【美国人物志】芭芭拉·库尼(7/11)

芭芭拉.库尼1971年生于美国纽约,在东部沿海地区长大。她从1940年出版第一本图画书开始,到现在将近六十年不间断的创作生涯中,已有一百多部作品,获得许多图画书奖。但她表示,她最好的作品在得奖之后才诞生,因为她和她的创作技巧都比以前成熟多了。从1982年创作《花婆婆》开始,在许多人想要退休的年纪,她兴致蓬勃地继续创作出令自己满意的成绩。 她的作品的特色之一,在于它们总是反映一种强烈的“地方感”。读者可以观察到多细腻的场景描绘,对一景一幕印象深刻。她并以严格控制的色彩和布局,经营出和谐冷静的感觉,有超越时空的意境;同时具有强烈特殊的风味,忠实表现故事的戏剧性。她的故事和图画里,有对微小的生命的关爱,使人“从谦卑的小花或小动物的脸上,看到美。”

It was first published in 1982 by Viking-Penguin. "Miss Rumphius" is Alice Rumphius. A young storyteller in the book tells the story which begins with Alice as a young girl:
"In the evening Alice sat on her grandfather's knee and listened to his stories of faraway places. When he had finished, Alice would say, 'When I grow up, I too will go to faraway places, and when I grow old, I too will live beside the sea.'
'That is all very well, little Alice,' said her grandfather, 'but there is a third thing you must do.'
'What is that?' asked Alice.
'You must do something to make the world more beautiful,' said her grandfather.
'All right,' said Alice. But she did not know what that could be.
In the meantime Alice got up and washed her face and ate porridge for breakfast. She went to school and came home and did her homework. And pretty soon she was grown up."在芭芭拉.库尼的书中,貌似对大家影响最大的就是《花婆婆》了。此书因而获得了美国图书大奖。并在1982年由维京企鹅出版社初次印刷。“花婆婆”其实是叫爱丽斯.兰菲斯,在书中以一个小讲述者的角度把爱丽斯从小姑娘时开始的故事娓娓道来。
在晚上,爱丽斯坐在爷爷的膝盖上,听他讲那些遥远的地方发生的故事。当爷爷讲完的时候,爱丽斯就会说:“等我长大了,我也要去那些很遥远的地方;等我老了,我也要住在大海边。”“那很好啊,小爱丽斯。”爷爷说,“不过,还有些重要的事,是你必须要做的哦。”“那是什么呢?”爱丽斯问道。“你必须要做些什么,能让这个世界变的更美丽。”爷爷说。“好啊!”爱丽斯欣然答应,但她并不知道那会是什么。然后,爱丽斯起来洗了脸,吃完了麦片粥的早餐,去学校又回到家来写作业。这样日复一日,她很快就长大了。
