《長(zhǎng)腿叔叔》
是英國(guó) ·薩默賽特·毛姆創(chuàng)作的長(zhǎng)篇小說(shuō)被譽(yù)為毛姆的代表作之一。小說(shuō)以主人公pip為視角通過(guò)他的成長(zhǎng)經(jīng)歷展現(xiàn)了20世紀(jì)英國(guó)社會(huì)的種種面貌。
小說(shuō)的主要情節(jié)發(fā)生在19世紀(jì)60年代的英國(guó)主人公pip是一個(gè)孤兒被送到了一個(gè)寄宿家庭。這個(gè)家庭由長(zhǎng)腿叔叔即pip的監(jiān)護(hù)人macchiato管理。pip在這個(gè)家庭中經(jīng)歷了許多苦難但他通過(guò)和家庭成員的互動(dòng)逐漸了解了英國(guó)社會(huì)的種種不公和不平等。
小說(shuō)中有許多精彩的好詞好句例如:
It is a fact that the world is a great big house and we are all its children or rather some of us are and some of us are not
The only way to be a man is to know that you are not a man and to feel that you are a man
I was not always happy but I knew that I was good And I knew that I wanted to be good
There is no such thing as a black and white world There are only灰色地帶s
I don't want to be rich I want to be happy
The world is not a place where you can find happiness It is a place where you can make yourself happy
You can't solve problems with money
I don't care if you are a man of means As long as you are a human being
這些句子都充滿(mǎn)了智慧和深刻的思考是小說(shuō)中的亮點(diǎn)之一。
讀完
《長(zhǎng)腿叔叔》
后我深受啟發(fā)。小說(shuō)中展現(xiàn)的社會(huì)問(wèn)題和人性探討都讓我深深地思考。雖然主人公pip在小說(shuō)中是一個(gè)虛構(gòu)的人物但他所反映的社會(huì)問(wèn)題卻是真實(shí)存在的我們每個(gè)人都可以從中受到啟發(fā)。
