• 导读
  • 当去除了带有装饰感的外表和修辞,真相赤裸的摊开在眼前,也许是丑陋的和不堪的,却带有沉重的生命的存在感,这种存在感并不因为弱小和容易被忽视而消失,反而因为去除了表象和具有某种独立的尊严感而变的愈发强大。真实性本身便具有绝对的残酷感,就像黑侏儒这个词所传达出来的信息,迫使人直视生命的真相。她们在各自的情绪中找到了相关的映射,这些情绪复杂、深邃、幽暗不清,并且被发散出各自不同的语境与指涉。 此书的主要人物是基于作者在1797年秋遇到的大卫·里奇。故事中的侏儒叫做爱德华·毛利,当地人认为他是和魔鬼结盟的隐士。毛利卷入了一场复杂的爱情,复仇和背叛以及一场收到威胁的婚姻的故事。评论家认为这本书里缺少了常有的搭配 “旧道德”,司各特本人在《季刊评论》中匿名写了一篇更加严厉的评论指出自己的看法:他自己和自己的故事在做斗争,最终得出了一个结论。

    The main character is based on David Ritchie, whom Scott met in the autumn of 1797. In the tale, the dwarf is Sir Edward Mauley, a hermit regarded by the locals as being in league with the Devil, who becomes embroiled in a complex tale of love, revenge, betrayal, Jacobite schemes and a threatened forced marriage.

    Scott began the novel well, "but tired of the ground I had trode so often before... I quarrelled with my story, bungled up a conclusion."

    Critics and public found it poor in comparison with its popular companion Old Mortality. One of the harshest reviews was in the Quarterly Review, written anonymously by Scott himself.

  • 作者简介
  • 沃尔特·司各特爵士,英国著名的历史小说家和诗人。他生于苏格兰的爱丁堡市,自幼患有小儿麻痹症,爱丁堡大学法律系毕业后,当过副郡长,他以苏格兰为背景的诗歌十分有名,但拜伦出现后,他意识到无法超越,转行开始写作历史小说,终于成为英语历史文学的一代鼻祖。

    Scott was the first modern English-language author to have a truly international career in his lifetime, with many contemporary readers in Europe, Australia, and North America. His novels and poetry are still read, and many of his works remain classics of both English-language literature and of Scottish literature. Famous titles include Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, Old Mortality, The Lady of the Lake, Waverley, The Heart of Midlothian and The Bride of Lammermoor.
