你好,我叫 Finn,我来帮你读懂这本书。
来了,像给10岁的你讲的那样:
犹大·本-赫尔是罗马占领下的犹太王子,被儿时好友梅萨拉出卖,被送去当划船奴隶等死。他活了下来,带着财富和为复仇而硬化的心归来,参加了文学史上最著名的战车比赛,而在背景中,一个来自拿撒勒的木匠之子正在改变世界。这是一个复仇的故事,慢慢变成了一个宽恕的故事。
整本书用英文阅读。这里是所有章节:
“But this repetition of the old story is just the fairest charm of domestic discourse. If we can often repeat to ourselves sweet thoughts without ennui, why shall not another be suffered to awaken them within us still oftener.”
Jean Paul F. Richter, Hesperus
“See how from far upon the eastern road
The star-led wizards haste with odours sweet
⋮
But peaceful was the night
Wherein the Prince of Light
His reign of peace upon the earth began;
The winds with wonder whist
Smoothly the waters kist,
Whispering new joys to the mild ocean—
Who now hath quite forgot to rave,
While birds of calm sit brooding on the charmed wave.”
Milton, “The Hymn” from “On the Morning of Christ’s Nativity”
