二月读书会- 八卦海明威和他的朋友们

领读者：萤火虫
出席者： 雪，丽丽，潇竹，紫罗兰，水竹，姥姥，竹林子，萤火虫，老牛，挠挠
缺席者： 大雁，Alice

10个同学互帮互助，完成12张明信片的作业。有人在网上交了作业，有人当场完成。尽管人物众多，关系错综， 相信大家或多或少地对”迷惘的一代“有些了解。

下一本书是《梁思成与林徽因》， 暂定4月11日晚。 似乎是巧合，梁和林跟生活在 City of Light这伙圣贤之士是同代人。 让我们跟着丽丽老师踏着Liang&Lin的足迹去追寻那逝去的文化遗产吧。
大家别离了西方，目光转向古老的东方，一定会感慨万千。
对了，丽丽为我们找到一个非常好的纪录片。

丽丽发给大家的这部记录片好极了，看了后，有千言万语不知如何说好。

胡劲草拍了一部根据费慰梅历时十年撰写梁林夫妇传记的纪录片，共八集，基本可以作为阅读《林徽因和梁思成》这本书的参考。 -- 丽丽

大家在读书和观看记录片的同时，会碰到相关的信息，望大家有好东西分享：

# Pauline Pfeiffer

This beauty is Pauline Pfeiffer, the second wife of Hemingway's. She was 4 years' older than Hemingway while Hadley was almost 9 years' older. Wikipedia does not devote as much text to Pauline as it does to Hadley. The last chapter of the "Feast", Hemingway reflected how he got involved with her. He described the active and happy winter life his family had in the high mountains of Austria. Everything went so well but suddenly "the riches" came and unknowingly, the peace and tranquility and balance were broken. I can sense the regret Hemingway expressed intentionally or unintentionally from the lines. He admitted that he fell in love with Pauline while still in love with Hadley. The newness and strangeness of Pauline attracted Hemingway. It seems also that Pauline got so close with Hemingway couple by becoming a temporary best friend of Hadley's so she let down her guard (if she ever had one up) and allowed Pauline to live with them in that winter. Too bad Pauline let her down. Hemingway still had mixed feelings to both women when he wrote the book because he said that Pauline "... unknowingly, innocently and unrelentingly sets out to marry the husband." He described how the seemingly innocent mingle of the three of them became disastrous for the family. "So you live day by day and enjoy what you have and do not worry. You lie and hate it and it destroys you and every day is more dangerous, but you live day to day as in a war."
