  • 應許之地

    The Promised Land

    de Mary Antin, 瑪麗・安亭 ...
    《應許之地》是瑪麗・安亭一九一二年出版的自傳，記述她從俄國猶太柵欄區的小城波洛茨克移居美國波士頓的前半生。全書分成兩半：前九章寫舊世界——沙皇治下猶太人被圈禁在柵欄區內的日常、赫德爾與猶太會堂的宗教生活、逾越節前夕流傳的大屠殺傳聞、四十年兵役的恐懼、媒人與嫁妝、父母的婚姻與家道中落，以及橫渡大西洋的移民船；後十一章寫新世界——波士頓貧民窟的租屋、免費公立學校帶來的震撼、圖書館與博物學社，以及一個女孩用四個月學會英文、進而在報刊發表作品的過程。 作者以「我出生過，我活過，我也被重塑過」開篇，宣告書中那個女孩已與此刻寫作的自己徹底隔絕，因而能用近乎第三人稱的距離剖析她。這使全書既是熱切的美國頌歌，也是對移民代價的誠實記錄：姊姊被送進裁縫廠做工，好讓妹妹去上學；父親滿腹經書，在新大陸卻謀生無門。安亭寫波洛茨克的童年時筆調濃烈而具體——市場、公共澡堂、德維納河的浮冰、安息日夜晚的起司蛋糕 ...
