夏濟安、夏志清昆仲,中國現代文學批評界的兩大巨擘,他們早年的求學生涯,既是東西方學術交織融匯的實例,又是民國和1949年後「大歷史」的親身見證。他們的往來書信經由志清先生鄭重珍藏,經夏志清太太王洞女士授權,蘇州大學季進教授註釋整理,首次向外界披露。本書分為四卷,收錄了1947年夏志清赴美求學到1965年夏濟安因病逝世的17年間,兄弟兩人的通信六百余封。在這些書信中,他們說家常、談感情、論文學、品電影、議時政,推心置腹,無話不談。我們可以看到夏志清如何從一位年輕的求學者,一步步成長為國際著名學者,也可以看到夏濟安如何流轉各地,為實現自己的理想抱負努力奮鬥的艱辛。 在滯留海外的歲月裡,夏氏兄弟在薄薄的航空信紙上以蠅頭小字寫下生活點滴、慾望心事,還有種種文學話題。這對兄弟志同道合,也是難得的平生知己。我們不禁想到西晉的陸機(261–303)、陸雲(262–303)兄弟俱有文才,嘗以書信談文論藝。千百年後,在另一個紊亂的歷史時空裡,夏氏兄弟以書信記錄生命的吉光片羽,兼論文藝,竟然饒有魏晉風雅。──王德威教授(哈佛大學東亞語言文化系) 人物介紹 夏志清(1921–2013) 江蘇吳縣(今蘇州市)人,生於上海浦東,中國文學評論家,教授。1946年9月隨長兄夏濟安至北京大學擔任助教,醉心於西歐古典文學,因研究威廉‧布萊克檔案(William Blake Archive)論文脫穎而出,取得留美獎學金至耶魯大學攻讀英文碩士、博士。在紐約州立學院任教時,獲得洛克菲勒基金會贊助,完成《中國現代小說史》一書,也奠定他學者評論家的地位。1961年任紐約哥倫比亞大學教席。2006年7月,當選台灣中央研究院院士。 夏濟安(1916–1965) 江蘇吳縣人。夏志清教授的兄長。上海光華大學英文系畢業,曾任教西南聯大、北京大學外語系和香港新亞書院。1950年赴台後任教於台灣大學外文系,為早期小說作家白先勇、歐陽子、王文興、陳若曦、葉維廉等人的啓蒙老師,1956年與吳魯芹、劉守宜等創辦《文學雜誌》並兼任主編, 在雜誌上主張「樸素的、清醒的、理智的」文學,與其弟夏志清對當代文學的貢獻十分深遠。1959年赴美,在西雅圖華盛頓大學、加州柏克萊大學作研究,主要工作是研究中國共產黨黨史。1965年2月23日因腦溢血病逝於美國奧克蘭。夏濟安的中文著作還有《夏濟安選集》、《現代英文選評註》等;英文著作有The Gate of Darkness,這是一本1949年以前左派文人的評論集。
香港就是文學:從海上孤島到世界都會,從帝國殖民地到社會主義特區,香港經驗比傳奇更傳奇。從駐節香港的殖民地大員,到心繫勞工大眾的左翼文學家;從求全責備的香港文學大系,到活潑精要的各式選本;從先鋒的現代詩、人間小說與話題電影,到蒼涼南音和悲情粵劇;從彌敦道上的詠嘆,到維多利亞港邊的回想……無數的香港故事,如何說? 作者為我們述說文學香港的前世今生,揭示香港對整個華人文化圈的意義,思考香港的未來。地區、中國、政治、殖民、現代性等等這些看起來如「三尺青鋒」般冷硬的議題,經作者娓娓道來,化為寫給香港的一部抒情史。
夏志清教授除了在中國現代文學領域的開創性貢獻而廣為人知外,在中國古典文學研究方面也展示出精深的造詣和卓越的眼光。本書介紹了從《三國演義》到《紅樓夢》等六本重要的小說作品,每一部都是中國白話文學五百年發展歷程中的標誌性著作,而在夏志清教授結合比較文學與新批評學術訓練的分析之下,處處飽含洞見,啓迪深思。問世五十年來,歷久彌新。對英文讀者而言,它已被證明是該研究領域內最優秀、最全面的入門指南。對中文世界的讀者來說,它也蘊藏着豐富的閱讀樂趣,是所有想要了解中國傳統小說傑作以及它們因何而特別的人士手中必不可少的一本書。
