| 藉由一個撼動人心的開場,奧茲將這本影響深遠的作品呈現在讀者面前,故事描寫十九世紀時期美利堅,李希特家族憑藉一個個富含冒險精神、勇於開創進取的家族成員,一舉道盡其興衰起落。 打從紐約的處女地到競爭激烈的西部拓荒、從華盛頓特區的政治密室到金色年代的亞特蘭大、從聲樂悠揚的卡內基音樂廳再到二○、三○年代的哈林區,而正如其欺矇拐騙的絕佳技巧,李希特家族自是愛的轟轟烈烈、刻苦銘心,奧茲筆下這部《我心坦然》娓娓道出這個令人難以忘懷的家族故事。 如果您喜歡《唐頓莊園》(Downton Abbey)裡 Upstairs & Downstairs 的精彩生活,抑或想精進您的英文修辭,那請勿錯過這本《我心坦然》,絕對讓您獲益良多。 In a striking departure, Joyce Carol Oates brings us a sweeping novel of the fortunes and misfortunes of a family of enterprising confidence artists in nineteenth-century America. In 1891, Abraham Licht arrives in Muirkirk to establish his criminal dynasty. Like a biblical patriarch, he sees his immortality in his sons, Thurston and Harwood; his daughter, Millicent; and Elisha, his adopted child and true heir in talent and ambition. But Licht's own mortality lies in the faroff past, in lady's maid Sarah Licht. It is Sarah's spirit that haunts their story, as Abraham and his clan move with consummate ease through the newly expanding country, from scheme to dazzling scheme. From the virgin provinces of NY State to the rough-and-tumble western frontier...from the political back rooms of Washington D.C., to the Atlantic City of the Gilded Age...for Carnegie Hall to Harlem in the twenties and thirties. My Heart Laid Bare tells the story of an unforgettable family, as strongly possessed of the power to deceive as they are of the power to love. |
