内容简介
"When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin." With this startling, bizarre, yet surprisingly funny first sentence, Kafka begins his masterpiece, The Metamorphosis. It is the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a giant beetlelike insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. A harrowing -- though absurdly comic -- meditation on human feelings of inadequecy, guilt, and isolation, The Metamorphosis has taken its place as one of the mosst widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction. As W.H. Auden wrote, "Kafka is important to us because his predicament is the predicament of modern man".
《变形记》创作于1912年,发表于1915年。小说分成三部分,用一、二、三标明。课文节选了原小说的一半内容。第一部分,写格里高尔发现自己变成“巨大的甲虫”,惊慌而又忧郁。父亲发现后大怒,把他赶回自己的卧室。第二部分,格里高尔变了,养成了甲虫的生活习性,却保留了人的意识。他失业了,仍旧关心怎样还清父亲欠的债务,送妹妹上音乐学院。可是,一个月后,他成了全家的累赘。父亲、母亲、妹妹对他改变了态度。第三部分,为了生存,家人只得打工挣钱,忍受不了格里高尔这个负担。妹妹终于提出把哥哥弄走。格里高尔又饿又病,陷入绝望,“他怀着深情和爱意想他的一家人”,“然后他的头就不由自主地垂倒在地板上,鼻孔呼出了最后一丝气息”,死了。父亲、母亲和妹妹开始过着自己养活自己的新生活。
作者简介
Franz Kafka was born in 1833 to a well-to-do middle-class Jewish family. His father, the self-made proprietor of a wholesale haberdashery business, was a domineering man whose approbation Franz continually struggled to win. The younger Kafka's feelings of inadequacy and guilt form the background of much of his work and are made explicit in his "Letter to His Father" (excerpted in this volume), which was written in 1919 but never sent. Kafka was educated in the German language schools of Prague and at the city's German University, where in 1908 he took a law degree. Literature, however, remained his sole passion. At this time he became part of a literary circle that included Franz Werfel, Martin Buber, and Kafka's close friend Max Brod. Encouraged by Brod, Kafka published the prose collection Observations in 1913. Two years later his story "The Stoker" won the Fontaine prize. In 1916 he began work on The Trial and between this time and 1923 produced three incomplete novels as well as numerous sketches and stories. In his lifetime some of his short works did appear: The Judgment (1916), The Metamorphosis (1916), The Penal Colony (1919), and The Country Doctor (1919). Before his death of tuberculosis in 1924, Kafka had charged Max Brod with the execution of his estate, ordering Brod to burn the manuscripts. With the somewhat circular justification that Kafka must have known his friend could not obey such an order, Brod decided to publish Kafka's writings. To this act of "betrayal" the world owes the preservation of some of the most unforgettable and influential literary works of our century.
精彩书评
“Kafka’s survey of the insectile situation of young Jews in inner Bohemia can hardly be improved upon: ‘With their posterior legs they were still glued to their father’s Jewishness and with their wavering anterior legs they found no new ground.’ There is a sense in which Kafka’s Jewish question (‘What have I in common with Jews?’) has become everybody’s question, Jewish alienation the template for all our doubts. What is Muslimness? What is femaleness? What is Polishness? These days we all find our anterior legs flailing before us. We’re all insects, all Ungeziefer, now.”
—Zadie Smith
“Kafka engaged in no technical experiments whatsoever; without in any way changing the German language, he stripped it of its involved constructions until it became clear and simple, like everyday speech purified of slang and negligence. The common experience of Kafka’s readers is one of general and vague fascination, even in stories they fail to understand, a precise recollection of strange and seemingly absurd images and descriptions—until one day the hidden meaning reveals itself to them with the sudden evidence of a truth simple and incontestable.”
