選擇作品：A Day’s Wait??by Ernest Hemingway

????“文壇巨匠海明威的著名小說，冰山理論的集成之作，硬漢精神的全新維度?！?/p>

????“絕望之中的勇氣，重壓之下的優(yōu)雅?！?/p>

?????《一天的等待》圍繞著一個簡單的誤會展開，講述了一個九歲的男孩在寒冷的冬日患上流感，因為不懂得攝氏度和華氏度的區(qū)別，在誤以為自己即將發(fā)燒死去的復雜心情中度過了一整天的故事。小說以其簡明精煉的語言風格，從孩子的視角展示了海明威作品一貫的主題——在命定的失敗和厄運面前能夠保持人的尊嚴,在重壓下表現(xiàn)出勇氣和優(yōu)雅風度,平靜而堅定地接受自己的命運,內心的信念也從未因此而喪失。
