简介
《美国文化历史与文学导读》是为作者本人在南开大学开设的选修课配套设计的一本教材,主要介绍美国文化、历史与文学,以及相关名著名篇。希望这《美国文化历史与文学导读》能为读者了解美国文化、历史与文学的精髓提供参考与帮助。
《美国文化历史与文学导读》内容是根据课程要求,并将学生兴趣、接受能力等因素考虑在内,按照由易到难的顺序安排的。全书分为三大部分,共九个单元。每个单元又分为三个小部分,并配有各种形式的练习思考题和研究课题,可供读者复习或老师课上选用。
在文化部分中介绍美国三座具有代表性的城市,即纽约、洛杉矶和亚特兰大,同时收录并详解关于这三座城市的文学作品或文献。其中名城介绍部分是获得授权原版引进的,内容新颖、有特色,可以帮助读者全面了解这三个城市的风貌。选读部分作者也是力求选取最具有代表性的篇章,同时兼顾趣味性·海伦·凯勒的名篇《假如给我三天光明》是了解纽约文化特色的最佳选段之一。而且,她的经历与成就都是非同凡响的,因此作者决定将这篇文章作为全书开篇。第二单元选择著名动画大师迪斯尼作为洛杉矶的代言人。相信他的传记及名言会给读者带来启迪与鼓舞。第三单元中的《飘》第八章 也是精心选择的。这一章描绘了斯佳丽离开塔拉庄园初到亚特兰大的情景,并追溯了亚特兰大的起源。这座当时的新兴城市与斯佳丽有着相同的性格特色。
在历史部分中,首先介绍《独立宣言》,其主要起草人托马斯。杰佛逊及独立战争的背景。然后介绍美国特有的节日——感恩节及其来历,并收录华盛顿及林肯的感恩节演说。最后介绍美国历史上举足轻重的另一场战事——南北战争,以及以此为背景的著名小说《汤姆叔叔的小屋》。《解放黑人奴隶宣言》和《葛底斯堡演说》等著名历史文献也被收录到这一部分中,以便为读者提供更多的经典阅读资料。
文学部分主要介绍三位诺贝尔文学奖获得者:福克纳、海明威和斯坦贝克。三位均为现代派作家,他们的作品都带有强烈的个人风格,在美国文学史上占有举足轻重的地位,并能代表美国文学的最高成就。
