中國的智慧

內容概要

　　林語堂的作品如同他的一生，孜孜地向世界解說中國，向祖國表達赤忱。作為用英語創(chuàng)作的一位中國作家，他向西方介紹中國文化的系列作品影響深遠，被視作闡述東方思想的重要著述。此次結集的“林語堂英文作品集”，除保留外研社曾出版的《吾國與吾民》、《生活的藝術》、《浮生六記》和《京華煙云》等代表作品外，還收錄了《風聲鶴唳》、《老子的智慧》和《武則天傳》等十余部頗具影響的原版著作。如此規(guī)模的林語堂英文作品在國內出版尚屬首次，包括其中幾種是首次以英文原貌在國內面世，極富收藏價值。此外，為了更好地介紹和呈現(xiàn)林語堂及其作品，還從臺北林語堂故居和漳州林語堂紀念館等地采集珍貴圖片，如林語堂生平不同時期的獨照、與親友的合影、部分手稿和初版封面的存照等，以饗讀者。

章節(jié)摘錄

The Dictionary, which Father called the crowning achievement of hiscareer, was published in October 1972 with great fanfare. It was the firstChinese-English dictionary ever compiled by a Chinese scholar. The New TorkTimes hailed it as "a milestone in communication between the world's largestlinguistic groups."On his 8oth birthday, October 10, 1975, friends in Hong Kong organizeda big celebration. An even bigger celebration was organized in Taipei. WhenI met my parents at the Hong Kong airport upon their return, Father's eyesshone with gladness. His cup was full. The only honor that he wanted and hadnot received was the Nobel Prize. But he was his philosophical self about it. "Letus be reasonable," he once said. "We must have an attitude of expecting neithertoo much nor too little from life."Father passed away in Hong Kong on March 26 the following year. Amongthe many tributes he received was one by the Reader's Digest's founder, DeWittWallace. Wallace published a memorial booklet of Father's writing that hadappeared over the years in the magazine. It was dedicated to the memory of "anevocative spirit of vast range and accomplishment——this man for all cultureswho so enriched our lives. He considered his dictionary to be the 'crown' of hiscareer. To anyone who reads his works, it will be apparent that Lin Yutang'scrown had many jewels in it."The United Daily News of Taiwan compared Father's achievements inintroducing Chinese culture to the West with that of Jesuit missionary MatteoRicci. In an editorial, the China Times of Taiwan said, "Dr. Lin is the scholarand writer who possibly made the greatest contribution in promoting Chineseculture internationally in the recent 100 years. For some in the West whowere not well-informed, they heard about Lin Yutang before they heard aboutChina, and heard about China before they heard about the glory of Chinesecivilization."
