内容简介
艾米莉·狄金森是美国著名女诗人。她一生只活了56年,并且是一种离群索居的状态下过完一生的。她终身未嫁。朋友寥寥,只有几个还算是知心的朋友,但也只与其保持书信关系而已。她了大量的诗作,大约为1800首左右。生前发表过的诗作,都经过了编辑的加工,以适应当年人们对诗作的韵脚的审美规范。很多诗作描写的主题是死亡与不朽。她的名气越来越大,是因为其死后由其朋友整理并发表出了大量她生前的诗作使然。她的诗作对后来的美国诗坛有巨大的影响力,成为不能逾越的文化现象。

精彩书摘
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there 's a pair of us — don't tell!
They 'd banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

前言/序言
General Preface
Millions of Chinese are learning English to acquireknowledge and skills for communication in a worldwhere English has become the primary language forinternational discourse. Yet not many learners have cometo realize that the command of the English language alsoenables them to have an easy access to the world literaryclassics such as Shakespeare’s plays, Shelley’s poems,mark Twain’s novels and Nietzsche’s works which are animportant part of liberal-arts education. The most importantgoals of universities are not vocational, that is, not merelythe giving of knowledge and the training of skills.In a broad sense, education aims at broadening youngpeople’s mental horizon, cultivating virtues and shapingtheir character. Lincoln, Mao Zedong and many othergreat leaders and personages of distinction declared howthey drew immense inspiration and strength from literaryworks. As a matter of fact, many of them had aspired tobecome writers in their young age. Alexander the Great(356-323 B.C.) is said to take along with him two things,waking or sleeping: a book and a dagger, and the bookis Iliad, a literary classic, by Homer. He would put thesetwo much treasured things under his pillow when hewent to bed.
Today, we face an unprecedented complex andchanging world. To cope with this rapid changing worldrequires not only communication skills, but also adequateknowledge of cultures other than our own home culture.Among the most important developments in present-dayglobal culture is the ever increasing cultural exchangesand understanding between different nations and peoples.And one of the best ways to know foreign cultures isto read their literary works, particularly their literaryclassics, the soul of a country’s culture. They also giveyou the best language and the feeling of sublimity.Liaoning People’s Publishing House is to becongratulated for its foresight and courage in makinga new series of world literary classics available to thereading public. It is hoped that people with an adequatecommand of the English language will read them, likethem and keep them as their lifetime companions.I am convinced that the series will make an important contribution to the literary education of the young people in china. At a time when the whole country is emphasizing “spiritual civilization”, it is certainly a very timely venture to put out the series of literary classics for literary and cultural education.
