野草在歌唱 – The Grass Is Singing by Doris Lessing

《野草在歌唱》是诺贝尔文学奖得主莱辛的成名作。玛丽是南部非洲土生土长的白人，婚后生活并不如意，农场经营惨淡，家中一贫如洗，精神无所寄托。黑人雇工摩西的闯入打破了她麻木混沌的生活，使她有了新的生存力量。然而种族歧视的烙印深深地打在南部非洲每个人的身上，注定了他们所面临的必将是悲剧。

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.
