A thoroughly revised and updated edition of Thomas C. Foster's classic guide--a lively and entertaining introduction to literature and literary basics, including symbols, themes and contexts, that shows you how to make your everyday reading experience more rewarding and enjoyable.
While many books can be enjoyed for their basic stories, there are often deeper literary meanings interwoven in these texts. How to Read Literature Like a Professor helps us to discover those hidden truths by looking at literature with the eyes--and the literary codes-of the ultimate professional reader, the college professor.
What does it mean when a literary hero is traveling along a dusty road? When he hands a drink to his companion? When he's drenched in a sudden rain shower?
Ranging from major themes to literary models, narrative devices and form, Thomas C. Foster provides us with a broad overview of literature--a world where a road leads to a quest, a shared meal may signify a communion, and rain, whether cleansing or destructive, is never just a shower-and shows us how to make our reading experience more enriching, satisfying, and fun.
This revised edition includes new chapters, a new preface and epilogue, and incorporates updated teaching points that Foster has developed over the past decade.
當小說主角啟程旅行代表什麼意思？和人共享一頓飯代表什麼意思？被突如其來的大雨淋成落湯雞又代表什麼意思？小說或是詩歌其中蘊含的意思，其實遠超過表象所看到的。文學作品中無所不在的象徵，你覺得代表什麼意思？發生在某個人物身上的意外轉折，作者這樣安排代表什麼意思？這些隱晦的不確切，讓文學作品看來撲朔迷離，讓你覺得頭大嗎?
在這部既實際又有趣的文學閱讀指南中，作者湯瑪斯‧佛斯特教授要告訴我們如何解開這些潛藏的秘密，邁向文學探索之路，是多麼容易又有成就感。旅程的目的絕對不是表面上看來這麼單純，吃一頓飯也不只是為了填飽肚子，下雨下雪永遠不是天氣預報的問題。這本書涵括了文學作品典型的幾個重要主題、敘事技巧及形式，在閱讀的路上指引你，使你的閱讀經驗更加豐富有趣，同時代來滿足。
讀完書想知道自己有沒有獲得佛斯特教授的真傳嗎？全文末尾附上一篇短篇故事，讓你馬上應用文學閱讀技巧，並且能夠和佛斯特及他的學生，針對這篇故事進行想法激盪，想要不學以致用都難！
