前言

要深入地了解一个民族、一种文化，不能只注意那些五光十色的报纸、杂志、广播、电视和互联网，而必须读他们的文学作品。正是在文学作品里，可以得到比表面现象要深刻得多的东西：这个民族真正的思想、感情、性格甚至灵魂。文学作品是一个民族骨子深处的反映，是一个民族历史的凝聚，是一种博大深厚文化的永恒载体。可是随着现代生活节奏的加快，人们已经很少能够捧起大部头的长篇文学作品来读了，短篇小说正好可以满足快节奏的现代人阅读文学作品的这一需求。短篇小说在现、当代文学中占有越来越重要的地位。它以篇幅短小、形式活泼、主题突出、及时鲜明地反映生活的各个侧面而见长。英国女作家伊丽莎白?包温有一句名言：“短篇小说必备的第一个条件是它的迫切性，这就是说，故事之所以发生，是因为作者获得一种印象或有切肤之感，觉得非写下来不可，至于采取什么形式，则可多种多样，只要它有内在统一性就可以了。”在这个松散的定义中，她实际上点出了短篇小说作为一种独立的艺术形式的根本特点，即它的灵活性。这是一种最有弹性、最灵活的艺术形式。它可以没有人物，没有情节，没有对话，而只是瞬间的感觉和印象；它可以写感情，也可以全然不动感情；可以是戏剧性的，也可以是印象派或诗意的；它可以是嘲讽的、哲理的、幽默的，也可以是悲切忧伤的。

章节摘录

WHOEVER has made a voyage up the Hudsona must remember the Kaatskill Mountains2. They are a dismembered branch of the great Appalachian family3 ,and are seenaway to the west of the river,swelling up to a noble height,and lording it over the sur rounding country. Every change of season, every change of weather, indeed, every hour of the day,produces some change in the magical hues and shapes of these mountains,and they are regarded by all the good wives,far and near,as perfect barometers. When the weather is fair and settled,they are clothed in blue and purple,and print their bold outlines on the clear evening sky; but sometimes, when the rest of the landscape is cloudless, they willgather a hood of gray vapors about their summits, which, in the last rays of the setting sun,will glow and light up like a crown of glory.At the foot of these fairy mountains the voyager may have descried the light smokecurling up from a village whose shingle roofs gleam among the trees,just where the bluetints of the upland melt away into the fresh green of the nearer landscape. It is a little villageof great antiquity, having been founded by some of the Dutch colonists, in the earlytimes of the province, just about the beginning of the government of the good Peter StuyvesanP (may he rest in peace! ),and there were some of the houses of the original settiers standing within a few years,built of small yellow bricks brought from Holland, havinglatticed windows and gable fronts,surmounted with weathercocks.
