Adults often find surprising subtexts in children's literature – but are they really there? Hephzibah Anderson delves into the world of Freud and fairy tales. 成年人经常能在儿童读物中发现令人意想不到的潜台词——但这些潜台词真的存在吗？赫弗齐芭•安德森深入探究了弗洛伊德理论和童话世界。 As a child many of my favourite books had food as a theme. One in particular told the story of a boy who helped save his local burger bar by becoming a gastro-sleuth to track down a lost secret ingredient. 小时候，我最喜欢看的是以食物为主题的书。令我印象尤为深刻的一个故事是：有一个小男孩为了拯救当地的汉堡店，从而化身为“味觉侦探”去寻找遗失的秘方。 Long after losing track of the book and forgetting its title, I found myself in Edinburgh to interview Alexander McCall Smith. He was already the mega-selling author of The No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, but years earlier, he had published a few children's books. There among them on a shelf was The Perfect Hamburger. 很多年过去了，书已经找不到了，甚至连书名也已记不清。直到我去爱丁堡拜访亚历山大·考尔史密斯。那时他已经凭着《第一女子侦探事务所》系列小说成为了超级畅销作家，但早年，他也出版过一些儿童书籍。这些书籍在他的书架上放着，其中有一本就是《一个完美的汉堡》。 |
