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)

The young man and woman ordered a basin each of the mixture, steaming hot, and sat down to consume it at leisure. This was very well so far, for furmity, as the woman had said, was nourishing, and as proper a food as could be obtained within the four seas; though, to those not accustomed to it, the grains of wheat swollen as large as lemon-pips, which floated on its surface, mi...(展开全部)
