内容提要

本书叙述了从洋务运动到甲午战争的历史。作者认为,晚清呈现出倔强的气质。整个社会在西方文明袭来的时候,表现出保守、顽固的态度,这是晚清“倔强”的主要表现形式。咸丰帝不允许外国公使驻京,为此不惜和英法两国开战;倭仁、李鸿藻、叶名琛等士大夫,他们排斥西洋器物,反对社会变革,顽固得几乎不可理喻;广大民众对西方事务始终持排斥的态度,“反入城”事件、“教案”、义和团运动不断发。

晚清“倔强”的另外一种形式,表现为士人们把儒家学说视为信仰,对中华传统文化守望、坚持,有一种不服输的精神。在晚清的士大夫中间,“苟利国家,生死以之”的担当意识是普遍存在的,这是儒家文化长期熏陶的结果。不但在林则徐、曾国藩、左宗棠、郭嵩焘等人的身上,甚至在李鸿藻、吴可读、翁同龢等所谓的“顽固派”的身上,这种担当意识同样鲜明地存在着。

内容简介

Staring unflinchingly into the abyss of slavery, this spellbinding novel transforms history into a story as powerful as Exodus and as intimate as a lullaby. Sethe, its protagonist, was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. She has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. And Sethe’s new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved. Filled with bitter poetry and suspense as taut as a rope, Beloved is a towering achievement.

作者简介

Toni Morrison has been called "black America's best novelist," and her incredible string of imaginative contemporary classics would suggest that she is actually one of America's best novelists regardless of race. Be that as it may, it is indeed difficult to disconnect Morrison's work from racial issues, as they lie at the heart of her most enduring novels.

Growing up in Lorain, Ohio, a milieu Jet magazine described as "mixed and sometimes hostile," Morrison experienced racism firsthand. (When she was still a toddler, her home was set on fire with her family inside. ) Yet, her father instilled in her a great sense of dignity, a cultural pride that would permeate her writing. She distinguished herself in school, graduating from Howard and Cornell Universities with bachelor's and master's degrees in English; in addition to her career as a writer, she has taught at several colleges and universities, lectured widely, and worked in publishing.

Morrison made her literary debut in 1970 with The Bluest Eye, the story of a lonely 11-year-old black girl who prays that God will turn her eyes blue, in the naïve belief that this transformation will change her miserable life. As the tale unfolds, her life does change, but in ways almost too tragic and devastating to contemplate. On its publication, the book received mixed reviews; but John Leonard of The New York Times recognized the brilliance of Morrison's writing, describing her prose as "...so precise, so faithful to speech and so charged with pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry."

Over time, Morrison's talent became self-evident, and her reputation grew with each successive book. Her second novel, Sula, was nominated for a National Book Award; her third, 1977's Song of Solomon, established her as a true literary force. Shot through with the mythology and African-American folklore that informed Morrison's childhood in Ohio, this contemporary folktale is notable for its blending of supernatural and realistic elements. It was reviewed rapturously and went on win a National Book Critics Circle Award.
