具體描述
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.

##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.
評分##Kelly譯的也是讓人迷醉，把Chien那麼油的半文半白的東西完全做成大白話...可惜瞭一部算是精品的華語小說瞭
