SURVIVAL: A THEMATIC GUIDE TO CANADIAN LITERATURE
Book ID/图书代码： 08B20126
English Summary/英文概要： When first published in 1972, Survival was considered the most startling book ever written about Canadian literature. Since then, it has continued to be read and taught, and it continues to shape the way Canadians look at themselves. Distinguished, provocative, and written in effervescent, compulsively readable prose, Survival is simultaneously a book of criticism, a manifesto, and a collection of personal and subversive remarks. Margaret Atwood begins by asking: "What have been the central preoccupations of our poetry and fiction?" Her answer is "survival and victims."
Atwood applies this thesis in twelve brilliant, witty, and impassioned chapters; from Moodie to MacLennan to Blais, from Pratt to Purdy to Gibson, she lights up familiar books in wholly new perspectives. This new edition features a foreword by the author.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《使女的故事》作者玛格丽特•阿特伍德文学批评代表作
“加拿大文学女王”趣味解读加拿大文学关键词
一本书带你读懂加拿大文学
《生存：加拿大文学主题指南》是玛格丽特•阿特伍德的文学批评代表作，首版于1972年。本书是了解加拿大文学的最佳指南，也是阿特伍德早期奠定自己文学界地位的代表作品。在她无比丰厚的文学创作中，这是一部相当独特、甚至称得上独一无二的著作。在阿特伍德看来，代表美国文学中心象征的 是它的拓荒精神；代表英国文学的是它的岛屿精神；而代表加拿大的则是其生存精神；此后“生存”也成为她文学创作的关键词之一。尤为可贵的是，本书并不艰涩深奥，而是用一种通俗易懂且不失风趣的写作方式，面向最广大的普通读者。《生存》是加拿大文学史上雅俗共赏的经典，出版后成为广受加拿大读者喜爱的本国文学导读图，并被译成多种语言，成为外国读者了解加拿大文学的一本必备读物，继而对如何通过个体去书写并见证独属于本国的文化产生自己的思考。对于今天的读者而言，“生存”或许不再是一个独属于哪个国家的关键词，而是我们所有人不得不关注的话题。在作家本人漫长的创作生涯中，更是从未停止过对这一主题的关注和开拓。尤其对阿特伍德作品感兴趣的读者，《生存》也是一部解读阿特伍德创作生涯关键词的绝佳指南。(DB)
