THE LONELINESS OF THE LONG DISTANCE RUNNER
Book ID/图书代码： 11701219C00003
English Summary/英文概要： From the author of ‘Saturday Night and Sunday Morning’ come stories of hardship and hope in post-war Britain.
The title story in this classic collection tells of Smith, a defiant young rebel, inhabiting the no-man’s land of institutionalised Borstal. As his steady jog-trot rhythm transports him over an unrelenting, frost-bitten earth, he wonders why, for whom and for what he is running.
A groundbreaking work, ‘The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner’ captured the grim isolation of the working class in the English Midlands when it was first published in 1960s. But Sillitoe’s depiction of petty crime and deep-seated anger in industrial and desperate cities remains as potent today as it was almost half a century ago.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《周六之夜和周日之晨》一书的作者讲述了战后英国的苦难和希望。
这一经典系列的标题故事讲述了史密斯——一个敢于反抗的年轻叛军，居住在制度化的博尔斯塔尔的无人地带。当他稳定的慢跑节奏将他带过一片无情的、被冻伤的土地时，他想知道这是为什么，为了谁。
这部开创性的作品《长跑者的孤独》在20世纪60年代首次出版时，抓住了英国中部地区工人阶级的严峻孤立状态。但西利托对工业城市和绝望城市中的轻微犯罪和根深蒂固的愤怒的描述在今天仍然和半个世纪前一样有力。（WYL）
Awards/获奖情况：佩内洛普•莫蒂默说：“我没有读过任何可以与之相比的书。”
《每日电讯报》报道说：“西利托写得精力充沛，他的故事情节简单。”
“世界上所有富有想象力的同情都不能伪造这种东西。它一定生活在里面，被看见，被触摸，被嗅到：我们很幸运，有一位作家从中走出来，了解真相，并有能力将真相转化为艺术。”——《新政治家》
‘I have read nothing to compare with it.’ Penelope Mortimer
‘Sillitoe writes with tremendous energy, and his stories simply tear along.’ Daily Telegraph
‘All the imaginative sympathy in the world can’t fake this kind of thing. It must have been lived in, seen, touched, smelled: and we are lucky to have a writer who has come out of it knowing the truth, and having the skill to turn that truth into art.’ New Statesman
