内容简介

"When I look back on my childhood, I wonder how I survived at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood. People everywhere brag or whimper about the woes of their early years, but nothing can compare with the Irish version: the poverty; the shiftless loquacious father; the pious defeated mother moaning by the fire; pompous priests; bullying shcoolmasters; the English and the terrible things they did to us for eight hundred long years. Above all we were wet!" So begins Frank McCourt's stunning memoir of his childhood in Ireland and America, a recollection of unvarnished truth and no self pity, of grinding poverty and indomitable spirit that will live in the memory long after the tape has ended. Now a major film directed by Alan Parker and starring Robert Carlyle and Emily Watson.

作者简介

In 2006, he won the prestigious Ellis Island Family Heritage Award for Exemplary Service in the Field of the Arts and the United Federation of Teachers John Dewey Award for Excellence in Education.

精彩书评

"Frank McCourt's gentle, understated voice throws into relief the admirable humour, spirit and humanity of the people who made the degradation of his childhood bearable."

Chapter IV
First Communion day is the happiest day of your life because of The Collectionand James Cagney at the Lyric Cinema. The night before I was so excited Icouldn't sleep till dawn. I'd still be sleeping if my grandmother hadn't come banging at the door.
Get up! Get up! Get that child outa the bed. Happiest day of his life an' him snorin' above in the bed.
I ran to the kitchen. Take off that shirt, she said. I took off the shirt and she pushed me into a tin tub of icy cold water. My mother scrubbed me, my grandmother scrubbed me. I was raw, I was red.
They dried me. They dressed me in my black velvet First Communion suit with the white frilly shirt, the short pants, the white stockings, the black patent leather shoes. Around my arm they tied a white satin bow and on my lapel theypinned the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a picture with blood dripping from it, flames erupting all around it and on top a nasty-looking crown of thorns.
Come here till I comb your hair, said Grandma. Look at that mop, it won't lie down. You didn't get that hair from my side of the family. That's that North of Ireland hair you got from your father. That's the kind of hair you see on Presbyterians. If your mother had married a proper decent Limerickman you wouldn't have this standing up, North of Ireland, Presbyterian hair.
She spat twice on my head.
Grandma, will you please stop spitting on my head.
If you have anything to say, shut up. A little spit won't kill you. Come on, we'll be late for the Mass.
We ran to the church. My mother panted along behind with Michael in her arms. We arrived at the church just in time to see the last of the boys leaving the altar rail where the priest stood with the chalice and the host, glaring at me. Then he placed on my tongue the wafer, the body and blood of Jesus. At last, at last.
It's on my tongue. I draw it back.
It stuck.
I had God glued to the roof of my mouth. I could hear the master's voice, Don't let that host touch your teeth for if you bite God in two you'll roast in hell for eternity. I tried to get God down with my tongue but the priest hissed at me, Stop that clucking and get back to your seat. God was good. He melted and I swallowed Him and now, at last, I was a member of the True Church, an official sinner.
When the Mass ended there they were at the door of the church, my mother with Michael in her arms, my grandmother. They each hugged me to their bosoms. They each told me it was the happiest day of my life. They each cried all over my head and after my grandmother's contribution that morning my head was a swamp.
Mam, can I go now and make The Collection?
She said, After you have a little breakfast.
No, said Grandma.You're not making no collection till you have a proper FirstCommunion breakfast at my house. Come on.
We followed her. She banged pots and rattled pans and complained that the whole world expected her to be at their beck and call. I ate the egg, I ate the sausage, and when I reached for more sugar for my tea she slapped my hand away.
Go aisy with that sugar. Is it a millionaire you think I am? An American? Is it bedecked in glitterin' jewelry you think I am? Smothered in fancyfurs?
The food churned in my stomach. I gagged. I ran to her backyard and threw it all up. Out she came.
Look at what he did. Thrun up his First Communion breakfast. Thrun up the bodyand blood of Jesus. I have God in me backyard. What am I goin' to do? I'll takehim to the Jesuits for they know the sins of the Pope himself.
She dragged me through the streets of Limerick. She told the neighbors andpassing strangers about God in her backyard. She pushed me into the confessionbox.
In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost. Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It's a day since my last confession.
A day? And what sins have you committed in a day, my child?
I overslept. I nearly missed my First Communion. My grandmother said I have standing up, North of Ireland, Presbyterian hair. I threw up my First Communion breakfast. Now Grandma says she has God in her backyard and what should she do.
The priest is like the First Confession priest. He has the heavy breathing andthe choking sounds.
Ah...ah...tell your grandmother to wash God away with a little water and for your penance say one Hail Mary and one Our Father. Say a prayer for me and God bless you, my child.
Grandma and Mam were waiting close to the confession box. Grandma said, Were you telling jokes to that priest in the confession box? If 'tis a thing I everfind out you were telling jokes to Jesuits I'll tear the bloody kidneys outayou. Now what did he say about God in my backyard?
He said wash Him away with a little water, Grandma.
Holy water or ordinary water?
He didn't say, Grandma.
Well, go back and ask him.
But, Grandma...
She pushed me back into the confessional.
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned, it's a minute since my last confession.
A minute! Are you the boy that was just here?
I am, Father.
What is it now?
My grandma says, Holy water or ordinary water?
Ordinary water, and tell your grandmother not to be bothering me again.
I told her, Ordinary water, Grandma, and he said don't be bothering him again.
Don't be bothering him again. That bloody ignorant bogtrotter.
I asked Mam, Can I go now and make The Collection? I want to see James Cagney.
Grandma said, You can forget about The Collection and James Cagney becauseyou're not a proper Catholic the way you left God on the ground. Come on, go home.
Mam said, wait a minute. That's my son. That's my son on his First Communion day. He's going to see James Cagney.
No he's not.
Yes he is.
Grandma said, Take him then to James Cagney and see if that will save hisPresbyterian North of Ireland American soul. Go ahead.
She pulled her shawl around her and walked away.
Mam said, God, it's getting very late for The Collection and you'll neversee James Cagney. We'll go to the Lyric Cinema and see if they'll let you in anyway in your First Communion suit. We met Mikey Molloy on Barrington Street. He asked if I was going to the Lyric and I said I was trying. Trying? he said. You don't have money? I was ashamed to say no but I had to and he said, That's all right. I'll get you in. I'll create a diversion.
What's a diversion?
I have the money to go and when I get in I'll pretend to have the fit andthe ticket man will be out of his mind and you can slip in when I let out the big scream. I'll be watching the door and when I see you in I'll have a miraculous recovery. That's a diversion. That's what I do to get my brothers in all the time.
Mam said, Oh, I don't know about that, Mikey. Wouldn't that be a sin and surelyyou wouldn't want Frank to commit a sin on his Communion day.
Mikey said if there was a sin it would be on his soul and he wasn't a proper Catholic anyway so it didn't matter. He let out his scream and I slipped in and sat next to Question Quigley and the ticket man, Frank Goggin, was so worried over Mikey he never noticed.

