The greatest Chinese novel of the twentieth century. Fortress Besieged is a classic of world literature, a masterpiece of parodic fiction that plays with Western literary traditions, philosophy, and middle-class Chinese society in the Republican era. Set on the eve of the Sino-Japanese War, our hapless hero Fang Hung-chien (à la Emma Bovary), with no particular goal in life and with a bogus degree from a fake American university in hand, returns home to Shanghai. On the French liner home, he meets two Chinese beauties, Miss Su and Miss Pao. Qian writes, "With Miss Pao it wasn't a matter of heart or soul. She hadn't any change of heart, since she didn't have a heart." In a sort of painful comedy, Fang obtains a teaching post at a newly established university where the effete pseudo-intellectuals he encounters in academia become the butt of Qian's merciless satire. Soon Fang is trapped into a marriage of Nabokovian proportions of distress and absurdity. Recalling Fielding's Tom Jones in its farcical litany of misadventures and Flaubert's "style indirect libre," Fortress Besieged is its own unique feast of delights. The translators Jeanne Kelly and Nathan K. Mao have breathed life into the English translation.
##就本人的阅历来看,似乎还不怎么够格评价这本书的,然对于字里行间的幽默智慧和人性荒谬,细节刻画之入木,说钱先生眼力独到也好,卖弄文字技巧也好,在精妙之处常难免会心大笑,似乎就在说自己和周围的人。或多或少有所共鸣,在其中能觅到自己的影子。整本小说节奏偏慢,喜情...
评分##Kelly译的也是让人迷醉,把Chien那么油的半文半白的东西完全做成大白话...可惜了一部算是精品的华语小说了
评分##极郁闷的人,书可看《围城》,影可看《一起去看流星雨》 第一次看的时候是在大学,那个时候正被《文化苦旅》折磨着,看到《围城》这般有趣的故事,草草阅过,只觉内心欢喜:原来名著也有读起来颇为轻松的。 而今辗转数年,张爱玲杜拉斯生命不可承受之轻通通被我卖掉,唯此一本...
评分##钱钟书是比喻和通感的高手,也很懂得世故人情,加上学者式的幽默感,《围城》是个可以常看常新的书,这一类书的作者并不真诚,存了心要编一个好玩的故事哄骗读者,骗你的笑,你的泪,你的感叹,然后,他在丛中大笑。文革那些年,不知道为何这么聪明的一个人,非要拒绝剑桥牛津...

评分##In a certain age, I did believe that marriage is like a fortress besiedged. I was the one outside, and still had enough curiosity left for marriage, I wanted to go in. Now I have none, and marriage to me, is like a war field constantly in turmoil. I decide to quit all my delusions left. BTW, the translation is as insipid as plain boiled water.