—Hannah Arendt

书很棒,物流很给力。 好大一本书,是正版!各种不错!只是插图太多,有占篇符之嫌。故事很精彩,女儿很喜欢。书写的不错,能消除人的心瘾。目前已经戒烟第三天了,书拿到手挺有分量的,包装完好。还会继续来,一直就想买这本书,太谢谢京东了,发货神速,两天就到了,超给力的!5分!今天家里没有牛奶了,我和妈妈晚上便去门口的苏果便利买了一箱牛奶和一点饮料。刚好,苏果便利有一台电脑坏了,于是便开启了另外一台电脑。因为开电脑和调试的时间,队伍越排越长。过了5分钟,有一个阿姨突然提出把键盘换了,这样就能刷卡了。我妈妈就在旁边讲了一句:“键盘不能热插拔,必须要重启。”那个阿姨好像没听见,还在坚持已见。我提出:“妈妈,我们不要在这家店卖了吧!又不是在其他地方买不到。”妈妈看了看队伍,同意了。我们把东西一放,就去了另一家百货。我提出要换另一家店不是只因为这队伍太长,还有店员素质之差。你布置了两台电脑,那你随时都要准备好换一台电脑呀,你现在让人的感觉就是你只有一台电脑能用,那一台就好像是摆设,没有一点用。我气愤不过跟妈妈说“我们去网上买吧”这样就来京东了,看到了这本书就顺便买了。好了,我现在来说说这本书的观感吧,网络文学融入主流文学之难,在于文学批评家的缺席,在于衡量标准的混乱,很长一段时间,文学批评家对网络文学集体失语,直到最近一两年来,诸多活跃于文学批评领域的评论家,才开始着手建立网络文学的评价体系,很难得的是,他们迅速掌握了网络文学的魅力内核,并对网络文学给予了高度评价、寄予了很深的厚望。随着网络文学理论体系的建立,以及网络文学在创作水准上的不断提高,网络文学成为主流文学中的主流已是清晰可见的事情,下一届的“五个一工程奖”,我们期待看到更多网络文学作品的入选。了解京东:2013年3月30日晚间,京东商城正式将原域名360buy更换为jd,并同步推出名为“joy”的吉祥物形象,其首页也进行了一定程度改版。此外,用户在输入jingdong域名后,网页也自动跳转至jd。对于更换域名,京东方面表示,相对于原域名360buy,新切换的域名jd更符合中国用户语言习惯,简洁明了,使全球消费者都可以方便快捷地访问京东。同时,作为“京东”二字的拼音首字母拼写,jd也更易于和京东品牌产生联想,有利于京东品牌形象的传播和提升。京东在进步,京东越做越大。||||好了,现在给大家介绍两本本好书:《谢谢你离开我》是张小娴在《想念》后时隔两年推出的新散文集。从拿到文稿到把它送到读者面前,几个月的时间,欣喜与不舍交杂。这是张小娴最美的散文。美在每个充满灵性的文字,美在细细道来的倾诉话语。美在作者书写时真实饱满的情绪,更美在打动人心的厚重情感。从装祯到设计前所未有的突破,每个精致跳动的文字,不再只是黑白配,而是有了鲜艳的色彩,首次全彩印刷,法国著名唯美派插画大师,亲绘插图。|两年的等待加最美的文字,就是你面前这本最值得期待的新作。《洗脑术:怎样有逻辑地说服他人》全球最高端隐秘的心理学课程,彻底改变你思维逻辑的头脑风暴。白宫智囊团、美国FBI、全球十大上市公司总裁都在秘密学习!当今世界最高明的思想控制与精神绑架,政治、宗教、信仰给我们的终极启示。全球最高端隐秘的心理学课程,一次彻底改变你思维逻辑的头脑风暴。从国家、宗教信仰的层面透析“思维的真相”。白宫智囊团、美国FBI、全球十大上市公司总裁都在秘密学习!《洗脑术:怎样有逻辑地说服他人》涉及心理学、社会学、神经生物学、医学、犯罪学、传播学适用于:读心、攻心、高端谈判、公关危机、企业管理、情感对话……洗脑是所有公司不愿意承认,却是真实存在的公司潜规则。它不仅普遍存在,而且无孔不入。阅读本书,你将获悉: 怎样快速说服别人,让人无条件相信你?如何给人完美的第一印象,培 养无法抗拒的个人魅力?如何走进他人的大脑,控制他 们的思想?怎样引导他人的情绪,并将你的意志灌输给他们?如何构建一种信仰,为别人造梦?
