凌空捕捉的传说、寓言、道德故事，这本《东方故事集》在玛格丽特·尤瑟纳尔的作品中占有独特的地位，犹如一座宏伟宫殿中的一间精巧的小礼拜堂。现实在其中变幻，梦想与神话每一次说着新的语言。故事里的欲望和激情往往出人意表，狂暴而炽热地燃烧，或许因为在这些短小叙事令人赞叹的结构中，这些情感找到了必要的完美反差，瞬间闪耀。
——马蒂厄·加莱（法国作家，文学评论家）

That Mad Ache , set in high-society Paris in the mid-1960’s, recounts the emotional battle unleashed in the heart of Lucile, a sensitive but rootless young woman who finds herself caught between her carefree, tranquil love for 50-year-old Charles, a gentle, reflective, and well-off businessman, and her sudden wild passion for 30-year-old Antoine, a hot-blooded, impulsive, and struggling editor. As Lucile explores these two versions of love, she vacillates in confusion, but in the end she must choose, and her heart’s instinct is surprising and poignant. Originally published under the title La Chamade , this new translation by Douglas Hofstadter returns a forgotten classic to English. In Translator, Trader , Douglas Hofstadter reflects on his personal act of devotion in rewriting Françoise Sagan’s novel La Chamade in English, and on the paradoxes that constantly plague any literary translator on all scales, ranging from the humblest of commas to entire chapters. Flatly rejecting the common wisdom that translators are inevitably traitors, Hofstadter proposes instead that translators are traders, and that translation, like musical performance, deserves high respect as a creative act. In his view, literary translation is the art of making subtle trades in which one sometimes loses and sometimes gains, often both losing and gaining at the same time. This view implies that there is no reason a translation cannot be as good as the original work, and that the result inevitably bears the stamp of the translator, much as a musical performance inevitably bears the stamp of its artists. Both a companion to the beloved Sagan novel and a singular meditation on translation, Translator, Trader is a witty and intimate exploration of words, ideas, communication, creation, and faithfulness.

1961 film by Alain Resnais

安德烈•纪德（1869—1951）是法国20世纪最重要的作家之一，也是法国乃至整个现代西方文学史、思想史上最重要的人物之一，因其“内容广博和艺术意味深长的作品——这些作品以对真理的大无畏的热爱，以锐敏的心理洞察力表现了人类的问题与处境”而荣获1947年度诺贝尔文学奖。他广泛关注宗教、爱情、家庭、性、政治等各类问题，热烈歌吟解放与自由，以赤诚之心去担当人性中的最大可能。他是时代的见证人，更是时代的创造者，法国文坛的后起之秀如萨特、加缪等，都曾将纪德视为自己的精神导师。同时，纪德也称得上20世纪最具争议、最令人费解的作家之一。他的“纵情”、他的“颠覆”，曾一度使他“声名狼藉”；但另一方面，他内心中同样真挚的是一种对于“神圣生活”的需要的肯定。他对同性恋的辩护、在道德伦理上的特别主张至今仍是人们关注和讨论的焦点。
本书特意选收纪德创作生涯早、中、晚期的三部小型杰作：《帕吕德》《田园交响曲》和《忒修斯》，以期为读者提供一个独特的视角，尝一脔而知一鼎之味，切实地体验这位最复杂多变的大师文学、美学与哲学的独特魅力。