陳方正先生是我友人中一生在兩個文化(科學與人文)間遊走自如少有的現代知識人。他在哈佛、拔蘭大兩間學府修讀的專業是物理學,而他2009年出版七百頁的《繼承與叛逆》則是為余英時許為「體大思精」、「出色當行」的科學史之作。 方正1966年自美深造返港後即加入到新誕生的香港中文大學,自此與中大結緣半個世紀。在中大,他從物理系教學,到行政(1980年任秘書長),再到中國文化研究所(1986年任所長),2002年退休後續在文化所研究著述迄今。方正真正奮舞書寫是在他退休之後,蓋耳順之年,有感天地轉,光陰迫,亟亟於尋找安身立命之所,於是焚膏繼晷,「上窮碧落下黃泉,動手動腳找東西」,厚積「厚」發,遂有科學史傑作之問世。此後十年,講學不輟,書寫不止,先後有《在自由與平等之外》、《迎接美妙新世紀》等書之發表。《當時只道是尋常》(納蘭性德之名句)則是他最新之文集。 《當時只道是尋常》分為三輯,一曰用廬憶舊,二曰師友剪影,三曰景仰與追思。這三輯文字是陳方正以我觀己,以我觀人,以我觀世的著述。這是他對自己從青蔥少年到鬢髮飛霜臨老之年一生的心路歷程之書寫,也是他對中文大學半個世紀象牙塔內塔外的人與事之書寫。方正的三十六篇優美之作寫出了他的思想、情性與識見,也寫出了他的人生境界。 ──金耀基 陳方正博士跨越文理學科,所從事的學術與教育工作對香港中文大學的發展產生了舉足輕重的影響,他深具人文理想和反思精神,不斷思考如何在香港保存、支持和發揚中國文化。本書稿為其個人文集,內容包括作者的早歲經歷(戰亂童年、治學過程、大學工作等)、與師友的交往(如李卓敏、馬臨、余英時、楊振寧、高錕)、對友人的悼念(如何炳棣、劉殿爵、陳學霖、高華)等等。這些文字反映了作者那一代學者在時代洪流中的處境,透露出他本人對香港高等教育作出的巨大貢獻、對人情世故的洞明、對人文理想的堅持,以及對同行的理解和尊重。

夏濟安教授身兼文學評論家和翻譯家於一身,傳世作品不多但至今仍備受稱頌。The Gate of Darkness: Studies on the Leftist LiteraryMovement in China 固然是劃時代的傑作,先生翻譯功夫更是「獨步譯林」,本書即收入他親譯美國殖民時期至南北戰爭中重要作家的作品,如愛德華茲(Jonathan Edwards)、歐文(Washington Irving)、霍桑(Nathaniel Hawthorne)和梭羅(Henry David Thoreau)等。那時純粹的美國文學還沒成形,作品多見歐洲文學特色,讀者因此可一窺美國文學始創階段的面貌。再加上夏濟安先生譯著往往不見「譯痕」,本書雙語對照排版讓讀者更能細味先生功力。
Becoming a sinologist means deconstructing stereotypical notions of China’s rise in the twenty-first century. The sinologists in this volume actively think through and adapt to their particular historical contexts as they conduct their research. Positioned across various locations such as the Czech Republic, Mongolia, Poland, and Russia, these scholars use diverse approaches to map China’s modern evolution. Through the rediscovery of post-Communist sinology, the conclusions in this volume have major implications for the evolution of intellectual history and its analysis by emphasizing the importance of individualized agency to the practice of sinology.
