Overview: 《书籍的世界》收录诺贝尔文学奖得主、20世纪最具世界影响力的德语作家赫尔曼?黑塞关于文学、图书和阅读的24篇顶级文字,首次全面展示了作家之外,集读者、编辑和评论者三个角色于一身的黑塞,可见作者缜密的思维、高超有趣的表达、广阔的文化视野、丰富深刻的内心世界和人道主义情怀……是一部很有价值的关于世界文学的鉴赏导读图书。关于阅读〔1〕大多数人不懂得如何阅读,大多数人也根本不知道他们为什么要阅读。一部分人将阅读视为一条通向“教养”的相当艰苦的、但却无法回避的道路,他们会凭借各种阅读体现最好的“教养”。另一部分人则把阅读看作一种消磨时光的轻松的娱乐,此时,只要不使人感到无聊,阅读的内容已经根本无关紧要了。于是,米勒先生在阅读歌德的《埃格蒙特》或者拜罗伊特的女伯爵的回忆录,因为他既希望借此变得更有教养,也希望弥补一下他在其知识中感受到的诸多漏洞中的一个。他对于这些漏洞的感受和体察是如此恐惧,这已经预示着,他知道如何从外部着手解决教养的问题并将教养视为通过工作就能够获取的东西,也就是说,每个他还有那么多东西要学习的教导在他身上已经毫无意义并且毫无收获。而迈耶尔先生的阅读则是“为了消遣”,就是说由于感到无聊。他有时间,他有钱可赚,和他想方设法用自己的力量所消磨的时间比起来,他甚至有多得多的时间。因此,作家们必须帮助他打发掉他漫长的一天。他阅读巴尔扎克〔2〕的作品就仿佛吸一支优质的雪茄,而他读莱瑙〔3〕的作品就如同在读一份报纸。然而,同样的米勒和迈耶尔先生,连同他们的妻子、儿子和女儿却在其他事情上并非如此毫无选择,并非如此束手束脚。在没有足够理由的情况下,他们不会购买和卖出国债的债券,他们已经通过试验证明,晚餐吃不易消化的食物对健康不利,在体力劳动上面,他们只做到在他们看来对于获得和保持健康绝对必要的程度。他们中的一些人甚至从事体育运动,并且知晓这种奇特的消磨时间的秘密,在这个过程中,一个聪明的人不仅能够得到快乐,而且可以使自己变得年轻和充满活力。就像米勒先生练体操或者划船一样,他也应当阅读。和他照顾生意的时间相比,他应该期待从他花在阅读的时间中获得不少于此的收获,他应当不会对任何一本书留下深刻的印象,如果这本书不会使他增加任何体验到的认识,不会使他变得更加健康,也不会使他年轻一天。他应该努力获得一个大学教席,而尽可能不关心教养的事情,他应当为与小说强盗和小说皮条客打交道而感到羞愧,就像他为与真正的无赖交往而感到愧疚一样。但是,读者的想法却没有这么简单,而是将印刷品的世界要么视为善与恶都已失效的一个无条件的地位更高的世界,要么就在内心里鄙视它,把它看作一个不真实的、由投机者杜撰出来的世界,人只是由于感到无聊才会进入这个世界,而从这个世界带走的却只有相对惬意地消磨了几个小时时光的感觉。然而,尽管人们对文学有这样错误的认识和轻视,米勒先生和迈耶尔先生还是阅读了太多的东西。和生意相比,他们在一件与他们的内心毫不相关的事情上面投入了更多的时间和关注。也就是说,他们并不十分清楚,在书籍当中一定会隐藏着一些并非毫无价值的东西。只是在书籍面前,他们却始终处于一种被动的依赖状态中,假如换到生意场上,这种状态很快就会将他们毁灭。寻求消磨时光和休养生息的
