《林语堂英文作品集》是林语堂用英文创作的一系列作品，曾经轰动欧美文坛，影响深远，一直被视为阐述东方文化的权威著作。此外。本套图书独家原版引进，众多著作以英文原貌首次登陆国内；数十幅珍贵老照片真实回味过去的时光。重磅上市，值得珍藏！

读林先生的书使人得到很大启发。我非常感激他，因为他的书使我大开眼界。只有一位优秀的中国人才能这样坦诚、信实而又毫不偏颇地论述他的同胞。

WORKS IN ENGLISH BY LIN YUTANG
序言
One morning in 19o5, or the 3tth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu ofQing Dynasty, two brothers set out by boat from their hometown Boa-ah, amountain hamlet in Fujian Province on the southern coast of China, for theport city of Xiamen, some sixty miles away. The boys were full of excitementand chatter, especially the younger one. Yutang was ten years old, and today, hewas taking leave of his hometown and going with his brother to study in Xiamen.They were sons of Pastor Lin Zhicheng, who was born in the poor village ofWulisha. Pastor Lin was sending his sons to free missionary schools in Xiamen.
The Pastor was not a follower of convention, so the boys did not wearqueues. Yutang was a little guy, deeply tanned, with a prominent forehead, apair of sparkling eyes, and a narrow chin. Six miles later, when the skiff cameto Xiaoxi, the boys changed to a five-sail junk, and sailed toward Zhangzhouon West River. There were paddy fields and farmhouses on either side ofthe river, and tall mountains stood behind them, clad in grey-purplishhues. Yutang thought it inexpressibly beautiful. After a day's journey, the junkwas tied up against the bank under some bamboo trees. Yutang was told to liedown, cover himself with a blanket and go to sleep.
But sleep was the last thing on the boy's mind. The boatman sitting at the junk's stern was sucking at his pipe, and between gulps of bitter tea, telling stories about the Empress Dowager Cixi, who ruled the court today, having put the Emperor Guangxu under house arrest for supporting the reformers at the palace. Another junk was tied up on the opposite bank, brightly lit by lanterns. A soft breeze wafted sounds of merrymaking and music from a lute across the water. Oh, what a beautiful scene！
文摘
An excellent illustration of a perfectly sound mind is provided by theEnglish. The English have got bad logic, but very good tentacles in theirbrains for sensing danger and preserving life. I have not been able to discoveranything logical in their national behaviour or their rational history. Theiruniversities, their constitution, their Anglican Church are all pieces ofpatchwork, being the steady accretions of a process of historical growth. Thevery strength of the British Empire consists in the English lack of cerebration,in their total inability to see the other man's point of view, and in their strongconviction that the English way is the only right way and English food is theonly good food. The moment Englishmen learn to reason and lose their strongconfidence in themselves, the British Empire will collapse. For no one cango about conquering the world if he has doubts about himself. You can make absolutely nothing out of the English attitude toward their king, their loyalty to, and their quite genuine affection for, a king who is deprived by them of the liberty of speech and is summarily told to behave or quit the throne.... When Elizabethan England needed pirates to protect the Empire, she was able to produce enough pirates to meet the situation and glorified them. In every period, England was able to fight the tight war, against the right enemy, with the right ally, on the right side, at the right time, and call it by a wrong name. They didn't do it by logic, did they？ They did it by their tentacles.
