获奖译者为我们带来了 1870 年俄罗斯伟大的讽刺作家的喜剧小说的新译本——他对俄罗斯专制的嘲讽在普京时代具有新的意义。 《愚人堡：某镇的历史》是俄罗斯的一部经典之作，尽管在西方并不那么出名，但它是一部滑稽的编年史，讲述了虚构的格鲁波夫镇（翻译为“愚蠢之城”或“愚人堡”）及其不幸的居民数百年来被动忍受统治者的暴力和疯狂的故事。该镇的残酷市长接连出现，包括一些超现实的极端人物，比如一个脑袋里装着音乐盒的人，以及一个身高过高的人在暴风雨中折断成两半。萨尔蒂科夫-谢德林将乔纳森·斯威夫特的尖锐讽刺与尼古拉·果戈理的荒诞幻想结合在一起，充满了他自己独有的俏皮文字游戏。这部小说是俄罗斯文学版的《格列佛游记》，之前的英文翻译中从未成功捕捉到其滑稽的幽默；这一次将为它带来应有的关注。 The award-winning translators bring us a...(展开全部)
