《長腿叔叔》 是英國 ·薩默賽特·毛姆創(chuàng)作的長篇小說被譽(yù)為毛姆的代表作之一。小說以主人公pip為視角通過他的成長經(jīng)歷展現(xiàn)了20世紀(jì)英國社會(huì)的種種面貌。
小說的主要情節(jié)發(fā)生在19世紀(jì)60年代的英國主人公pip是一個(gè)孤兒被送到了一個(gè)寄宿家庭。這個(gè)家庭由長腿叔叔即pip的監(jiān)護(hù)人macchiato管理。pip在這個(gè)家庭中經(jīng)歷了許多苦難但他通過和家庭成員的互動(dòng)逐漸了解了英國社會(huì)的種種不公和不平等。 小說中有許多精彩的好詞好句例如: It is a fact that the world is a great big house and we are all its children or rather some of us are and some of us are not The only way to be a man is to know that you are not a man and to feel that you are a man I was not always happy but I knew that I was good And I knew that I wanted to be good There is no such thing as a black and white world There are only灰色地帶s I don't want to be rich I want to be happy The world is not a place where you can find happiness It is a place where you can make yourself happy You can't solve problems with money I don't care if you are a man of means As long as you are a human being 這些句子都充滿了智慧和深刻的思考是小說中的亮點(diǎn)之一。 讀完 《長腿叔叔》 后我深受啟發(fā)。小說中展現(xiàn)的社會(huì)問題和人性探討都讓我深深地思考。雖然主人公pip在小說中是一個(gè)虛構(gòu)的人物但他所反映的社會(huì)問題卻是真實(shí)存在的我們每個(gè)人都可以從中受到啟發(fā)。
