精彩书摘
THERE was no hope for him this time: it was the third stroke. Night after night I had passed the house (it was vacation time) and studied the lighted square of window: and night after night I had found it lighted in the same way, faintly and evenly. If he was dead, I thought, I would see the reflection of candles on the darkened blind for I knew that two candles must be set at the head of a corpse. He had often said to me: "I am not long for this world," and I had thought his words idle. Now I knew they were true. Every night as I gazed up at the window I said softly to myself the word paralysis. It had always sounded strangely in my ears, like the word gnomon in the Euclid and the word simony in the Catechism. But now it sounded to me like the name of some maleficent and sinful being. It filled me with fear, and yet I longed to be nearer to it and to look upon its deadly work.
Old Cotter was sitting at the fire, smoking, when I came downstairs to supper. While my aunt was ladling out my stirabout he said, as if returning to some former remark of his:
"No, I wouldn't say he was exactly ... but there was something queer ... there was something uncanny about him. I'll tell you my opinion ..."
He began to puff at his pipe, no doubt arranging his opinion in his mind. Tiresome old fool! When we knew him first he used to be rather interesting, talking of faints and worms; but I soon grew tired of him and his endless stories about the distillery.
"I have my own theory about it," he said. "I think it was one of those ... peculiar cases ... But it's hard to say ..."
He began to puff again at his pipe without giving us his theory. My uncle saw me staring and said to me:
"Well, so your old friend is gone, you'll be sorry to hear."
"Who?" said I.
"Father Flynn."
"Is he dead?"
"Mr. Cotter here has just told us. He was passing by the house."
I knew that I was under observation so I continued eating as if the news had not interested me. My uncle explained to old Cotter.
"The youngster and he were great friends. The old chap taught him a great deal, mind you; and they say he had a great wish for him."
"God have mercy on his soul," said my aunt piously.
Old Cotter looked at me for a while. I felt that his little beady black eyes were examining me but I would not satisfy him by looking up from my plate. He returned to his pipe and finally spat rudely into the grate.
"I wouldn't like children of mine," he said, "to have too much to say to a man like that."
"How do you mean, Mr. Cotter?" asked my aunt.
"What I mean is," said old Cotter, "it's bad for children. My idea is: let a young lad run about and play with young lads of his own age and not be ... Am I right, Jack?"
"That's my principle, too," said my uncle. "Let him learn to box his corner. That's what I'm always saying to that Rosicrucian there: take exercise. Why, when I was a nipper every morning of my life I had a cold bath, winter and summer. And that's what stands to me now. Education is all very fine and large ... Mr. Cotter might take a pick of that leg mutton," he added to my aunt.
