-R;G'T*KlS-i1Jw 這本書是Jack Dann和Gardner Dozois以巫師為主題，邀請了十八位當代”重量級”的奇科幻作家撰寫的短篇小說集，我還沒看，應該是頗有意思的合集，看見封面強調”Never-Before-Published Stories”，衝著這行就覺得值得，哈哈。

!G]B5r `L$ty Wizards have stalked through the human imagination for thousands and thousands of years, perhaps even from a time before we were fully human. Traces of Neanderthal magic have been found at prehistoric sites: a low-walled stone enclosure containing seven bear heads, all facing forward; a human skull deep caves of Lascaux and Altamira and Rouffignac, the Cro-Magnons were practicing magic too, perhaps learned from the vanishing Neanderthals, filling wall after wall in the most remote and isolated depths of hidden caverns with vivid, emblematic paintings of Ice Age animals and the abstract and interlacing paint-outlined human handprints known as "Macaronis" (there's little doubt that these paintings were used in sorcerous rites, especially as many of the paintings seem to have been ritually "killed," perhaps to ensure success in the hunt). These ancient walls also give us what may be the very first representation of a wizard in human history, a hulking, shaggy, mysterious, deer-headed figure watching over the bright, flat, painted animals as they caper across the stone.
6}E5`6wO
"ePEze"I Wizards, sorcerers, shamans, witches, medicine men, seers, root women, conjure men--every age and every culture from prehistoric times on has had its own version of the magic-user, the-one-who-intercedes-with-the-spirits, the one who knows the ancient secrets and can call upon the hidden powers, the one who can see both the spirits world and the physical world, and who can mediate between them. Sometimes they're benevolent and wise, sometimes evil and malign, sometimes--ambiguously--both. Even here in the twenty-first century, where space stations and satellites whirl overhead, you can communicate instantly with someone on the other side of the world, and you can cross a continent from one coast to the other in a matter of hours (things that would themselves have seemed like the most extreme magic only a few hundred years ago), the figure of the wizard is still a deeply significant one, an archetype that haunts art, advertising, literature, folklore, cartoons, movies, and even our very dreams.HZqEkv+fP
.T X'c"X9^ S~-_)h
We asked some of the very best modern fantasist--Neil Gaiman, Garth Nix, Elizabeth Hand, Eoin Colfer, Jane Yolen, Peter S. Beagle, Kage Baker, Tad Williams, Orson Scott Card, Gene Wolfe, Patricia A. McKillip, Terry Bisson, Nancy Kress, Andy Duncan, Mary Rosenblum, Jeff Ford, Tanith Lee, Terry Dowling--to write stories about that most potent of fantasy archetypes, The Wizard. This book you hold in your hands is the result, and here you will find wizards young and old, evil and benign, male and female, living in the ancient world and in the modern world and in fantasy worlds that never were...children who can talk to animals, and animals who are willing to give up their lives to fight evil magic, boys who are raised by the dead, and girls who make friends with ghosts in haunted houses, boys who find the Devil ruffling through magazines in their garage or who secretly have the power of gods, and women who fight Iron Magic with Holly Magic through the deep forests of Arthurian Britain, or who fight deadly magical conspiracies in their own backyards, talking chickens and monstrous manticores, stone men, mysterious strangers, and a ruby incomparable, wizards as blackly evil as night or as bright and gentle as a summer's day...plus a few wizards who just can't make up their minds!

We hope you enjoy them.

啊咧。我就记得之前有看过书介，发完帖才想到貌似在哪里看见过。果然Lala在NG版上早贴过了。我刚拿到书一时太兴奋就，，，
2DC9td3T
vX Q%TE 若觉得重覆的话就请Lala或版主直接砍掉吧，或是我把目录和序贴过去也成[s:3]

