愛與哀愁的道程

by Kotaro Takamura, 高村光太郎, 吳繼文 (Translator)

日本著名雕刻家、畫家高村光太郎，不僅是日本近代美術的開拓者，也是日本新詩史上無法抹滅的名字，書寫與妻子智惠子的「愛的編年史」——《智惠子抄》，尤其被推崇為世界文學珍品，廣為世人傳頌，而智惠子死後，彷彿隱士的高村先生則展開了自然寫作的新頁。

　　一九一一年，二十八歲的高村光太郎結識女畫家長沼智惠子，三年後發表了第一部詩集《道程》。一九三八年，不敵病魔（精神分裂症），五十二歲的智惠子死於肺結核，高村光太郎出版了紀念詩集《智惠子抄》，見證兩人橫跨三十年的愛情。晚年，他獨居於岩手縣的山間小屋中，自耕自食，並寫下了許多山居隨筆。

　　本書彙集高村的《回想錄》、《智惠子抄》，以及《山之四季》，除了提供讀者一窺高村光太郎藝術的養成，與智惠子的愛情，以及隱居山林後對生活美學、哲學的思考，更認識一位終其一生追求純粹的人。

About the author

Kōtarō Takamura was a Japanese poet and sculptor.

He graduated from the Tokyo School of Fine Arts in 1902, where he studied sculpture. He studied in New York in 1906, London in 1907, and in Paris in 1908, returning to Japan in 1909, and lived there for the rest of his life.

His sculptural work shows strong influence both from Western work (especially Auguste Rodin, whom he idolized) and from Japanese traditions.

He is also famous for his poems, and especially for his collection Chiekosho (Chieko's sky) (1941), a collection of poems about his wife Chieko Takamura, who died in 1938.

回想錄很有趣，山之四季當然好看，但智惠子抄還不太懂得欣賞，抄真是一種奇怪的文體。
