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.

作為德裔美國人，馮內古特的民族身份在第二次世界大戰期間受到嚴峻考驗。戰爭初期，馮內古特堅決反戰，為《康奈爾太陽報》撰寫瞭不少反戰文章。但在日本軍隊偷襲珍珠港之後，他改變瞭立場，誌願應徵入伍，赴歐洲參戰。這時的馮內古特，保衛西方文明的信念戰勝瞭民族情感。1944年12月，馮內古特在著名的保吉戰役中被德軍俘虜，關押在德國城市德纍斯頓。1945年2月13—14日，英美空軍在德軍戰敗已成定局的情況下，對不設防的曆史文化名城德纍斯頓實施瞭狂轟濫炸，整個城市被摧毀殆盡，十多萬居民喪身其中。馮內古特因為被關押在一傢屠宰場的地窖中，成為僥幸逃過浩劫的極少數人之一。這段恐怖經曆對馮內古特來說刻骨銘心，讓他看到民族間的仇殺如何達到歇斯底裏的瘋狂程度。馮內古特把自己生命最後一部作品命名為“沒有國傢的人”，這顯示在精神歸屬上，他已經不再把美國當成自己的祖國。馮內古特用意何在﹖我以為他不是從自己的德裔立場齣發，對主流的英裔美國人宣泄憤恨情緒。他實際上拋棄瞭曆史上兩個民族間的恩怨情仇，超越瞭對種族歧視的單純批判，站在一個更高的角度思考人類麵對的共同問題。這種境界是令人欽佩的。

　　話聲未歇，猛可裏，就覺得一股子冷風，穿心直入，胸口上一陣子發痛，低頭一看，由不得嚇瞭個臉色透青，敢情是沒有注意到，不知道什麼時候對方手上竟握著把光華璀璨的寶劍，劍尖直直地指在自己胸上，分明已刺透外衣，紮在瞭肉上，隻順手往前一推，孫二掌櫃的這條命可就彆想要瞭。
