在谈到一本影响了自己的书时,E.M.福斯特回顾了自己五十年的读书生涯,推举但丁《神曲》、吉本《罗马帝国兴亡史》和托尔斯泰《战争与和平》为最伟大的三部著作。他爽利地表示,虽然三部书如同三座雄伟的纪念碑,但他并未受过它们的影响,尽管他在阅读这些书的时候正是最容易受影响的年龄。在福斯特看来,“这三部书太雄伟巨大了,人们不容易受纪念碑的影响,他们只是略一注目,赞叹,然后还是我行我素”。沿着福斯特 When talking about an influential book, EM Forster reviewed his 50-year study career, recommended Dante’s Divine Comedy, Gibbon’s Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, and Tolstoy’s War and Peace. For the greatest three books. He readily claimed that although the three books resembled three majestic monuments, he had not been influenced by them, though he was the most vulnerable age in reading these books. In Foster’s view, “these three books are too majestic, and people are not easily influenced by the monuments. They are only a little notice, praise, and then go their own way.” Follow Forster
