LIFE OF DAVID, THE(ISBN=9780805211535) 英文原版 下载 mobi 免费 pdf 百度网盘 epub 2025 在线 电子书

　　Poet, warrior, and king, David has loomed large in myth and

legend through the centuries, and he continues to haunt our

collective imagination, his flaws and inconsistencies making him

the most approachable of biblical heroes. Robert Pinsky, former

poet laureate of the United States, plumbs the depths of David’s

life: his triumphs and his failures, his charm and his cruelty, his

divine destiny and his human humiliations. Drawing on the biblical

chronicle of David’s life as well as on the later commentaries and

the Psalms——traditionally considered to be David’s own

words——Pinsky teases apart the many strands of David’s story and

reweaves them into a glorious narrative.

Under the clarifying and captivating light of Pinsky’s

erudition and imagination, and his mastery of image and expression,

King David——both the man and the idea of the man——is brought

brilliantly to life.

媒体评论

　　"Episode by episode, Pinsky braids narrative together with

literary interpretation and psychological conjecture, drawing out

patterns of correspondence, filling gaps in the record with acutely

engaged speculation. Bypassing the accretions of thirty centuries

of piety and veneration, peering behind the Bible's spare record of

action and speech, Pinsky seeks to discern the feelings and

intentions of the living person from whom the myth of David

sprang."

　　--William Deresiewicz, The New York Times Book Review

　　"A tour de force of literary imagination, strengthened with

the author's wisdom and compassion. A truly amazing book."

　　--Ha Jin, author of Waiting

　　"A note-perfect performance, with all the generosity,

understatement, and burnished eloquence familiar to readers of

Pinsky's poems, translations, and essays. Only a true poet would be

fit to tackle a subject of such centrality and deep fascination.

Pinsky guides us through David's art and life in a luminous,

moving, and compulsively readable narrative,"

　　--Tony Kushner, author of Angels in America

　　"Pinsky's unique blend of imagination, intellect, and

narrative cunning has enabled him to conjure an unforgettable

portrait. He has at once unraveled and created a figure of mythic

power. A brilliant achievement."

　　--Stephen Greenblatt, author of Will in the World: How

Shakespeare Became Shakespeare
