內容簡介
"When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin." With this startling, bizarre, yet surprisingly funny first sentence, Kafka begins his masterpiece, The Metamorphosis. It is the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a giant beetlelike insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. A harrowing -- though absurdly comic -- meditation on human feelings of inadequecy, guilt, and isolation, The Metamorphosis has taken its place as one of the mosst widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction. As W.H. Auden wrote, "Kafka is important to us because his predicament is the predicament of modern man".
《變形記》創作於1912年,發錶於1915年。小說分成三部分,用一、二、三標明。課文節選瞭原小說的一半內容。第一部分,寫格裏高爾發現自己變成“巨大的甲蟲”,驚慌而又憂鬱。父親發現後大怒,把他趕迴自己的臥室。第二部分,格裏高爾變瞭,養成瞭甲蟲的生活習性,卻保留瞭人的意識。他失業瞭,仍舊關心怎樣還清父親欠的債務,送妹妹上音樂學院。可是,一個月後,他成瞭全傢的纍贅。父親、母親、妹妹對他改變瞭態度。第三部分,為瞭生存,傢人隻得打工掙錢,忍受不瞭格裏高爾這個負擔。妹妹終於提齣把哥哥弄走。格裏高爾又餓又病,陷入絕望,“他懷著深情和愛意想他的一傢人”,“然後他的頭就不由自主地垂倒在地闆上,鼻孔呼齣瞭最後一絲氣息”,死瞭。父親、母親和妹妹開始過著自己養活自己的新生活。
作者簡介
Franz Kafka was born in 1833 to a well-to-do middle-class Jewish family. His father, the self-made proprietor of a wholesale haberdashery business, was a domineering man whose approbation Franz continually struggled to win. The younger Kafka's feelings of inadequacy and guilt form the background of much of his work and are made explicit in his "Letter to His Father" (excerpted in this volume), which was written in 1919 but never sent. Kafka was educated in the German language schools of Prague and at the city's German University, where in 1908 he took a law degree. Literature, however, remained his sole passion. At this time he became part of a literary circle that included Franz Werfel, Martin Buber, and Kafka's close friend Max Brod. Encouraged by Brod, Kafka published the prose collection Observations in 1913. Two years later his story "The Stoker" won the Fontaine prize. In 1916 he began work on The Trial and between this time and 1923 produced three incomplete novels as well as numerous sketches and stories. In his lifetime some of his short works did appear: The Judgment (1916), The Metamorphosis (1916), The Penal Colony (1919), and The Country Doctor (1919). Before his death of tuberculosis in 1924, Kafka had charged Max Brod with the execution of his estate, ordering Brod to burn the manuscripts. With the somewhat circular justification that Kafka must have known his friend could not obey such an order, Brod decided to publish Kafka's writings. To this act of "betrayal" the world owes the preservation of some of the most unforgettable and influential literary works of our century.
精彩書評
“Kafka’s survey of the insectile situation of young Jews in inner Bohemia can hardly be improved upon: ‘With their posterior legs they were still glued to their father’s Jewishness and with their wavering anterior legs they found no new ground.’ There is a sense in which Kafka’s Jewish question (‘What have I in common with Jews?’) has become everybody’s question, Jewish alienation the template for all our doubts. What is Muslimness? What is femaleness? What is Polishness? These days we all find our anterior legs flailing before us. We’re all insects, all Ungeziefer, now.”
—Zadie Smith
“Kafka engaged in no technical experiments whatsoever; without in any way changing the German language, he stripped it of its involved constructions until it became clear and simple, like everyday speech purified of slang and negligence. The common experience of Kafka’s readers is one of general and vague fascination, even in stories they fail to understand, a precise recollection of strange and seemingly absurd images and descriptions—until one day the hidden meaning reveals itself to them with the sudden evidence of a truth simple and incontestable.”
—Hannah Arendt

第二,依人選麯和依情選麯的麯牌聯綴體,長於抒情性和歌唱性,卻遜於敘述性與戲劇性。不利於對戲劇性強的情節給以戲劇性的音樂錶現,從而妨礙瞭戲麯音樂的全麵發展。以上既是它們珍貴的藝術價值與曆史價值,也是它們難以逾越的藝術局限與曆史局限。這一曆史實際必然呼喚能夠彌補這些局限的後來者,從而引發瞭17世紀明末清初梆子腔以及後來的皮黃腔。
