內容簡介
Kurt Vonnegut's absurdist classic Slaughterhouse-Five introduces us to Billy Pilgrim, a man who becomes 'unstuck in time' after he is abducted by aliens from the planet Tralfamadore. In a plot-scrambling display of virtuosity, we follow Pilgrim simultaneously through all phases of his life, concentrating on his (and Vonnegut's) shattering experience as an American prisoner of war who witnesses the firebombing of Dresden.
Slaughterhouse-Five is not only Vonnegut's most powerful book, it is also as important as any written since 1945. Like Catch-22, it fashions the author's experiences in the Second World War into an eloquent and deeply funny plea against butchery in the service of authority. Slaughterhouse-Five boasts the same imagination, humanity, and gleeful appreciation of the absurd found in Vonnegut's other works, but the book's basis in rock-hard, tragic fact gives it unique poignancy -- and humor.
作者簡介
Born in 1922, Vonnegut grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana. His architect father suffered great financial setbacks during the Depression and was unemployed for long stretches of time. His mother suffered from mental illness and eventually committed suicide in 1944, a trauma that haunted Vonnegut all his life. He attended Cornell in the early 1940s, but quit in order to enlist in the Army during WWII.
Vonnegut was shipped to Europe, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and was captured behind enemy lines and incarcerated in a German prison camp. As a POW, he witnessed the firebombing of Dresden by Allied forces, an event of devastating magnitude that left an indelible impression on the young soldier.
After the war, Vonnegut returned home and married his high school sweetheart. In addition to two daughters and a son of their own, he and his first wife adopted three children orphaned in 1958 by the death of Vonnegut's sister Alice. (He and his second wife adopted another daughter.) The family lived in Chicago and Schenectady before settling in Cape Cod, where Vonnegut began to concentrate seriously on his writing. His first novel, the darkly dystopian Player Piano, was published in 1952 and met with moderate success. Three additional novels followed (including the critically acclaimed Cat's Cradle), but it was not until the publication of 1969's Slaughterhouse Five that Vonnegut achieved true literary stardom. Based on the author's wartime experiences in Dresden, the novel resonated powerfully in the social upheaval of the Vietnam era.
Although he is best known for his novels (a genre-blending mix of social satire, science fiction, surrealism, and black comedy), Vonnegut also wrote short fiction, essays, and plays (the best known of which was Happy Birthday, Wanda June). In addition, he was a talented graphic artist who illustrated many of his books and exhibited sporadically during his literary career. He died on April 11, 2007, after suffering irreversible brain injuries as a result of a fall.

書是真品,很好 我在網上買的幾本書送到瞭。取書的時候,忽然想起一傢小書店,就在我們大院對麵的街上,以前我常去,書店的名字毫無記憶,但店裏的女老闆我很熟,每次需要什麼書都先給她打電話說好,晚上散步再去取。我們像朋友一樣聊天,她還時常替讀者找我簽名。可是,自從學會從網上購書後,我再也沒去過她那裏瞭,今天忽然想起她,晚上散步到她那裏,她要我教她在網上買書,這就是幫她在京東上買瞭這本書。好瞭,廢話不說。好瞭,我現在來說說這本書的觀感吧,網絡文學融入主流文學之難,在於文學批評傢的缺席,在於衡量標準的混亂,很長一段時間,文學批評傢對網絡文學集體失語,直到最近一兩年來,諸多活躍於文學批評領域的評論傢,纔開始著手建立網絡文學的評價體係,很難得的是,他們迅速掌握瞭網絡文學的魅力內核,並對網絡文學給予瞭高度評價、寄予瞭很深的厚望。隨著網絡文學理論體係的建立,以及網絡文學在創作水準上的不斷提高,網絡文學成為主流文學中的主流已是清晰可見的事情,下一屆的“五個一工程奬”,我們期待看到更多網絡文學作品的入選。寶貝非常不錯,和圖片上描述的完全吻閤,絲毫不差,無論色澤還是哪些方麵,都十分讓我覺得應該稱贊較好,完美! 書是正品,很不錯!速度也快,絕對的好評,下次還來京東,因為看到一句話 女人可以不買漂亮衣服不買奢侈的化妝品但不能不看書,買瞭幾本書都很好 值得看。京東商城圖書頻道提供豐富的圖書産品,種類包括小說、文學、傳記、藝術、少兒、經濟、管理、生活等圖書的網上銷售,為您提供最佳的購書體驗。網購上京東,省錢又放心!在網上購物,動輒就要十多元的運費,往往是令許多網購消費者和商傢躊躇於網購及銷售的成本。就在買方賣方都在考慮成本的同時,京東做瞭一個錶率性的舉動。隻要達到某個會員級彆,不分品類實行全場免運費。這是一個太摔的舉動瞭,支持京東。給大傢介紹本好書《小時代3.0:刺金時代》內容簡介《小時代3.0:刺金時代》是郭敬明的第五部長篇小說,於2007年11月開始在《最小說》上獨傢連載,獲得讀者們空前熱烈的追捧,各大媒體的相關討論和爭議也層齣不窮,一場火爆的《小時代3.0:刺金時代》風潮由此掀起。郭敬明在《小時代3.0:刺金時代》的創作中,又一次展現瞭對多種文字風格的完美駕馭能力。他以全新的敘事風格和敏感而細微的筆觸,將當代青少年、大學生、都市白領的生活和情感故事集中、加工、娓娓道來,從小角度展現瞭作者對整個社會的觀察和思考。這部長篇係列正式開始前,郭敬明曾許諾將要連續創作五年,而在五年終結之際,《小時代3.0:刺金時代》係列將如約迎來它輝煌的謝幕。林蕭、簡溪、顧源、顧裏、南湘、唐宛如……五年間,他們已然成為陪伴讀者們度過青春時期的夥伴,他們仿佛活生生地站在讀者身邊,呼吸著,微笑著,與每一個人共同歡樂,共同哭泣。故事有終結的一天,然而人物卻能躍齣故事,在讀者心中長長久久地鮮活下去,從這個意義上來講,《小時代3.0:刺金時代》是每一個讀者的小時代,它永遠也不會完結。

最近買瞭好多書,基本首選自營,速度快。不過書這一塊,自營確實不如第三方:明明是髒頁,損頁的,仍然照樣發貨(以自營配送,很難配送時損壞弄髒),揀貨員視而不見?庫存僅剩一本時,基本剩這本肯定是殘次品。因為書的質量,幾次退換貨!希望加強監管!
