Millions of Cats 100万只猫 纽伯瑞奖 英文原版 下载 pdf 电子版 epub 免费 txt 2025

Millions of Cats is a wonderful tale of vanity versus humility, written and illustrated by the singular Wanda Gag. An old man and his wife decide to get a cat, so the old man goes out in search of the prettiest cat of all. When he is forced to choose from "hundreds, thousands, millions and billions and trillions" of cats, he (naturally) brings them all home. When the wife points out their inability to support the legion of felines, it is left to the cats to decide who among them is the prettiest. Anyone who has ever owned more than a single cat can tell you what happens next.

Gag's simple, appealing black ink drawings are perfect for the story, somehow capturing at least the idea of millions of cats in a single page. Repeated lines and the sing-song title refrain make this a read-aloud natural.(Ages 4 to 8) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

On March 11, 1893 in New Ulm, Minnesota, Wanda Gág was born to her parents Lizzie and Anton Gág. Her father and her mother's parents emigrated from Bohemia, a region in western Czechoslovakia. She lived in a creative household, and she and her six siblings danced, sang, and drew. In her father's skylighted studio, a large library and a collection of Native American artifacts and costumes shared space with his easel, paints, and works in progress. At age 15, her father passed away. On his deathbed, he told her in German, "What papa couldn't do, Wanda will have to finish."

Wanda Gág graduated high school in 1912 after which she taught country school for one year before attending St. Paul School of Art for one year and Minneapolis School of Art for three years. In 1916, her mother passed away. The next year, Gág won a scholarship to Art Students League of New York.

Wanda's first big break in the art world came in 1923 when the East 96th Street branch of the New York Public Library gave Gág her first one-artist exhibition. It included 19 drawings and 21 illustrations for children.

Her new major exhibition was held at Weyhe Gallery in 1928. Ernestine Evans, an editor at Coward-McCann, Inc., signed Gág to write Millions of Cats, after viewing the collection. From there she published ten children's books, illustrated one book for another author, and wrote an autobiography about her childhood.

Throughout these years she continued to create lithographs and watercolors, using an unusual print on sandpaper technique. In 1940 Edward Alden Jewell wrote on her artwork in the New York Times:

A room will writhe and twist and lurch, its furnishings as with some terrific inner compulsion, animate.

There is not a single static note. All is tenseness, quivering movement, drama—ideas externalized in an atmosphere of vehement light and dark.

Interiors are haunted by a presence that, if robustly sinister, is also diabolically humorous. It is a bewitched world that Wanda Gág portrays, but the bewitchment is tough, wiry, strong minded.

Wanda Gág died in New York City on June 27, 1946. She won the Newbery Honor Award and the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award for Millions of Cats, and the 1977 Kerlan Award for her entire body of work.

  那会儿当然没啥版权意识，看到图画书不错，就直接咔过来了，还顺便做成中英对照加详细注释的，帮助大家有兴趣地学英文。

  里面其实包含三组漫画，除了第一个赫赫有名的百万只猫，还有一个讲大狗熊的，和一个讲动物生育的科普故事。康馨翻译的是前两组漫画。

  现在看看，会觉得蛮有历史感的。

  张灯看这本书的游戏就是在 只 后面停顿下，等着她念猫。 ：）

  看了彭老师的文字，才知道这本书的经典之处，揭开了黄金时期的序幕。 贴下他的解读吧。

  作品解读/彭懿

      　　《100万只猫》初版于1928年,常常被认为是美国第一本真正意义上的图画书,说它拉开了上个世纪30年代图画书黄金期的序幕。

      　　为什么这么说呢?