Lala 2007-8-1 12:59

这贴就留在这里好了

你是买的原版么？多少钱？/zRDW2a9^:@

希望有空时候能帮忙把里面NG 和Jeffrey的两篇翻译下哦（特别是NG的那篇 The Witch's Headstone）[s:1]

lofeiy 2007-8-1 13:16

回复 #3 Lala 的帖子

我在amazon买的精装本，特价USD16.5。封面很漂亮，可惜没有任何插图[s:10]
|F`9Lx-Jm{Cg OD j,g;[mb"kJ
〈The Witch's Headstone〉好像在《M is for Magic》里头也有，但在ftp里还没看到，倒是《M》这本有两个版本，USD60的版本看起来像是图画书（因为就算是签名限定版也不用卖那么贵，害人根本买不下手吧 XD），因为我没办法在书店里找到所以不确定。1R T'y0y^'K
mB&uee@ l#mP
其实是在偷偷打着算盘，若是有资源的话，TIF不晓得可不可以把那本昂贵的书做个汉化，就当我吃饱了撑着痴人说梦好啦 ^^;;;
b+_ |+Y7JGBv9E ;]3O | t%[b0E(@a
然后，若是不太急，我可以接〈The Witch's Headstone〉的翻译，但因为有二十几页，下礼拜我又要忙搬家，所以时程可能得久一点。

Lala 2007-8-1 13:32

我们比较想先做M is for Magic （这本篇章少，大部分已有翻译）PDF，而且[u]征集大家自己画插图[/u]会比较有趣……所以想请你翻译The Witch's Headstone.h*]P"@ LqQd

&j&aW|*k4Y%j h)WP!yPW
另外，一个一直在酝酿的主意：
h Ufm&?{%]6me 我们自己DIY本NG的中文翻译短篇集，组织小范围印刷（现在有很多出版商承接这业务的）E.OS:TCtu4~BV5s@
然后根据订购几本，再印刷几本，发到大家手上%Iv~t.c2z:QHEc
对国内版商愿意出短篇sf fictions 比较没信心
y` d4Sir-Y.\ E6jSh 4p? SY ^;w.qz!l6Z
1来是我们自己翻译的，把已经翻译出来的集结为一本，起个名字^^，很有意义吧#z.Z6nQ/[)@$P0`M
2来根据大家订购数量去印，若数量少印刷成本费可能高些，主要只为收藏用不为赚钱（可能会稍微向购买者要一点点利润，给翻译的诸位）
o+e*XP9uX}S[ 3来没书号，也不用去搞版权之类
Y){N6D:H&Z gP+d
OAoX2yw{5F 肯定是NG迷和书迷的大爱[s:6]

lofeiy 2007-8-1 13:40

西西，之前就自己在那里想，都翻了这么多应该可以集结出版了吧，花哈果然。而且还征集插图做小范围印刷，这主意实在太赞啦，举双手赞成～～～～
piI7utLF/eI
!tBA S%RYt7WL （再弱弱地问）那，有没有可能拿到翻译代理呢？毕竟《M》是今年六月的书，似乎比较有希望......

Lala 2007-8-1 13:55

sigh ，我们毕竟是fans ，商业操作得花很多时间，牵涉到的事情也多。谈版权/翻译出版更不太应该是我们去做的。NG出名了，版权价格嘛可想而知。象M is for Magic 这样才十篇不到的书，国内有多少人真的愿意出钱买呢，知道NG的人也不多。 zA.N ?jfG

f;@~F.hX? 所以目前策略是请些小的出版商来看，他们有兴趣的话，那最好了，请他们去谈（这可能性很小，因为利益问题，不赚钱的有哪个商业单位肯做呢，现在外面出的都是长篇小说……）。 bHZ@.U2XIj,jl
;j7^+v@Z VBB
不管结果如何，我们自己出个民间版收藏下还是不难的。[/color]

顾极 2007-8-1 17:03

民间版的要是出来,我也想收藏一本,很有意义的说.

Shrewd 2007-8-1 17:12

[y:3] 即使可能有点贵？

黑河内梦路 2007-8-1 17:23

支持民间版！作为收藏，越华丽越好~价钱无所谓[y:11]

Shrewd 2007-8-1 17:39

[y:1] 于是便可放心去杀价。

lofeiy 2007-8-2 07:34

既然是民间"限量"版，怎么可能让人杀价呢，嘿嘿嘿[s:8] w"U#Q6G5~A$Gn8NmB

只是我得托朋友拿回来了（沉思貌）