夏濟安先生所著《黑暗的閘門》(The Gate of Darkness)自1968年英文版問世以來,便在英文世界產生極大影響,成為中國左翼文學研究領域一本劃時代的傑作。儘管該書部分篇章曾翻譯成中文並以單篇論文形式發表,遺憾的是此後近半個世紀之久,中文讀者始終無緣窺其全貌。此次中文大學出版社對英文版全書重新翻譯,增錄夏濟安先生另一篇相關的重要論文,並邀請翻譯學研究專家王宏志教授對譯稿全文審訂,首次推出這本經典著作的完整中文版。本書細緻梳理文學與時代政治的糾纏,深入揭示左翼文學運動的兩難境地。書中所論作家包括魯迅、蔣光慈、左聯五烈士以及瞿秋白等人,他們都是1949年以前共產黨理念的同情者乃至實踐者。在1960年代國際上反共仇共的大環境中,夏濟安下筆敏銳痛快而不失同情,充滿耐心,既給左翼作家及其作品一個恰當公允的評價,更為他們身上的悲劇意義而深深歎息。
本書收錄作者自八十年代以來曾對中國大陸文學和思想界產生重大影響的文章,全書以〈漫說「純文學」〉的爭論開篇,這篇文章是作者對八九十年代文學的反思,也是他思想轉向的綜合表達,由此帶出全書脈絡,如他自己所言,書中表現出兩個李陀。
2015年「國際詩人在香港」雙語對照詩集,輯錄了墨西哥當代最重要的女詩人布拉喬接近四十年來的代表作。 「卡柔.布拉喬是拉美新巴洛克詩潮的代表人物之一。在她的名字前加上國籍,或者在名字後列出一串詩歌獎項,都已無法說明她的詩在當代拉美詩壇上的影響力。新巴洛克詩人詩歌的語境進行了一場純粹的清潔運動,主張詩歌必須脫離政治光譜,以獲得更豐富的寫作空間。布拉喬的詩是一種對語言實質的觀照,其層疊深化的意象、錯綜轉折的音樂性、文繡奢綺的筆格,內化成詩人心裏繁複感性的細密畫,既考驗讀者的耐性,亦保證耐性必有回報。」——宋子江(嶺南大學人文學科研究中心研究統籌主任) 「香港中文大學從2010年秋天起,每年邀請兩位國際詩人來港訪問,逗留兩週左右。在詩人訪問之前,我們特邀有關專家主持工作坊,對詩人的作品進行導讀分析。在詩人訪問期間,舉辦多種形式的詩歌活動,包括朗誦會、專題研討會、與香港詩人及大中學生的座談會。我們為每位國際詩人出版一本雙語對照詩集。這套叢書具有經典性意義,對香港以至漢語世界會產生深遠影響。編選原則如下:一、第一流國際性詩人的代表作;二、深諳原文與詩歌的優秀譯者;三、母語與譯文的嚴格對照。」——北島(詩人)
《詩歌與衝突》是呼應香港國際詩歌之夜2015而出版的珍貴詩集,由北島、陳嘉恩、方梓勳、柯夏智、馬德松和宋子江所編,收錄了來自世界各地,摩洛哥、巴勒斯坦、法國、西班牙、馬其頓、美國、加拿大、南韓、日本、緬甸、澳洲、中國、台灣、香港等優秀當代詩人的作品,以雙語或三語呈現。 Following the convening of IPNHK 2015, Poetry and Conflict presents works by world-acclaimed poets from war-troubled countries in the past such as the United States (Anne Waldman, Peter Cole), Japan (Yoko Tawada, Noriko Mizuta), South Korea (Kim Hyesoon), Macedonia (Nikola Madzirov), Catalonia (Gemma Gorga), Portugal (Fernando Pinto do Amaral), Burma (ko ko thett), Morocco (Mohammed Bennis), China (Wang Xiaoni), Taiwan (Chen Li), Hong Kong (Lau Yee-ching), and those of today such as Israel (Agi Mishol) and Palestine (Ghassan Zaqtan, Najwan Darwish). The collection makes a treasured contemporary poetry anthology in trilingual or bilingual presentation.
