关于此电子书
James Matthew Barrie's "The Complete Works" presents a comprehensive anthology of the Scottish playwright and author's oeuvre, encapsulating his whimsical yet poignant exploration of childhood, imagination, and the complexities of adult life. This collection features classics such as "Peter Pan," where the intersection of reality and fantasy invites readers to ponder the significance of innocence and the perils of growing up. Barrie's distinct literary style, characterized by lyrical prose and a theatrical flair, reflects the influence of the Edwardian literary context, where the tension between modernity and nostalgia shaped many creative expressions. Born in 1860 in Kirriemuir, Scotland, Barrie's journey from a humble background to becoming a prominent figure in London's literary scene is marked by personal loss and a fascination with the themes of escapism. His experiences, particularly the untimely death of his brother and his complex relationships with children, fueled his creative drive and informed the poignant social critiques evident in his works. Barrie's deep understanding of human emotions and his ability to capture the innocence of youth continue to resonate through his timeless tales. For readers seeking depth and insight into the human condition through a lens of fantasy, "The Complete Works" is an essential addition to any literary collection. Barrie's masterful storytelling and unique ability to evoke nostalgia make his works not only entertaining but also profoundly reflective, inviting readers of all ages to rediscover the joy and sorrow intertwined within their own lives.
作者简介
James Matthew Barrie, born on May 9, 1860, in Kirriemuir, Angus, Scotland, was a renowned playwright and novelist whose literary works have captivated audiences for over a century. Barrie studied at the University of Edinburgh and pursued a career in journalism before turning his attention to drama and fiction. He is most famous for creating the character Peter Pan, the boy who wouldn't grow up, which he introduced to the world in his 1904 play 'Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up' and later expanded upon in the novel 'Peter and Wendy' (1911). At the heart of Barrie's literary style is a unique blend of whimsy, nostalgia, and poignancy, which has been celebrated for its imaginative qualities and emotional depth. His works often explore themes of childhood innocence and the complexities of adult life. Barrie's contributions to literature extend beyond the Peter Pan stories, including notable plays such as 'Quality Street' (1901) and 'The Admirable Crichton' (1902), and novels like 'The Little White Bird' (1902), where readers first meet Peter Pan as a character. His tales have proved timeless, appealing to each new generation with their charm and fantasy elements. Barrie's literary legacy is preserved in 'The Complete Works of J.M. Barrie,' offering an extensive collection of his cherished writings. Knighted in 1913 for his contributions to literature, his influence on the literary world endures to this day. Barrie passed away on June 19, 1937, but left behind a wealth of stories that continue to inspire and delight.