给爸爸的书，印的很好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5,6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。书是正版的，之前有过担心滴。内容还行吧，尽管我没觉得有多充实。冲着是名人写的，书的质量还行就不挑剔了。卖家发货挺快的，第二天就收到了。书还是不错的，精装外壳，发货速度真心的快，评价晚了，书不错，应该再早点看的。推荐看，只是粗浅认识了一下，已经感觉到自己逻辑思维更加清晰。好书，受益匪浅，如果不好好研究一下此书，绝对是人生一大遗憾。好了，我现在来说说这本书的观感吧，坐得冷板凳，耐得清寂夜，是为学之根本；独处不寂寞，游走自在乐，是为人之良质。潜心学问，风姿初显。喜爱独处，以窥视内心，反观自我；砥砺思想，磨砺意志。学与诗，文与思；青春之神思飞扬与学问之静寂孤独本是一种应该的、美好的平衡。在中国传统文人那里，诗人性情，学者本分，一脉相承久矣。现在讲究“术业有专攻”，分界逐渐明确，诗与学渐离渐远。此脉悬若一线，惜乎。我青年游历治学，晚年回首成书，记忆清新如初，景物历历如昨。挥发诗人情怀，摹写学者本分，意足矣，足已矣。据了解，京东为顾客提供操作规范的逆向物流以及上门取件、代收货款等专业服务。已经开通全国360个大中城市的配送业务，近1000家配送站，并开通了自提点，社区合作、校园合作、便利店合作等形式，可以满足诸多商家以及消费者个性化的配送需求。为了全面满足客户的配送需求，京东商城打造了万人的专业服务团队，拥有四通八达的运输网络、遍布全国的网点覆盖，以及日趋完善的信息系统平台。所以京东的物流我是比较放心的。好了，现在给大家介绍两本好书：《婚姻是女人一辈子的事》简介：最实用剩女出嫁实战手册、婚女幸福宝典；婚姻不是最终归宿，幸福的婚姻才是真正的目的；内地首席励志作家陆琪 首部情感励志力作；研究男女情感问题数年，陆琪首本情感婚姻励志作品。作者作为怀揣女权主义的男人，毫无保留地剖析男人的弱点，告诉女人应该如何分辨男人的爱情，如何掌控男人，如何获得婚姻的幸福。事实上，男人和女人是两种完全不同的动物，用女人的思考方式，永远也了解不透男人。所以陆琪以男性背叛者的角度，深刻地挖掘男人最深层的情感态度和婚姻方式，让女人能够有的放矢、知己知彼，不再成为情感掌控的弱者。二、《正能量（实践版）》——将“正能量”真正实践应用的第一本书！心理自助全球第一品牌书！销量突破600万册！“世界级的演讲家和激励大师”韦恩·戴尔，为我们带来了这本世界级的心理学巨作！他在韦恩州立大学获得过教育咨询博士学位，曾任纽约圣约翰大学教授，是自我实现领域的国际知名作家和演讲家。他出版过28本畅销书，制作了许多广播节目和电视录像，而且在数千个电视和广播节目中做过嘉宾访谈。本书跻身《纽约时报》畅销书榜数十周之久，在全球取得了极高的赞誉，曾激励数百万人走上追逐幸福之途。《正能量（实践版）》——内容最实用、案例最详实，10周改善你的人生！这本书是作者联合数十位科学家、心理学家，耗费十余年心力的研究结晶。通过一系列行之有效的方法，以帮助所有身处人生低谷、长期焦虑、沮丧、消沉、自我怀疑的人，过上幸福喜乐的生活。每一章都像一次心理咨询，详细论述了各种自我挫败行为，分析我们之所以不愉快、消极应对生活的原因，把人们日常生活中所暴露的性格缺陷（如自暴自弃、崇拜、依赖）和不良情绪（如悔恨、忧虑、抱怨、愤怒）逐条分析，揭开你最想知道的心理学真相，每章结尾都提供了简易的方法，使得你即刻改变恶行，拥抱新生。
