內容簡介
William Stoner is born at the end of the nineteenth century into a dirt-poor Missouri farming family. Sent to the state university to study agronomy, he instead falls in love with English literature and embraces a scholar's life, so different from the hardscrabble existence he has known. And yet as the years pass, Stoner encounters a succession of disappointments: marriage into a "proper" family estranges him from his parents; his career is stymied; his wife and daughter turn coldly away from him; a transforming experience of new love ends under threat of scandal. Driven ever deeper within himself, Stoner rediscovers the stoic silence of his forebears and confronts an essential solitude. John Williams's luminous and deeply moving novel is a work of quiet perfection. William Stoner emerges from it not only as an archetypal American, but as an unlikely existential hero, standing, like a figure in a painting by Edward Hopper, in stark relief against an unforgiving world.

買瞭兩本英文版,送給好友一本。很好看的書,雖然沒有驚心動魄的情節,隻是斯通納有點平淡無奇的一生,但何嘗不是我們自己的一生。我們大多數人日復一日過著重復單調的生活,經常感覺茫然失措,不知前路在何方,很多時候,隻是試圖在平淡乏味的生活中找到些微的意義。正是這些微小的生活意義,促使我們認真地活下去。
