f******k 发帖数: 297 | 1 今天正巧有空到DC的一家小有名气的旧书店逛了逛. 书店门面不大,
有些打折的书干脆就摆到外面, 种类也乱七八糟的. 我翻着翻着,
竟然发现了一本Everyman's Library 31年版的Jean Christophe,
书是Hardcover的, 保存的还可以, 就是书内脊有些裂. 随便翻了
两页, 感觉英文翻译的非常流畅, 喜出望外中赶紧买了下来, 才
三个大洋, hoho, 这个可是偶小时候精神上的偶像呀.
其实Romain Rolland的东东在美国并不畅销, 就是Jean Christophe
这样的巨著也是早就out of print了. 感觉可能是美国人对于Romain
Rolland塑造出来的这样的英雄人物不太感冒, 对于上世纪初的整个
欧洲的意识形态没有兴趣, 抑或是Romain Rolland有那种Socialism倾

translated by Fu Lei, in my humble opinion, might not be worse
than any other translated version, if not better.
Translator like Fu Lei is one per one hundred years. I pretty
much appreciate his work.

magazine, reviews of the new books are overwhelming. They cannot
find time to read those copyright-expired old scrap, :-)
Rolland no longer have book promotion travels, no publisher think it
worthwhile to do promition for him, he's destined to remain his
honorable obscurity. He already yielded the spot to Micheal Crichton
for his new "Prey".

| f******k 发帖数: 297 | 6 well, i do not think it is solely for publicity
that throws the novel into oblivion. the value
of a novel, as i see, depends on the intrinsic
tie between culture and the work, that's how
'timeless' comes. there are still some "copyright-
expired old crap" floating around, like Thomas
Mann's Magic Mountain, Proust's Rememberance, etc.
But our old Jean Christophe remains in obscurity.

| b**h 发帖数: 32 | 7 Don't know why you called Proust's Remembrance as a crap. Actually I have read
Christophe but don't like it. It's quite normal that for any novel, some
people like it while others don't. It totally depends on his or her personal
taste. You don't need to denigrate one book just to praise another one.
As for why Jean Christophe is out of print here, one reason is probably due to
its extreme idealism, which does not fly nowadays.

You guys might share the same idea:). Language obscurity:)
