Murphy
Edited by J. C. C. Mays Murphy, Samuel Beckett's first novel, was published in 1938. Its work-shy eponymous hero, adrift in London, realises that desire can never be satisfied and withdraws from life, in search of stupor. Murphy's lovestruck fiance Celia tries with tragic pathos to draw him back, but her attempts are doomed to failure. Murphy's friends and familiars are simulacra of Murphy, fragmented and incomplete. But Beckett's achievement lies in the brilliantly original language used to communicate this vision of isolation and misunderstanding. The combination of particularity and absurdity gives Murphy's world its painful definition, but the sheer comic energy of Beckett's prose releases characters and readers alike into exuberance.犹太人一生信奉的传世智慧
在精明的犹太人眼中,任何有价的东西都能失而复得,只有智慧才堪称人生无价的财富。犹太家庭的孩子们,在成长的过程中,几乎都要回答这样一个问题:假如有一天你的房子被烧,你的财产被人抢光,你将带着什么东西逃命?小孩如果回答是钱、钻石或是珠宝。犹太母亲就会接着问:“有一种没有形状、没有颜色、没有气味,任何人都抢不走的宝贝,你知道是什么吗?”要是孩子回答不出来,大人就会告诉他:“孩子,你要带走的不是金钱,也不是钻石,而是智慧,智慧是任何人都抢不走的。它比金子、宝石更值钱,只要你活着,智慧就永远跟着你。”
