編輯推薦: It has been said that one can see farther only by standing on the shoulders of giants.
Ahab's Wife Sena Naslund's epic work of historical fiction honors that aphorism using Herman Melville's
as looking glass into early-19th-century America. Through the eye of an outsider a woman she suggests that New England life was broader and richer than Melville's manly world of men ships and whales. This ambitious novel pays tribute to Melville creating heroines from his lesser characters and to America's literary heritage in general.
內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介:A magnificent, vast, and enthralling saga, Sena Jeter Naslund's Ahab's Wife is a remarkable epic spanning a rich, eventful, and dramatic life. Inspired by a brief passage in Moby Dick, it is the story of Una, exiled as a child to live in a lighthouse, removed from the physical and emotional abuse of a religion-mad father. It is the romantic adventure of a young woman setting sail in a cabin boy's disguise to encounter darkness, wonder, and catastrophe; the story of a devoted wife who witnesses her husband's destruction by obsession and madness. Ultimately it is the powerful and moving story of a woman's triumph over tragedy and loss through her courage, creativity, and intelligence.
作者簡(jiǎn)介:A native of Birmingham, Alabama, Sena Jeter Naslund is Distinguished Teaching Professor and Writer in Residence at the University of Louisville; program director of the Spalding University brief-residency MFA in Writing. A winner of the Harper Lee Award for Distinguished Writers, she is the author of seven previous works of fiction.
