Ramona 蕾蒙娜 簡介，目錄書摘
《蕾蒙娜》是第一部正面描寫印第安人的作品，作者懷著對印第安人的極大同情，塑造了具有印第安人血統(tǒng)的混血兒蕾蒙娜和勤勞勇敢、英俊豪放的印第安剪毛手亞歷山德羅的形象。由于故事真實可信，情節(jié)生動曲折，引人入勝，催人淚下，所以一出版即引起轟動，作者也因此成名。
Helen Hunt Jackson was a woman ahead of her time. Born Helen Fiske in 1830 in Massachusetts, Hunt-Jackson was a novelist who questioned the actions of the American government in regards to the Native Americans.
Helen authored two books,"Ramona," (1884), a novel about a white man's mistreatment of the Native Indians,"Century of Dishonor" (1881), a groundbreaking work that documented the government's violations of Indian treaties and its disregard for their human rights.
Helen's publications were among the first documentaries that advocated for indigenous people and criticized "white men" and those involved in corruption at American Indians' expense.
Hunt-Jackson also spent countless hours lecturing about the true history – and current plight – of the Native people. And she petitioned for laws and rights on their behalf.
Although her work caused a national uproar, continued to champion her cause and challenge those who opposed her -- including President Theodore Roosevelt.
Today Helen-Hunt's revolutionary and enlightened work is still reprinted, read and discussed by people across the country.
海倫·亨特·杰克遜（Helen Hunt Jackson，1830—1885）是位多產(chǎn)的女作家，主要以同情印第安人、維護(hù)印第安人利益的作品為人們喜愛。1881年她發(fā)表《世紀(jì)的恥辱》一文，揭露美國政府虐待印第安人，引起較大反響，后被委任為美國政府特派員，專門調(diào)查加利福尼亞印第安人的生活狀況，為她創(chuàng)作《蕾蒙娜》一書積累了豐富的素材。這是第一部正面描寫印第安人的作品，作者懷著對印第安人的極大同情，塑造了具有印第安人血統(tǒng)的混血兒蕾蒙娜和勤勞勇敢、英俊豪放的印第安剪毛手亞歷山德羅的形象。由于故事真實可信，情節(jié)生動曲折，引人入勝，催人淚下，所以一出版即引起轟動，作者也因此成名。本書自1884年問世以來，已重印一百多次，三次搬上銀幕，舞臺上也久演不衰，成為美國文學(xué)中的“經(jīng)典作品”，“最具魅力的現(xiàn)代小說”。杰克遜才思敏捷，文筆流暢，作品還有長篇小說《黔西·菲爾伯利克的選擇》，《海蒂的奇怪歷史》，詩歌《十四行詩和抒情詩》，以及一些游記和兒童讀物。
