THE COMMITMENTS

Book ID/图书代码： 03540014B76436

English Summary/英文概要： Barrytown, Dublin, has something to sing about.

The Commitments are spreading the gospel of the soul. Ably managed by Jimmy Rabbitte, brilliantly coached by Joey ’The Lips’ Fagan, their twin assault on Motown and Barrytown takes them by leaps and bounds from the parish hall to the steps of the studio door.

But can The Commitments live up to their name?

The bestselling book behind the long-running West End stage show.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《承诺》是爱尔兰作家罗迪摇·摇道伊尔（Roddy Doyle）的代表作之一，属于其创作的“巴里镇三部曲”系列第一部。该小说通过描绘一群都柏林年轻人组建乐队并追求音乐梦想的故事，展现了20世纪80年代爱尔兰社会变迁与文化身份的探讨。 ‌

‌ 作品背景
小说以都柏林市郊巴里镇为背景，讲述失业青年吉米·拉比特（Jimmy Rabbitte）组建乐队“承诺”（The Commitments）的经历。故事从黑人灵魂乐切入，将音乐作为文化身份的载体，既批判爱尔兰社会对“他者”形象的固化认知，又通过个体经历重构爱尔兰民族认同。 ‌

文学地位
《承诺》是道伊尔文学创作的起点，其将社会观察与音乐叙事结合的手法影响了后续作品。1991年同名电影改编后广受关注，进一步扩大了作品影响力。2013年舞台剧版本由导演杰米·劳埃德执导，延续了原著对音乐与身份政治的探讨。(Sandy)