      　　首先我们来看它的故事。

      　　“从前从前,有一对老先生和老太太住在……”这个开头的口吻我们太熟悉、也太亲切了,民间故事与格林童话都是这样开头的。事实上,它就是一个德国的民间故事。对于在旧世界的风俗、歌谣和民间传说中长大的婉达·盖格来说,写起这类体裁的作品来实在是游刃有余。松居直在他与人合著的《图画书之力》(《絵本の力》,2003)中对婉达·盖格驾驭故事的能力赞不绝口:“《100万只猫》的最大特色,是它作为一个故事的完成度的高度。婉达·盖格从小就听父母故乡波西米亚的民间传说和大人们讲故事,再加上她照看弟弟妹妹时讲故事的丰富经验,对于故事那源源不断的情节、重复的节奏、语言所具有的音韵、讲故事的那种起承转合的语气等等,早就烂熟于心了。”

      　　民间故事这种起源于口承文学的形态有一个好处,朗朗上口又易于流传,只要大人给孩子读一遍《100万只猫》,孩子就会记住了——这也从另一个侧面,验证了松居直的另外一个一直坚持的观点:图画书是读给孩子听的。婉达·盖格深知孩子倾听大人用绘声绘色的口吻讲故事时的那种喜悦。所以,她没有把它画成一本孩子自己去读的图画书,而是画了一本大人读给孩子听的图画书,那些插图,都是孩子一边听大人读、一边自己看的插图。

      　　故事的结尾似乎很恐怖——因为好几百只、好几千只、好几百万只、好几亿只、好几兆只猫都抢着说自己是最漂亮的猫,于是它们便天翻地覆地打了起来。这可不是一场随随便便的斗殴,是一场杀戮!杀到最后只剩下了一只!用老太太的话来说,就是“它们一定是你吃我、我吃你,通通被吃掉了。”——吃、吃掉了?你听到了吗?这可不是一只猫,是黑压压的好几兆只猫啊!可我们并不觉得残忍与血腥,孩子们听了说不定还会笑出声来,民间故事都这么写,这正是它的传统与幽默。

      　　我们再来看它的画面。

      　　今天,类似《100万只猫》这样的横长开本的图画书我们已经屡见不鲜了,对“图画书是用图画来讲故事的”这样的说法,也不会有什么异议了。但是在七十多年,这一切都是婉达·盖格的首创!最典型的,就是第4页与第5页合起来的那个画面,这是一个被永久载入了史册的经典画面——老先生出门去找猫,他越过了一座又一座艳阳高照的小山丘……左面一页与右面一页合成了一幅画面,一条弯弯曲曲的山道从左面一页的左下角,一直延伸到右面一页的右上角。太精彩了,沿着这条山道蜿蜒而上,首先映入眼帘的是老先生和老太太住的那座四周开满了花的小房子,小房子的烟囱里还冒着烟,是炊烟吧?再往上,是散落在路边和山丘上的人家、教堂,还有成片成片的树和补丁似的田地。啊,看见了,胡子长得都翘起来的老先生已经走得很远了,快要走出画面了。这些都是文字上所没有的细节,这就是图画讲给我们的故事。正如松居直所说的那样,当文字的叙述与图画的叙述融为一体的时候,“图画书”也就成立了。

      　　《100万只猫》被人说得最多的,还有它的留白以及画面上那些手写的文字。原版上的那些具有乡村气息的文字,都是出自于婉达·盖格的弟弟之手。

      　　说到这本书,还有一个失而复得的故事。这其实是她许多年前的一部旧稿,她曾经创作过三本图画书,还把它们寄给了纽约的出版商,不过很快就被退了回来。33岁那年,“科沃德—麦卡恩”出版公司的一位名叫埃默斯坦·埃文斯的童书编辑,在“纽约韦黑美术馆”发现了婉达·盖格的作品。她问婉达·盖格:你愿意出版一本图画书吗?于是婉达·盖格就从退稿中取出了一部,这就是《100万只猫》。

      　　《100万只猫》获得了成功。即使在彩色图画书纵横天下的今天,它也依然是那样地大放异彩。不然,《英语儿童文学史纲》的作者约翰·洛威·汤森怎么会感慨万分地说:“婉达·盖格创作了一本无可挑战的经典图画书……《100万只猫》完全是黑白的,证明了色彩对一本成功的图画书并不是重要的。”
