English Summary/英文概要： Iris Murdoch’s first novel is a gem - solid and sparkling. Set in a part of London, where struggling writers rub shoulders with successful bookies, and film starlets with frantic philosophers. Its hero, Jake Donaghue, is a drifting, clever, likeable young man who makes a living out of translation work and sponging on his friends. Meeting again, after some years, an old flame, Anna, he is led into a series of fantastic adventures. Iris Murdoch has wit, great power of invention and a knack for producing absurd incidents with a serious undertone and tender episodes with an edge of satire. Robust, full of flavour and panache, here is one of those rare novels which equally make one laugh and make one think.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《網之下》是默多克的第一本小說，以倫敦的某處為背景。故事中那些艱苦奮鬥的作家與成功的賭徒混在一起，而電影新興則與瘋狂地哲學家混在一起。主人公傑克是一個漂浮不定，聰明伶俐，招人喜愛的年輕人，他靠一些翻譯工作和朋友的支援維持生計。與舊情人安娜再次相遇後，傑克與她一道開始了一系列奇幻的旅程。傑克被一位叫做雨果的威嚴哲學家深深折服，而且他那淵博而非決定性的反思為此書提供了標題——在語言的網之下。(兼职翻译-XMM)
