THE SECRET LIFE OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Book ID/图书代码： 06140511B50444

English Summary/英文概要： The greatest writer of them all, brought to glorious life.

How well do you know the man you love? How much do you think you know about Shakespeare? What if they were one and the same? He is an ordinary man: unwilling craftsman, ambitious actor, resentful son, almost good-enough husband. And he is also a genius. The story of how a glove-maker from Warwickshire became the greatest writer of them all is vaguely known to most of us, but it would take an exceptional modern novelist to bring him to life. And now at last Jude Morgan, acclaimed author of Passion and The Taste of Sorrow, has taken Shakespeare’s life, and created a masterpiece.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 最伟大的作家，必有耀眼夺目的生平。

你有多了解你爱的那个男子？你又以为自己有多了解莎士比亚？倘若他们其实是同一个人，你信吗？他其实是一名平凡男子，他不甘于一辈子碌碌无为做一名匠师，他是野心勃勃的演员，一心想要闯出天下，他是不孝的儿子，他算是一名还算合格的丈夫，然而最重要的是，他是一名天才。或许我们都隐约记得那个平凡的手套工匠蜕变成了举世闻名的作家，但是假以一名杰出的当代小说家之手，莎翁在我们心目中的形象更为鲜活具体起来。就让《激情与悲伤的滋味》的作者裘德•摩根带领我们走进莎士比亚的世界。(兼职翻译-DC)

’This book, which doesn’t appear in the shops till April 12th, is a revelation. The first thing to say is this: at no point do you feel wrenched out of the comfort zone of modern life and thrust into a fusty, musty, olde-worlde England where you’re not sure what’s going on and where everyone speaks oddly. There is no pish-tushery here…Morgan is adept at giving a shape and meaning to lives and talents we find it hard to grasp. His novel A Taste of Sorrow brought the Bronte family to life in an extraordinarily moving way and here, his great achievement is to have fleshed out the facts we know in such a way that we are there, with the protagonists, sharing their fortunes, their setbacks, their personal tragedies and above all, the separate stories of their relationships…tender and beautiful …This is the best thing about the book: the fact that Will, though its hero, acts mostly as a mysterious centre of other people’s stories. There is scarcely any quotation from his work. There’s no trite scene where we see him chewing the end of his quill while struggling to find words. Only a few of the plays are alluded to. Rather Morgan has made the writing almost the ‘secret life’ of the title: something that happens, something he does, away from the main action of the novel. We are aware of it going on off-stage and our main focus is on Will’s personal life, his friendships, his heartaches, his love for his wife, through everything that happens to them both…This is a beautifully structured, perfectly written book which is moving because it brings out the human story of an almost supernaturally gifted writer. Anyone who already loves Shakespeare will find it compelling and fascinating and for those who still have to discover him, this novel is an ideal way of approaching him.
