Field Work
At the centre of this collection, which includes groups of elegies and love poems, there is a short sonnet sequence which concentrates themes apparent elsewhere in the book: the individual's responsibility for his own choices, the artist's commitment to his vocation, the vulnerability of all in the face of circumstance and death. 'Throughout the volume Heaney's outstanding gifts, his eye, his ear, his understanding of the poetic language are on display - this is a book we cannot do without.' Martin Dodsworth, Guardian夏威夷史诗(全集)
爱、暴力、性、罪恶,以及整个人类的历史,都在这座岛屿上波澜壮阔地上演。平均每3.77个美国人,就拥有1本米切纳的小说。他是普利策奖得主、历史小说教父,被誉为“20世纪历史的编年者”。数亿万年前,火山爆发,海水奔涌,奇异的岛屿自地壳中隆起;1200年前,57位夏威夷土著驾着一艘独木舟,跨越万里海域,来此避祸定居;1822年,“西提思”号载着11对传教士夫妇抵达夏威夷港口,在其后的100多年里,他们的子孙建立起庞大的家族并逐渐掌控了夏威夷群岛的政治经济命脉。
