翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Appointment in Samarra ： ウィキペディア英語版 Appointment in Samarra ''Appointment in Samarra'', published in 1934, is the first novel by John O'Hara. It concerns the self-destruction of Julian English, once a member of the social elite of Gibbsville (O'Hara's fictionalized version of Pottsville, Pennsylvania). In 1998, the Modern Library ranked ''Appointment in Samarra'' 22nd on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. ==Explanation of the novel's title== The title is a reference to W. Somerset Maugham's retelling of an old story,〔Maugham's version can be found (here ); a far older version is recorded in the Babylonian Talmud, Sukkah 53a.〕 which appears as an epigraph for the novel: A merchant in Baghdad sends his servant to the marketplace for provisions. Shortly, the servant comes home white and trembling and tells him that in the marketplace he was jostled by a woman, whom he recognized as Death, and she made a threatening gesture. Borrowing the merchant's horse, he flees at top speed to Samarra, a distance of about 75 miles (125 km), where he believes Death will not find him. The merchant then goes to the marketplace and finds Death, and asks why she made the threatening gesture. She replies, "That was not a threatening gesture, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Baghdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra." In his foreword to the 1952 reprint, O'Hara says that the working title for the novel was ''The Infernal Grove''. He got the idea for the title ''Appointment in Samarra'' when Dorothy Parker showed him the story in Maugham's play, ''Sheppey.'' He says "Dorothy didn't like the title, () Alfred Harcourt didn't like the title, his editors didn't like it, nobody liked it but me." O'Hara describes it as a reference to "the inevitability of Julian English's death." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Appointment in Samarra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
