- As the winner of the 1999 Pulitzer and Pen/Faulkner prizes, The Hours is a daring and deeply affecting novel inspired by the life and work of Virginia Woolf. It is a passionate, profound and haunting story of love and inheritance, hope and despair. Exiled in Richmond in the 1920s, taken from her beloved Bloomsbury and lovingly watched over by her husband Leonard, Virginia Woolf struggles to tame her rebellious mind and make a start on her new novel. In the brooding heat of 1940s Los Angeles, a young wife and mother Laura Brown yearns to escape the claustrophobia of suburban domesticity and read her precious copy of Mrs. Dalloway. And in New York in the 1990s, Clarissa Vaughan steps out of her smart Greenwich Village apartment and goes shopping for flowers for the party she is giving in honor of her life-long friend Richard, an award-winning poet whose mind and body are being ravaged by AIDS. These are the characters in Michael Cunningham's exquisite and deeply moving novel, which takes Woolf's life and work as inspiration for a meditation on artistic behavior, failure, love and madness. Moving effortlessly across the decades and between England and America, Cunningham's elegant, haunting prose explores the pain and trauma of creativity and the immutable relationship between writer and reader.
- Some of the greatest success stories of history have followed a word of encouragement or an act of confidence by a loved one or a trusting friend. Had it not been for a confident wife Sophia Peabody we might not have listed among the great names of literature the name of Nathaniel Hawthorne. When Nathaniel a heartbroken man went home in the middle of June 7, 1849 to tell his wife that he was a failure and had been fired from his job in a customs house she surprised him with a cry of joy．She said simply“Good. Now you can write your book．”“Yes ”replied the man with a sad voice “and what shall we live on while I am writing it?”To his amazement she opened a drawer and pulled out a substantial amount of money．“Where on earth did you get that?”he exclaimed．“I have always known you are a man of genius，”she told him．“I knew that someday you would write a masterpiece．So every week out of the money you gave me for housekeeping I saved a little bit．So here is enough to last us for one whole year．”Hawthorne began to write his most famous novel The Scarlet Letter relentlessly that autumn with the full support of Sophia who painted decorative fire screens and lampshades for her sister Elizabeth to sell in Boston．From his wife's trust and confidence came one of the greatest novels of American literature The Scarlet Letter in 1850．Hawthorne read the final pages to his wife．He wrote “It broke her heart and sent her to bed with a grievous headache which I look upon as a triumphant success．”The Scarlet Letter or his wife allowed Hawthorne to devote himself to his writing later．

答案:Pulitzer and Pen/Faulkner prizes winner in 1999, The Hours is a bold and emotionally resonant novel drawing inspiration from the life and writings of Virginia Woolf. It presents a tale of fervent, profound, and lingering love, inheritance, hope, and despair. In 1920s Richmond, exiled from her cherished Bloomsbury and vigilantly cared for by her husband Leonard, Virginia Woolf grapples with her disobedient mind while embarking on her latest novel. Amid the brooding warmth of 1940s Los Angeles, young homemaker and mother Laura Brown yearns to break free from suburban confinement and immerse herself in her treasured copy of Mrs. Dalloway. Concurrently, in 1990s New York, Clarissa Vaughan departs her chic Greenwich Village apartment to buy flowers for a soirée celebrating her lifelong companion Richard, a critically acclaimed poet succumbing to the ravages of AIDS. These are the protagonists in Michael Cunningham's exquisite and profoundly emotive work, which uses Woolf's existence and oeuvre as a springboard for contemplation on artistic expression, failure, love, and insanity. With seamless traversal across decades and between Britain and America, Cunningham's graceful, evocative narrative delves into the anguish and distress inherent in creativity and the timeless bond between author and audience.
