有点像詹姆斯·乔伊斯的经典《尤利西斯》,这本书融合了历史元素、自由联想以及无法回答的问题,展现了主角的生活。莫里森以自杀和在密歇根大学医院出生的黑人小孩开始,探讨了复杂角色的黑人家庭生活、遗产以及可能的未来。
"Self-Reliance" by Ralph Waldo Emerson
拉尔夫·瓦尔多·爱默生《自立》
Although essays aren't as popular as when Emerson was alive in the mid-1800's, this essay has become one of the author's most notable achievements.Emerson's philosophy as expressed in “Self-Reliance embraced a combination of non-conformity to social trends. Also a great believer in the 'light within', Emerson gives continual nods to a divine Providence while holding fast to man's inherent goodness, and the necessity of holding to one's own convictions despite the inclinations and pressures of the crowd.
尽管这些散文不像19世纪中叶爱默生活着时那么流行,但是这部散文是作者最辉煌的成就之一。如《自立》中表达的那样,爱默生的哲学将非整合融入到了社会趋势中。他也是‘灵性之光’的虔诚信徒,尽管面临压力,他仍坚信神圣天意掌管了人性固有的闪亮,以及坚定自己的信念。
