魯迅的《唐宋傳奇集》是唐宋傳奇小說最權威的選本,在華人世界流傳極廣,可是一直沒有英文本傳世。
經過一個充滿活力的團隊---近30位漢學家的將近兩年的努力,第一部英譯本【英漢雙語】《唐宋傳奇集》(由美國著名漢學家、賓夕法尼亞大學教授梅維恒與本博聯合主編)已由新加坡世界科學出版社出版。
美國漢學界給予此書相當高的評價。下麵是幾段評語及譯文:
這是魯迅《唐宋傳奇集》的第一個英譯本。魯迅的選集是一部具有裏程碑意義的選集,不僅因為它代表了這種來自中世紀中國的寫作,而且是20世紀中國人對中國傳統“小說”態度的裏程碑。魯迅的選集目前仍然被廣泛閱讀。 ——羅納德·伊根,斯坦福大學教授
This is the first English translation of Lu Xun's seminal anthology of Tang and Song period stories. The selection Lu Xun put together is a landmark anthology, important not only for its representation of this kind of writing from medieval China but also as a milestone in twentieth-century attitudes towards traditional Chinese "fiction." Lu Xun's anthology is now still widely read. ––Ronald Egan, Stanford University
魯迅的《唐宋傳奇集》開創了近代中國中世紀小說研究的先河。大師的學術分析、曆史感悟和審美情趣,賦予了這種古代文體一種連古人都聞所未聞的非凡魅力。以魯迅的經典著作為基礎,梅維恒和張振鈞以英譯方式呈現了一部非凡的唐宋故事集。讀者將在其中發現各種各樣的故事,從奇幻的到曆史的、從俠義的到傳奇的。對於任何對中國和世界文學感興趣的人來說,這都是一個絕妙的讀本。 ——王德威,哈佛大學教授
Lu Xun’s Tang Song chuanqi ji pioneered the study of medieval Chinese narratives in the modern era. The master’s scholarly analysis, historical sensibility, and aesthetic taste provided the ancient genre an extraordinary glamour unknown even to the ancients. Based on Lu Xun’s canonical work, Victor Mair and Zhenjun Zhang have presented a remarkable collection of Tang and Song tales in English translation. Readers will find in it a wide spectrum of tales, from the fantastic to the historical and the chivalric to the legendary. This is a marvelous reader for anyone interested in Chinese and world literature. ––David Wang, Harvard University
憑借這本短篇古文小說集,魯迅為他和後代的中國現代讀者有效地確認了唐宋散文敘事的經典地位。但許多後來的學者和譯者隻關注其中的幾個故事,而忽略了其餘的故事。現在,在魯迅的原著出版近一個世紀之後,這部將文本、翻譯和注釋合而為一的書,將保證《唐宋傳奇集》向世界各地的新一代學生和比較研究者介紹當時的作家所進行的敘事實驗,正如魯迅所期望的那樣。 ——羅伯特·黑格,華盛頓大學教授
With this collection of short classical language fiction, Lu Xun effectively defined the canonical Tang and Song prose narratives for his and subsequent generations of modern Chinese readers. But many later scholars and translators have concentrated on only a few of these stories, leaving the rest virtually ignored. Now, nearly a century after Lu Xun’s original publication, this combination of text, translation, and explanatory notes all in one volume will guarantee that Anthology of Tang and Song Tales will introduce new generations of students and comparatists around the world to the range of narrative experimentation carried out by the writers of those centuries, as Lu Xun would have intended. ––Robert E. Hegel, Washington University, St. Louis

多謝多謝! 我會推薦圖書館購買新書。 已經記下書名了。
同時有點好奇,新加坡世界科學出版社出版華文書嗎? 科技類的?
