具體描述
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire is the tale of a catastrophic confrontation between fantasy and reality, embodied in the characters of Blanche DuBois and Stanley Kowalski. This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Arthur Miller.'I have always depended on the kindness of strangers'Fading southern belle Blanche DuBois is adrift in the modern world. When she arrives to stay with her sister Stella in a crowded, boisterous corner of New Orleans, her delusions of grandeur bring her into conflict with Stella's crude, brutish husband Stanley Kowalski. Eventually their violent collision course causes Blanche's fragile sense of identity to crumble, threatening to destroy her sanity and her one chance of happiness.Tennessee Williams's steamy and shocking landmark drama, recreated as the immortal film starring Marlon Brando, is one of the most influential plays of the twentieth century.Tennessee Williams (1911-1983) was born in Columbus, Mississippi. When his father, a travelling salesman, moved with his family to St Louis some years later, both he and his sister found it impossible to settle down to city life. He entered college during the Depression and left after a couple of years to take a clerical job in a shoe company. He stayed there for two years, spending the evenings writing. He received a Rockefeller Fellowship in 1940 for his play Battle of Angels, and he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948 and 1955. Among his many other plays Penguin have published The Glass Menagerie (1944), The Rose Tattoo (1951), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), Sweet Bird of Youth (1959), The Night of the Iguana (1961), and Small Craft Warnings (1972).If you enjoyed A Streetcar Named Desire, you might like The Glass Menagerie, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.'Lyrical and poetic and human and heartbreaking and memorable and funny'Francis Ford Coppola, director of The Godfather'One of the greatest American plays'Observer
用戶評價
##徹底改變人生。
評分##當自欺欺人的水晶宮坍塌，當欲望在惆悵的爵士樂中燃燒，當粗糙的現實碰撞飄渺的理想，就如那鮮花注定凋零，波爾卡舞麯與槍聲在空氣中迴蕩，毀滅是注定的終點。
評分##原作的感覺比電影好多瞭！！！大概是因為少瞭嘈雜尖銳的對話聲→_→ Tennessee對兩種style的對白的駕馭，細讀之下令人著迷，說是復調一般的感覺也不為過！還有包括音樂符號在內的各種象徵也是相當有趣的
評分##Tennessee關於nice people的定義讓人動容，他說他自己ashamed to say， 其實就是最簡單純粹的，反對過多闡釋，反對臉譜化，將戲劇還原於最原本的生活衝突。這本書是我最近最無法自拔的一本，世間有很多看似不閤理的存在，思考如何人性地對待這種存在，並且盡可能融洽地與之共存，在其宿命性的自我毀滅之前如何去做點什麼，永遠是我腦中長久以來遭反復證明又不得要領的一個命題。
評分##“你無法不愛新奧爾良這些多雨的下午，它們如此漫長，一個小時不再是一個小時，而是滴落在你手心的一小片永恒。”
評分##一本好書。但是一旦老師說：考試裏會涉及到這本書。就不想讀瞭好不好。
評分##Whoever you are — I have always depended on the kindness of strangers
評分##她努力地想逃避不堪迴首的過去，可帶著一個沒落貴族的各種矯情，實在是與一個中下層社會格格不入。
評分##一本好書。但是一旦老師說：考試裏會涉及到這本書。就不想讀瞭好不好。
