林语堂的作品如同他的一生,孜孜地向世界解说中国,向祖国表达赤忱。 作为用英语创作的一位中国作家,他向西方介绍中国文化的系列作品影响深远,被视作阐述东方思想的重要著述。 此次结集的“林语堂英文作品集”,除保留外研社曾出版的《吾国与吾民》、《生活的艺术》、《浮生六记》和《京华烟云》等代表作品外,还收录了《风声鹤唳》、《老子的智慧》和《武则天传》等十余部颇具影响的原版著作。 如此规模的林语堂英文作品在国内出版尚属首次,包括其中几种是首次以英文原貌在国内面世,极富收藏价值。此外,为了更好地介绍和呈现林语堂及其作品,还从台北林语堂故居和漳州林语堂纪念馆等地采集珍贵图片,如林语堂生平不同时期的独照、与亲友的合影、部分手稿和初版封面的存照等,以飨读者。
The Dictionary, which Father called the crowning achievement
of hiscareer, was published in October 1972 with great fanfare. It
was the firstChinese-English dictionary ever compiled by a Chinese
scholar. The New TorkTimes hailed it as "a milestone in
communication between the worlds largestlinguistic groups."
On his 8oth birthday, October 10, 1975, friends in Hong Kong
organizeda big celebration. An even bigger celebration was
organized in Taipei. WhenI met my parents at the Hong Kong airport
upon their return, Fathers eyesshone with gladness. His cup was
full. The only honor that he wanted and hadnot received was the
Nobel Prize. But he was his philosophical self about it. "Letus be
reasonable," he once said. "We must have an attitude of expecting
neithertoo much nor too little from life."
Father passed away in Hong Kong on March 26 the following year.
Amongthe many tributes he received was one by the Readers Digests
founder, DeWittWallace. Wallace published a memorial booklet of
Fathers writing that hadappeared over the years in the magazine. It
was dedicated to the memory of "anevocative spirit of vast range
and accomplishment——this man for all cultureswho so enriched our
lives. He considered his dictionary to be the crown of hiscareer.
To anyone who reads his works, it will be apparent that Lin
Yutangscrown had many jewels in it."
The United Daily News of Taiwan compared Fathers achievements
inintroducing Chinese culture to the West with that of Jesuit
missionary MatteoRicci. In an editorial, the China Times of Taiwan
said, "Dr. Lin is the scholarand writer who possibly made the
greatest contribution in promoting Chineseculture internationally
in the recent 100 years. For some in the West whowere not
well-informed, they heard about Lin Yutang before they heard
aboutChina, and heard about China before they heard about the glory
of Chinesecivilization."
