"Thwackum was for doing justice, and leaving mercy to heaven."
--from THE HISTORY OF TOM JONES, A FOUNDLING (1749)




One of the first and most influential of English novels, Henry Fielding’s Tom Jones—published in 1749—is blessed with a lively and endearing hero at the center of one of the most ingeniously constructed comic plots in fiction. Tom Jones, a foundling brought up in the household of the benevolent Squire Allworthy, falls in love with the beautiful heiress Sophia Western, whose father forbids them to marry on grounds of Tom’s low birth. Tom is a lusty, high-spirited yet good-hearted soul, and after he is banished by his guardian for youthful misbehavior he heads to London to make his own fortune, with the smitten Sophia in pursuit. A series of bawdy escapades and assorted scrapes ensues, including a duel and a stint in prison, before the mystery of Tom’s birth is unraveled. Fielding used all the dramatic skill he had amassed as a successful playwright for the London stage to tell this hugely entertaining story of a flawed but generous hero claiming his true identity and his true love.

Dec. 24: William Makepeace Thackeray, 天聲人語 耶路撒冷與威脅

天聲人語 耶路撒冷與威脅 January 7, 2018 位於約旦河西岸的巴勒斯坦自治區雷馬拉(Ramallah)近郊。巴勒斯坦的年輕人們在此進行大規模的抗議活動,除了燃燒輪胎等,也與以色列治安當局發生衝突=攝於2017年12月7日(渡邊丘)   這是發生在2009年、村上春樹獲頒以色列文學獎「耶路撒冷獎」時的事情。據了解,當時有許多人勸阻他「別出席頒獎典禮」。以色列軍隊的攻擊日益加劇,許多巴勒斯坦人民為此喪失性命。若領取這個獎項,恐怕相當於認同以色列的軍事活動。   即便如此,村上還是遠赴參加,並在演講中批評以色列。他在演講中提到:「假設有高聳的牆壁,以及擲牆破碎的雞蛋,我永遠會站在雞蛋那方。」顯而易見,所謂的雞蛋,指的是遭武力摧毀、燒毀的人民;而牆壁指的則是以色列軍方。   以色列於1948年宣布建國以來,有70萬名巴勒斯坦人逃離家鄉成了難民。而背離悲劇的一方,選擇站在堅固高牆那方的,便是川普總統的態度。   川普總統將猶太教及伊斯蘭教的聖地耶路撒冷,承認為以色列首都。甚至威脅表示,將可能對在聯合國決議中譴責此舉的國家中止援助。即使是商業貿易也過於無情。別說是為了調停中東和平,不如說是在攪局。   外界始終認為,美國的強項不僅是軍事及經濟上的力量,還有文化及價值觀等軟實力。提倡此論點的政治學者約瑟夫·奈爾指出:「並非動用威脅或金錢力量,而是自然拉攏對方,獲得所追求的事物之能力。」這番議論成立之時的光景令人懷念。   隨著外界對川普的抗議,迄今已有10名巴勒斯坦人死亡。若非總統的輕舉妄動及妄言,這些人命將不會殞落。   原文刊載於2017年12月24日 William Makepeace Thackeray  died in London, England on this day in 1863 (aged 52). "The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind...
