Frank McCourt's haunting memoir takes on new life when the author reads from his Pulitzer Prize-winning book. Recounting scenes from his childhood in New York City and Limerick, Ireland, McCourt paints a brutal yet poignant picture of his early days when there was rarely enough food on the table, and boots and coats were a luxury. In a melodic Irish voice that often lends a gentle humor to the unimaginable, the author remembers his wayward yet adoring father who was forever drinking what little money the family had. He recounts the painful loss of his siblings to avoidable sickness and hunger, a proud mother reduced to begging for charity, and the stench of the sewage-strewn streets that ran outside the front door. As McCourt approaches adolescence, he discovers the shame of poverty and the beauty of Shakespeare, the mystery of sex and the unforgiving power of the Irish Catholic Church. This powerful and heart-rending testament to the resiliency and determination of youth is populated with memorable characters and moments, and McCourt's interpretation of the narrative and the voices it contains will leave listeners laughing through their tears. --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

他说：你们必须得研究和学习，自我判断历史和其他东西，不过，要是大脑空空的话，你们什么事也没法做决定。把你们的大脑充实起来吧，把你们的大脑充实起来吧。大脑是你们的宝库，世界上没有人能干涉得了它。要是你赌赢爱尔兰赛马，买下一套房子，房子需要家具，你会往里面塞些乱七八糟的垃圾吗？你们的大脑就是你们的房子，要是往里面塞从电影院看到的那些垃圾，你们的头脑便会腐烂。你可能是个穷人，你的鞋子是破的，但你的大脑却是座宫殿。

圣帕特里克把蛇赶出了爱尔兰，而英国人却把跳蚤带进了爱尔兰。

随后，他冲全班的人说，这里有人嘲笑别人，有人讥笑别人的不幸。这个班里有谁自认为完美无缺吗？举起手来。

　　没有人举手。

　　这个班里有谁出身富豪，把大把的钞票都花在鞋子上吗？举起手来。

　　没有人举手。

　　他说，班上有些孩子不得不想方设法修补鞋子，这不是他们的过错，有些孩子根本就没有鞋子可穿，这不是他们的过错，也不是耻辱。我们的主就没有鞋子，他死的时候没穿鞋子。你们可曾看见被吊在十字架上的他穿着运动鞋吗？你们见过吗，男孩们？

　　没有，先生。

　　你们没有看见我们的主怎么样？

　　被吊在十字架上，还穿着运动鞋，先生。

　　那么，要是我听说这个班里有人嘲笑迈考特或者他弟弟的鞋子，棍子就会找上门来。什么会找上门来，男孩们？

　　棍子，先生。

　　棍子会蜇人的，男孩们。白蜡树枝会在空中嗖嗖作响，会落在那些讥讽者的屁股上，落在那些嘲笑者的屁股上。他会落在什么地方，男孩们？

　　落在讥讽者的屁股上，先生。

　　还有呢？

　　嘲笑者的屁股上，先生。

像童年时那样爱她吧，

哪怕她虚弱、衰老、发色灰白。

因为你永远不会失去母爱，

直到她有一天在地下长眠。

爸爸白天出去找工作，一回到家，他就抱着玛格丽特，唱歌给她听：

一个月夜，在隐蔽的角落，

我发现了一个矮矮的小妖魔。

猩红的帽子和绿色的外套，

身旁还有个小坛锅。

噼里啪啦，那是他的锤子

在往丁点大的鞋子上戳。

啊，想到他将被我活捉，我不禁开怀大笑，

可这个小妖魔，他为何也一样，喜上眉梢。

She knows as long as you're in the asylum you're safe from the world and its torments, there's nothing you can do, you are protected, and what's the use of worrying. It's well known that all the lunatics in the asylum have to be dragged in and she's the only one that has to be dragged out, back to her five children and the champion of all pint drinkers.

书籍介绍

YA. Despite impoverishing his family because of his alcoholism, McCourt's father passed on to his son a gift for superb storytelling. He told him about the great Irish heroes, the old days in Ireland, the people in their Limerick neighborhood, and the world beyond their shores. McCourt writes in the voice of the child?with no self-pity or review of events?and just retells the tales. He recounts his desperately poor early years, living on public assistance and losing three siblings, but manages to make the book funny and uplifting. Stories of trying on his parents' false teeth and his adventures as a post-office delivery boy will have readers laughing out loud. Young people will recognize the truth in these compelling tales; the emotions expressed; the descriptions of teachers, relatives, neighbors; and the casual cruelty adults show toward children. Readers will enjoy the humor and the music in the language. A vivid, wonderfully readable memoir.?Patricia Noonan, Prince William Public Library, VA