"No, no, not for me," said old Cotter.
My aunt brought the dish from the safe and put it on the table.
"But why do you think it's not good for children, Mr. Cotter?" she asked.
"It's bad for children," said old Cotter, "because their minds are so impressionable. When children see things like that, you know, it has an effect ..."
I crammed my mouth with stirabout for fear I might give utterance to my anger. Tiresome old red-nosed imbecile!
It was late when I fell asleep. Though I was angry with old Cotter for alluding to me as a child, I puzzled my head to extract meaning from his unfinished sentences. In the dark of my room I imagined that I saw again the heavy grey face of the paralytic. I drew the blankets over my head and tried to think of Christmas. But the grey face still followed me. It murmured; and I understood that it desired to confess something. I felt my soul receding into some pleasant and vicious region; and there again I found it waiting for me. It began to co

前言/序言
好的,这是一份关于其他书籍的详细简介,内容独立于您提到的那本书: --- 沉思于历史的回响:一部关于中世纪欧洲社会变迁的深度研究 书名:迷雾中的十字路口:信仰、权力与日常生活的重塑(1000-1300年) 作者:艾德蒙·哈特利 内容简介 《迷雾中的十字路口:信仰、权力与日常生活的重塑(1000-1300年)》并非一部传统的编年史著作,它是一次深入中世纪欧洲社会肌理的考古式探究。作者艾德蒙·哈特利将目光聚焦于“中世纪盛期”这一充满活力与矛盾的转型期,即公元1000年至1300年间。这段时期,欧洲完成了从早期黑暗时代的碎片化状态中脱离,开始构建起我们今天所熟知的西方文明的诸多基础结构——从大学的兴起、哥特式建筑的壮丽,到民族王权的初步确立,以及教会权力的巅峰。 本书的核心论点在于,这一时期的巨变并非孤立的事件累积,而是一场由地缘变动、精神觉醒与物质生产力提升共同驱动的复杂重塑。哈特利巧妙地将宏大的叙事与微观的个体经验相结合,构建了一个立体、多维度的中世纪图景。 第一部分:土地的苏醒与人口的扩张 本书开篇即聚焦于农业革命带来的深远影响。作者细致描绘了重犁、三圃制以及马具革新如何彻底改变了欧洲的粮食产量和人口结构。这种“绿色革命”不仅是技术的进步,更是社会阶层的剧烈变动之源。随着剩余产品的增加,城市开始重新焕发生机,贸易路线得以巩固。 哈特利特别探讨了“开垦运动”(Land Reclamation)背后的精神驱动力——一种源自教会对“闲散”土地的道德批判,以及贵族阶层对荣耀和财富的渴望。他通过分析中世纪的庄园记录和教会的土地契约,揭示了领主与佃农之间日渐复杂化的经济关系,并指出这种关系如何为后来的市民阶层的崛起埋下了伏笔。 第二部分:神圣与世俗的权力角逐 本书的第二部分深入剖析了中世纪盛期最引人注目的主题之一:教权与王权(特别是神圣罗马帝国皇帝与教皇)之间的持续对抗。哈特利认为,11世纪末的“叙任权之争”不仅仅是关于谁有权任命主教的权力斗争,更是两种世界观、两种合法性基础的碰撞——一种基于神授的普世精神权威,另一种基于领土、法律与军事力量的世俗主权。 作者并未采取简单的二元对立叙事,而是展示了权力如何在地方层面不断地被协商、妥协和再分配。例如,他通过对《博洛尼亚法》的重新解读,说明世俗君主如何巧妙地利用复兴的罗马法来构建自己的行政体系,从而在精神真空地带建立起有效的官僚机构。对十字军东征的分析也超越了简单的宗教狂热,将其视为欧洲向外扩张、整合内部力量的复杂政治工具。 第三部分:精神景观的重塑——修道院、异端与大学 精神生活是中世纪欧洲的驱动力。哈特利花费大量篇幅考察了克吕尼和熙笃会等新兴修会运动。这些修会不仅仅是宗教场所,更是知识的中心、农业技术的实验田,甚至是金融活动的重要参与者。 一个引人深思的章节专门探讨了异端运动(如卡特里派)的兴起。作者主张,异端并非简单的对正统教义的背离,而是社会内部对于教会世俗化、贵族化以及财富分配不公的深刻反弹。这些异端运动的出现,恰恰证明了普通民众对纯粹精神生活的强烈需求。 而对博洛尼亚、巴黎等早期大学的描绘,则将读者带入知识生产的前沿。本书强调,大学的自治性(特许权)和拉丁语作为学术通用语的地位,是欧洲思想统一和知识传播的关键机制。从托马斯·阿奎那对亚里士多德哲学的整合,到经院哲学的严密逻辑训练,都标志着一种崭新的理性工具的诞生。 第四部分:日常生活的微观世界 本书最具创新性的部分在于其对普通人日常生活的细致还原。哈特利利用犯罪记录、遗嘱、行会章程和手抄本插图,重构了城市工匠、农民家庭以及女性在这一时期所扮演的角色。 他探讨了城市行会如何从最初的保护组织演变为严格的经济垄断者,并分析了城市生活对个人身份认同的塑造作用。在家庭层面,本书揭示了婚姻的经济属性如何与宗教教义相互交织,以及儿童在家庭和社区中的地位变化。尤其值得注意的是,作者对中世纪晚期气候变化(“小冰期”的早期迹象)如何开始影响粮食安全和民众心态的观察,为后续欧洲的社会动荡提供了气候学视角下的铺垫。 总结 《迷雾中的十字路口》是一部内容详实、论证有力的学术著作,它成功地将宏大的历史结构分析与生动的社会细节描摹融为一体。它要求读者跳出“黑暗时代”的刻板印象,去理解一个充满创造力、深刻矛盾,并最终为现代世界奠定基石的欧洲。对于任何希望深入了解中世纪盛期如何孕育出西方复杂政治、宗教和知识传统的读者而言,本书无疑是一份不可或缺的指南。 ---
