjects treated in this book include Wordsworth, the Bronte's, Wallace Stevens, George Orwell, Philip Larkin, Ray Bradbury, John Folwes, Clarice Lispector, Ian McEwan, Georges Perec and others. A post-script is provided by Professor Vincent Newey.

简介：Individuals find themselves in a world of voyeuristic television programs, attention-getting stunts, trivialized information, and glorified crisis events. The author contends that there is an inherent but unfortunate bias within media against offering complex interpretations that provide history and meaning to the reporting of news events, and he concludes that we are moving closer to the narcotic-like trance depicted by Aldous Huxley in Brave New World than grim prison-like atmosphere created by George Orwell in Nineteen Eighty-four [forward].

Down and out in Paris and London

作者：  (英)乔治·奥威尔(George Orwell)著;胡仁鹏译

出版社：江苏人民出版社,2006

简介：《巴黎伦敦落魄记》内容为：在这部受到相当重视、以其对贫困的真实而不动感情的描述而闻名的作品中，奥威尔叙述了一位不名一文的英国作家的冒险：他发现自己迅速陷入了两个欧洲大首都的肮脏的心脏。在巴黎是一个洗盘子的，他以生动的细节描述了法国豪华餐馆的不堪内幕。在伦敦，他遭遇了街头人们与慈善庇护所的烦扰世界。在他找工作、食物和寄居所的时候，他以一种经常是幽默和清晰的方式所讲述的他欺骗房东和跟当铺谈判的冒险，教给了我们关于贫困与社会的某种冷静的奥威尔式的真相。 在这部描写贫困生活的著名作品中，奥威尔向人们展示了贫穷的真正含义。主人公的霉运从所住的旅馆被一个意大利人偷窃开始，当时口袋里只剩下47法郎，这显然已经非常不妙了，“即便不是赤贫，也处于赤贫的边缘了”。聪明的读者或许能够猜测出，这必定是一个讲述生活水准每况愈下的故事，可却不曾料想，一开篇就会这般凄惨，不免要心生疑惑：后面尚有厚厚的几百页，居然真的能再穷下去吗？究竟还要怎样地存活？不错，奥威尔便把这种生活硬生生地摆在我们面前：拼死拼活地打工、当衣服、乞讨、接受救济……实在没得吃，就索性躺着不动弹，于是生活已不成其为生活，仅仅是保全性命而已。能将这种遭遇写得如此触目惊心又不失真实，非亲身经历所不能，所以说，奥威尔不单是观察者，更是体验者。这等生活，仅是依照原样叙讲已能令人多有慨叹，再经由奥威尔客观、深沉的笔触，自是格外地感动人心。

简介：A generous and varied selection-the only hardcover edition available-of the literary and political writings of one of the greatest essayists of the twentieth century. Though best known as the author of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell left an even more lastingly significant achievement in his voluminous essays, which dealt with all the great social, political, and literary questions of the day and exemplified an incisive prose style that is still universally admired. Included among the more than 240 essays in this volume are Orwell's famous discussion of pacifism, "My Country Right or Left," his scathingly complicated views on the dirty work of imperialism in "Shooting an Elephant," and his very firm opinion on how to make "A Nice Cup of Tea." In his essays, Orwell elevated political writing to the level of art, and his motivating ideas-his desire for social justice, his belief in universal freedom and equality, and his concern for truth in language-are as enduringly relevant now, a hundred years after his birth, as ever.

简介：Isaac Asimov (1920-1992), one of the most popular and influential American authors of the twentieth century, sparked the imagination of generations of writers. His Foundation trilogy paved the way for science fiction that was more speculative and philosophical than had been previously seen in the genre, and his book I, Robot and his story "The Bicentennial Man" have been made into popular movies. First published as a teenager in John W. Campbell's groundbreaking science-fiction magazine Astounding , Asimov published over two hundred books during his lifetime. While most prolific writers tend to concentrate almost exclusively on a single genre, Asimov was a polymath who wrote widely on a variety of subjects. He authored mysteries, autobiographies, histories, satires, companions to Shakespeare, children's books on science, and collections of bawdy limericks. A lifelong atheist, he nevertheless wrote more than a half dozen books on the Bible. Asimov's varied interests establish him as a premier public intellectual, one who was frequently called upon to clarify debates in science, in history, and on the effects of technology on the modern age. Conversations with Isaac Asimov collects interviews with a man considered to be-along with Robert Heinlein, A. E. van Vogt, and Arthur C. Clarke-a founder of modern science fiction. Despite this, Asimov is perhaps best known for his many books of popular science writing. Carl Sagan once described Asimov as the greatest explainer of his age, and this talent made Asimov a natural for the interview form. His manner is always crisp and lucid, his tone always engaging, and his comments always enlightening. Carl Freedman, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is professor of English at Louisiana State University. He is the author of Critical Theory and Science Fiction , The Incomplete Projects: Marxism, Modernity, and the Politics of Culture , and George Orwell: A Study in Ideology and Literary Form .

简介：This Long-Awaited Collection of literary and cultural essays by Edward W. Said, the first since Harvard University Press published The World, the Text, and the Critic in 1983, reconfirms what no one can doubt -- that Said is the most impressive, consequential, and elegant critic of our time -- and offers further evidence of how much the fully engaged critical mind can contribute to the reservoir of value, thought, and action essential to our lives. As in the title essay, the widely admired "Reflections on Exile," the fact of his own exile and the fate of the Palestinians have given both form and the force of intimacy to the questions Said has pursued. Taken together, these essays -- from the famous to those that will surprise even Said's most assiduous followers -- afford rare insight into the formation of a critic and the development of an intellectual vocation. Said's topics are many and diverse, from the movie heroics of Tarzan to the machismo of Ernest Hemingway to the shades of difference that divide Alexandria and Cairo. He offers major reconsiderations of writers and artists such as George Orwell, Giambattista Vico, Georg Lukacs, R. P. Blackmur, E. M. Cioran, Naguib Mahfouz, Herman Melville, Joseph Conrad, Walter Lippmann, Samuel Huntington, Antonio Gramsci, and Raymond Williams. Said makes a strong and eloquent attack on what he calls "aestheticized powerlessness," a habitual stance of many in the academy. Most of the key debates in the humanities over the last thirty years are taken up in this book, and a number of them are given definitive treatment here.
