JOHN OSBORNE(ISBN=9780375702952) 英文原版 网盘下载 pdf 免费 2025 在线 epub 电子版

　　John Osborne, the original Angry Young Man, shocked and

transformed British theater in the 1950s with his play Look Back in

Anger. This startling biography–the first to draw on the secret

notebooks in which he recorded his anguish and depression–reveals

the notorious rebel in all his heartrending complexity.

Through a working-class childhood and five marriages, Osborne led

a tumultuous life. An impossible father, he threw his teenage

daughter out of the house and never spoke to her again. His last

written words were "I have sinned." Theater critic John Heilpern’s

detailed portrait, including interviews with Osborne's daughter,

scores of friends and enemies, and his alleged male lover, shows us

a contradictory genius–an ogre with charm, a radical who hated

change, and above all, a defiant individualist.

媒体评论

　　“Miraculous. . . . A model of what a literary biography ought

to be. . . . The Osborne who emerges from these pages is a

character of almost Shakespearean dimensions, grand as Falstaff,

volatile as Hamlet, mad as Lear.” —

The Philadelphia

Inquirer

"A terrific story. . . . An appealing, rollicking

portrait. . . . The best literary biography I have read in a long

time." —Harold Evans,

The Wall Street Journal

"I cannot

recall a biography that was so amusing and intense. . . . If there

is going to be a better-written, more entertaining, or more sharply

observed performance this year, I'll be mighty surprised." —Carl

Rollyson,

The New York Sun
