内容简介 《玛洛西的大石像》是亨利·米勒的一本希腊游记。书中记述了第二次世界大战前他在希腊的各种经历,描写了希腊的自然景观、风土人情,字里行间体现着他对一个伟大民族深厚的敬仰之情。 《玛洛西的大石像》不像其他人写的希腊的游记,亨利·米勒是天生的作家,他能看到别人看不到的世界。这本书带我们同去希腊一游,沐浴那里的阳光,接受一种古代文明的洗礼,领会其永恒的魅力。 ---- 董桥:我放假回香港路上想繞到希臘看看,威爾遜給了我米勒那本《 The Colossus of Maroussi》,說遊記寫成這樣算是頂級了,難怪 Edmund Wilson稱讚米勒寫希臘人希臘景希臘事誰都沒有他寫得動人。是二次世界大戰開戰之初寫的書,他揮別住了十年的巴黎先到希臘遊歷了八個月才回美國。聽英倫前輩老蕭說,書一出版英國報上的書評說米勒散文講究一個「碎」字:拋開意識中知識人的矜持已然是莫大的挑戰,揭示知識人學問之博而淺更是最難的謙卑,米勒都做到了,下筆從此「碎」得沉實。 ---- Goodreads reviews: This is a small book with a big heart, an eloquent and enlightening memoir of Greece, where Henry Miller stayed briefly prior to leaving Europe for America at the begining of World War II. It is perhaps his best literary effort. For those who know Miller only through Tropic of Cancer or any of his other controversial books, pick this up today. If your local vendor doesn't have it, order it. Your eyes will be opened not only to the sun-drenched beauty of a country, but to the kind and loving genius of a man. You will see how truly visionary, human, and humane Miller was as he recounts his experiences and the people he befriended. His reflections are poetry here, his recollections sheer magic. You will be left with the knowledge of having experienced someone undergoing a spiritual transformation, and of being freed yourself. That is the book's gift to any reader. A country was never given a greater love letter. It is olives, bread and wine for the soul.
