内容简介
"What I fear most, I think, is the death of the imagination.... If I sit still and don't do anything, the world goes on beating like a slack drum, without meaning. We must be moving, working, making dreams to run toward; the poverty of life without dreams is too horrible to imagine."
Renowned for her poetry, Sylvia Plath was also a brilliant writer of prose. This collection of short stories, essays, and diary excerpts highlights her fierce concentration on craft, the vitality of her intelligence, and the yearnings of her imaginaton. Featuring an introduction by Plath's husband, the late British poet Ted Hughes, these writings also reflect themes and images she would fully realize in her poetry. Jonny Panic and the Bible of Dreams truly showcases the talent and genius of Sylvia Plath.
作者简介
西尔维娅?普拉斯 Sylvia Plath 1932-1963
继艾米莉?狄金森、伊丽莎白?毕肖普之后最重要的女诗人，美国自白派诗人的代表，同时她也是一位出色的小说家。曾获普利策文学奖。
她曾四次自杀，1963年她最后一次自杀成功时，年仅31岁。这位颇受争议的女作家因其富于激情和创造力的重要诗篇留名于世，又因其与另一位英国诗人休斯情感变故而自杀的戏剧化人生，成为英美文学界一个经久不衰的话题。其代表作有《巨人及其他诗歌》，自传体长篇小说《钟形罩》以及短篇小说集《约翰尼?派尼克与梦经》。
