内容简介

The Bell Jar chronicles the breakdown of the brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful Esther Greenwood, a woman slowly going under -- maybe for the last time. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther's demise with such intensity that the character's insanity becomes completely real, even rational -- as probable and accessible an experience as going to the movies. Such deep penetration into the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche is an extraordinary accomplishment and has made The Bell Jar a haunting American classic.

作者简介

西尔维娅·普拉斯(1932—1963)，美国著名女诗人，小说家。诗集《庞然大物》、《爱丽尔》被认为是1960年代“自白派”诗歌的代表作。八岁那年父亲去世后，她便不断在诗中歌吟死亡，也曾多次试图自杀。1956年，与英国著名诗人特德·休斯一见钟情，闪电结婚。1962年两人分居。1963年她的自传体小说《钟形罩》出版三周后，她自杀身亡。普拉斯的诗歌是20世纪的一个奇迹，在她死后多年为她赢得了普利策诗歌奖。
