金色笔记 – The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing

这是一本“自由女性”安娜的成长纪录，由一个故事、五本笔记构成。

黑、红、黄、蓝四色笔记，一个不安灵魂的四道反光：黑色代表她的作家生活，红色代表政治生活，黄色代表爱情生活，蓝色代表精神生活。而金色笔记，则是一种哲理的表述，一个生活的总结。它的多彩反映着主人公迷乱失重的灵魂。

通过这部“跨国度的百科全书”，莱辛图解了整个表面平平淡淡，骨子里混乱无序的世界。每部分之间依次插入黑、红、黄、蓝四种笔记，涉及殖民主义、种族主义与男女间的爱情，兼具感性与知性。

诺贝尔文学奖颁奖词称《金色笔记》为“一部先锋作品，是二十世纪审视男女关系的巅峰之作”。

One of the most important books of the growing feminist movement of the 1950s, The Golden Notebook was brought to the attention of a wider public by the Nobel Prize award to Doris Lessing in 2007.

Author Anna Wulf attempts to overcome writer’s block by writing a comprehensive “golden notebook” that draws together the preoccupations of her life, each of which is examined in a different notebook: sources of her creative inspiration in a black book, communism in a red book, the breakdown of her marriage in a yellow book, and day-to-day emotions and dreams in a blue book. Anna’s struggle to unify the various strands of her life – emotional, political, and professional – amasses into a fascinating encyclopaedia of female experience in the ‘50s.

In this authentic, taboo-breaking novel, Lessing brings the plight of women’s lives from obscurity behind closed doors into broad daylight. The Golden Notebook resonates with the concerns and experiences of a great many women and is a true modern classic, thoroughly deserving of its reputation as a feminist bible. A notoriously long and complex work, it is given a new life by this – its first unabridged recording.
