Books like Wei cheng by Qian, Zhongshu

Name: Wei cheng
Rating: 5 (1 reviews)
Author: Qian, Zhongshu

《围城》是钱钟书所著的长篇小说。第一版于1947年由上海晨光出版公司出版。1949年之后，由于政治等方面的原因，本书长期无法在中国大陆和台湾重印，仅在香港出现过盗印本。1980年由作者重新修订之后，在中国大陆地区由人民文学出版社刊印。此后作者又曾小幅修改过几次。《围城》自从出版以来，就受到许多人的推崇。由于1949年后长期无法重印，这本书逐渐淡出人们的视野。1960年代，旅美汉学家夏志清在《中国现代小说史》(A History of Modern Chinese Fiction)中对本书作出很高的评价，这才重新引起人们对它的关注。人们对它的评价一般集中在两方面，幽默的语言和对生活深刻的观察。从1990年代开始，也有人提出对本书的不同看法，认为这是一部被“拔高”的小说，并不是一部出色的作品。很多人认为这是一部幽默作品。除了各具特色的人物语言之外，作者夹叙其间的文字也显着机智与幽默。这是本书的一大特色。也有人认为这是作者卖弄文字，语言显得尖酸刻薄。但这一说法并不为大多数人接受。
