THE WINNER OF SORROW

Book ID/图书代码： 01834005B10912

English Summary/英文概要： ‘‘The Winner of Sorrow is a novel based on the life of the gentle poet, William Cowper - an evocation of his bizarre households and the wider world of late-eighteenth-century England as loving as it is deeply imagined and wholly original. Brian Lynch’s book is a brilliant tragi-comedy, aswirl with contradictory emotions - piety and passion, pity and fear, despair and hope, madness and practicality. Seen from so insightful a perspective.Cowper’s wildly troubled life is a thriller, and the reader is tempted to rush forward with the plot. Can the women who love William heal the wounds caused by loss? Can peace ever descend on his turbulent spirit? At the same time, one reads as slowly as possible, the better to prolong the encounter with a book that satisfies on many levels - that is profoundly serious, but also warm, witty, and very beautiful.’’

Chinese Summary/中文概要： The Winner of Sorrow 是一部基于文雅的诗人William Cowper的生活来写的小说，小说为读者展示了诗人奇异的家庭，更如实地反映了18世纪后期的英格兰的境况。Brian Lynch的这本书是一部完美的悲喜剧，充满了冲突的情感：虔诚与热情、遗憾与恐惧、绝望与希望、疯狂和实际。作者以深刻的见解和角度将Cowper的麻烦生活变成了一部惊悚小说，读者被惊险的情节牢牢抓住。同时，当读者们慢慢品味此书时，与它的互动过程越漫长，读者能获得的感受将越丰富。严肃深沉、而又温暖、诙谐、美丽动人，用这些形容词来描述这本书的特点绝对不为过。
