The fortieth anniversary reissue of the best-selling "tour de force" (Walter Allen, New York Times Book Review ).
Jean Rhys's reputation was made upon the publication of this passionate and heartbreaking novel, in which she brings into the light one of fiction's most mysterious characters: the madwoman in the attic from Charlotte Bront?'s Jane Eyre .
A sensual and protected young woman, Antoinette Cosway grows upin the lush natural world of the Caribbean. She is sold intomarriage to the coldhearted and prideful Rochester, who succumbsto his need for money and his lust. Yet he will make her pay forher ancestors' sins of slaveholding, excessive drinking, and nihilistic despair by enslaving her as a prisoner in his bleak English home.
In this best-selling novel Rhys portrays a society so driven by hatred, so skewed in its sexual relations, that it can literally drive a woman out of her mind.
作者简介
《简·爱》问世将近一个半世纪以来，世界各国到底有多少痴心的女读者在这个相貌平平、过早饱尝人生辛酸、但终末失去与生活搏斗勇气的简·爱身上找寻自己的影子，寄予同情，其人数当然无法统计，但肯定是大有人在。然而，若要问有多少女读者对简·爱追求幸福的苦难历程上的障碍——幽禁在顶楼上的疯女人感到一丝一毫同情，甚或对她产生一点儿好感的，那倒大概可以说为数不多吧。但就在为数不多的人中，却有一位对疯女人产生了浓烈的兴趣，她就是英国当代女作家简·里斯(Jean Rhys，1894—1979)。凭她对《简·爱》一书的深刻研究，对疯女人出生时代背景和社会环境——十九世纪英国在西半球的殖民地——的充分了解，再加自己对这一人物的理解和同情，经过多次修订再全部推翻重写的痛苦创作过程，终于完成定稿，并于1966年出版，书名《藻海无边》(Wide Sargasso Sea)，而且于同年获得英国皇家文学会奖，1967年又获W．H．史密斯奖，还被接纳为英国皇家文学会会员。
