他的夢和他的夢

by Liu Yichang, 劉以鬯

“高鶚進入曹雪芹的夢境，好像探險者忽然找到珍寶，很興奮。曹雪芹喜歡做夢。高鶚也喜歡做夢。一次又一次，高鶚進入曹雪芹的夢境去認識他需要熟悉的人和事：假的人、假的事、真的人、真的事。”

劉以鬯寫過不少風格獨特、膾灸人口的小說，讀者知之甚詳，但對於劉以鬯的「實驗散文」，所知不多。透過本書，讀者可以對劉以鬯的散文有很全面的認識。收入本書的文章，時空跨越大半個世紀，由三十年代到千禧年代作者所發表的散文精品，均網羅其中。內容涉獵歷史、文學、人物、藝術、生活情趣等多個領域，可見作者知識之廣博。劉以鬯的作品擅長氣氛之營造、文字之駕馭，令人讀來如沐清風，如霑春雨，不啻是一種享受。

About the author

Liu Tongyi was a Chinese novelist, essayist, poet and literary critic who writes under the pseudonym Liu Yichang (劉以鬯). He did not grow up in Hong Kong but spent the first thirty years of his life either there or in the wartime capital Chungking, where he went upon graduating from the English-speaking St John's University in 1941. It was in Chungking that he took up the profession of newspaper editing which he practised more or less continuously until his retirement in 1991. Liu came to Hong Kong in 1948, and apart from a spell in Singapore and Malaya (1952-1957), has made it his home.
