摘要
多年以前,偶然得到一本小书——美国女作家薇拉·凯瑟(Willa Cather)的《啊,拓荒者》(D,Pioneers!),一下子被它那特有的魅力吸引住了,不忍释手,一口气读完,感到一种不寻常的美的享受。后来又因偶然的机缘,应外国文学出版社之约,把这本小书译出来,以飨中国读者。现在听说这本小书又要再版作为供青年阅读的佳作选,我想是十分值得的。
Simplicity, honesty, deepness and loftiness are the qualities in O, Pioneers discovered by the reviewer (also the Chinese translator of the book) through a unique perspective. These qualities come from a deeply-felt love of the land and the tenacious will to fightthe nature. The heroine is the personification of these qualities, and her peioneering spirit is the cream of American culture
