后记
版权页:插图:"I came upon a boiler wallowing in the grass, then found a path leading up the hill. It turnedaside for the boulders, and also for an undersized railway-truck lying there on its back with itswheels in the air. One was off. The thing looked as dead as the carcass of some animal. I came uponmore pieces of decaying machinery, a stack of rusty rails. To the left a clump of trees made a shadyspot, where dark things seemed to stir feebly. I blinked, the path was steep. A horn tooted to theright, and I saw the black people run. A heavy and dull detonation shook the ground, a puff ofsmoke came out of the cliff, and that was all. No change appeared on the face of the rock. They werebuilding a railway. The cliff was not in the way or anything; but this objectless blasting was all thework going on."A slight clinking behind me made me turn my head. Six black men advanced in a file, toilingup the path. They walked erect and slow, balancing small baskets full of earth on their heads, andthe clink kept time with their footsteps. Black rags were wound round their loins, and the short endsbehind waggled to and fro like tails. I could see every rib, the joints of their limbs were like knots in arope; each had an iron collar on his neck, and all were connected together with a chain whose bightsswung between them, rhythmically clinking. Another report from the cliff made me think suddenlyof that ship of war I had seen firing into a continent. It was the same kind of ominous voice; butthese men could by no stretch of imagination be called enemies. They were called criminals, andthe outraged law, like the bursting shells, had come to them, an insoluble mystery from the sea. Alltheir meagre breasts panted together, the violently dilated nostrils quivered, the eyes stared stonilyuphill. They passed me within six inches, without a glance, with that complete, deathlike indifferenceof unhappy savages. Behind this raw matter one of the reclaimed, the product of the new forces atwork, strolled despondently, carrying a rifle by its middle. He had a uniform jacket with one buttonoff, and seeing a white man on the path, hoisted his weapon to his shoulder with alacrity. This wassimple prudence, white men being so much alike at a distance that he could not tell who I might be.He was speedily reassured, and with a large, white, rascally grin, and a glance at his charge, seemedto take me into partnership in his exalted trust. After all, I also was a part of the great cause of thesehigh and just proceedings."instead of going up, I turned and descended to the left. My idea was to let that chain-gang getout of sight before I climbed the hill. You know I am not particularly tender; I've had to strike andto fend off. I've had to resist and to attack sometimes——that's only one way of resisting——withoutcounting the exact cost, according to the demands of such sort of life as I had blundered into. I'veseen the devil of violence, and the devil of greed, and the devil of hot desire; but, by all the stars!these were strong, lusty, red-eyed devils, that swayed and drove men——men, I tell you. But as I stoodon this hillside, I foresaw that in the blinding sunshine of that land I would become acquaintedwitha flabby, pretending, weak-eyed devil of a rapacious and pitiless folly. How insidious he could be,too, I was only to find out several months later and a thousand miles farther. For a moment I stoodappalled, as though by a warning. Finally I descended the hill, obliquely, towards the trees I hadseen."1 avoided a vast artificial hole somebody had been digging on the slope, the purpose of which Ifound it impossible to divine. It wasn't a quarry or a sandpit, anyhow. It was just a hole.

书本内容还行,但是!书本印刷有问题,目录页内容整体向右斜,目录页和第一页脱页散落。是别人帮我签的,发票也不见了,如果不是我肯定要退货了!

偶然从一位朋友那里看到了这本书,翻开了就放不下了,后来自己去买了一本。封面低调,内容却激情四射。以作家为中心编排,对作家生平事迹按年份简要列出,突出重点,对每个作家思想体系完整客观的呈现让我耳目一新,收获颇多,才发现自己原来对英国当代文学了解太少了。最喜欢每章节最后一个Part,结合阅读材料简明扼要帮助理解作者的写作手法,文学理论,很好很喜欢。
