Book ID/图书代码： 02330013B59986
English Summary/英文概要： The classic tale of one man’s struggle with alcoholism, this revolutionary novel remains Charles Jackson’s best-known book—a daring autobiographical work that paved the way for contemporary addiction literature.
It is 1936, and on the East Side of Manhattan, a would-be writer named Don Birnam decides to have a drink. And then another, and then another, until he’s in the midst of what becomes a five-day binge. The Lost Weekend moves with unstoppable speed, propelled by a heartbreaking but unflinching truth. It catapulted Charles Jackson to fame, and endures as an acute study of the ravages of alcoholism, as well as an unforgettable parable of the condition of the modern man.

About the Author/作者介绍： 查理斯 傑克遜1903年出生，在紐約邊城阿凱迪亞長大，這也成為了他小說的背景。青少年時期因結核病和酗酒而痛苦不堪。他的首本小說The Lost Weekend (1944)為他贏得了名家稱號。後來此書由Billy Wilder 和 Charles Brackett改編成經典電影。後來九年傑克遜還出版了兩本小說和兩部短篇故事集，同時還在與酒精和藥癮做鬥爭。1967年，沉寂了15年之後，他又以一部講述女色情狂的小說A Second-Hand Life（《二手生活》）成為暢銷小說家。後一年他便在曼哈頓的切爾西酒店去世。
Charles Jackson was born in 1903 and raised in the township of Arcadia, New York, in the Finger Lakes region, where much of his fiction is set. After a youth marred by tuberculosis and alcoholism, Jackson achieved international fame with his first novel, The Lost Weekend (1944), which was adapted into a classic movie by Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett. Over the next nine years, Jackson published two more novels and two story collections, while continuing to struggle with alcohol and drug addiction. In 1967, after a fourteen-year silence, he returned to the best-seller lists with a novel about a nymphomaniac, A Second-Hand Life, but the following year he died of an overdose at the Hotel Chelsea in Manhattan.
