《围城》讲述的是20世纪30年代一群知识分子的故事。小说虽然处在中日战争的大背景中,但始终不触及时政,而是仅仅围绕着从欧洲留学回国的青年方鸿渐为中心,以调侃、幽默和极富讽刺意味的笔触,描绘了这位归国留学生在生活、工作和婚姻恋爱等方面遭遇到的重重矛盾和无奈。
Fortress Besieged is a classic of world literature, a masterpiece of parodic fiction that plays with Western literary traditions, philosophy and middle class Chinese society in the Republican era. The title is taken from an old French proverb, \"Marriage is like a fortress besieged: those who are outside want to get in, and those who are inside want to get out\". Set on the eve of the ferocious Sino-Japanese War, Fortress Besieged recounts the exuberant misadventures of the hapless hero Fang Hung-chien. This masterwork of world literature plays with Western traditions, picaresque humour, tragic-comedy, satire, Eastern philosophy and the mores of middle-class Chinese society to create its own unique feast of delights. |
