人類有許多經驗都是訪諸四海皆準的,居住在世界上不同地方的人們,卻都面臨到許多相同的衝突、情感,以及教訓。索爾頓‧懷爾德試圖在他的書與劇作中展現出這些共同之處。懷爾德於1897417日出生在威斯康辛州的麥迪遜,他是20世紀最偉大的劇作家之一。他是七本小說、三齣戲劇、,許多論文、單幕戲劇,以及文章的作者。懷爾德是唯一一位拿過普利茲文學獎與劇作獎的大文豪。


So much of human experience is universal; people living a world away go through many of the same conflicts, emotions, and lessons that you do. Thornton Wilder sought to show this in his books and stage plays. Born April 17, 1897, in Madison, Wisconsin, Wilder is one of the greatest playwrights of the 20th century. Author of seven novels, three plays, many essays, one-act plays, and articles, he is the only writer to win Pulitzer Prizes for both literature and drama.
