كينغسلي آميس

Sir Kingsley William Amis, CBE (16 April 1922 – 22 October 1995) was an English novelist, poet, critic, and teacher.
ولد كينغسلي آميس عام 1922

He wrote more than 20 novels, six volumes of poetry, a memoir, various short stories, radio and television scripts, along with works of social and literary criticism. According to his biographer, Zachary Leader, Amis was "the finest English comic novelist of the second half of the twentieth century." He was the father of English novelist Martin Amis

In 2008, The Times ranked Kingsley Amis ninth on their list of the 50 greatest British writers since 1945.

Novelist, poet, critic, and teacher, father of the writer Martin Amis, generally grouped among the "angry young men" in the 1950s with such writers as John Osborne, John Braine, John Wain, Arnold Wesker, and Alan Sillitoe.

كان يعتبر واحد من الكتاب الغاضبين في الخمسينيات من القرن الماضي

However, Amis himself denied the affiliation. A radical in his young adulthood, Amis was later know for his conservative critique of contemporary life and manners.
كان متطرفا في شبابه لكنه غير نظرته للحاية الحاضرة لاحقا

He once said, that if you can't annoy somebody, there is little point in writing.
قال مرة انك اذا لم تتمكن من ازعاج احدهم في كتابتك فكأنك لم تكتب

"'You'll find that marriage is a good short cut to the truth. No, not quite that. A way of doubling back to the truth. Another thing you'll find is that the years of illusion aren't those of adolescense, as the grown-ups try to tell us; they're the ones immediately after it, say the middle twenties, the false maturity if you like, when you first get thoroughly embroiled in things and lose your head. Your age, by the way, Jim. That's when you first realize that sex is important to other people besides yourself. A discovery like that can't help knocking you off balance for a time.'" (from Lucky Jim, 1954)
Kingsley Amis was born in London, the only son of a business clerk.
ولد في لندن وكان الولد الوحيد لكاتب

He was educated at the City of London School and St. John's College, Oxford. There he joined the Communist Party, edited the Oxford Labour Club Bulletin, and led the Labour Club choir.

انضم للحزب الشيوعي
"Most party members join without any knowledge, some, it is whispered, without any intelligence," he wrote to his friend. Amis served in the army with the Royal Corps of Signals, earning in 1943 his commission as second lieutenant.
خدم في الجيش

Amis's unfeigned stance is seen in such anthologies as THE NEW OXFORD BOOK OF LIGHT VERSE (1978) and THE POPULAR RECITER (1978). Amis loved detective stories and science fiction, and managed with his writings to recruit new readers to these genres. However, academic interest in science fiction horrified him:. "Science fiction has come from Chaucer to Finnegans Wake in less than fifty years... now you can take it anywhere, and it is not worth taking," he wrote pessimistically. Amis published columns on food for Harper's and Queen, detective books, critical study RUDYARD KIPLING AND HIS WORLD (1975), MEMOIRS (1990), and THE KING'S ENGLISH (1998), mini-essays on the craft of writing well. He was very sure about his likes and dislikes: "I dislike men and women when they are cold-hearted (a reserved manner is okay), unpleasant to those who can't hit back (waiters, etc.), unable to allow others to finish a sentence, stingy, disinclined to listen to reason and fact, bad hosts, bad guests, affected, racialist, intolerant of homosexuality, anti-British, members of the New Left, passively boring." (from The Letters of Kingsley Amis, ed. by Zachary Leader, 2002) ON DRINK (1972), HOW'S YOUR GLASS? (1984) and EVERY DAY DRINKING (1983) were books on alcohol.

كتب عدة كتب عن الخمرة

Poor health convinced him to give up smoking but not not scotch or gin. Amis had gained reputation as a "supreme clubman, boozer and blimp", but partly his enthusiams was hobbyistic. His second wife Jane Howard also insisted that he should, in effect, join Alcoholics Anonymous. Amis's own "New Alcoholic Policy" meant that he took 4-5 drinks a day.
--'I don't really like reading anything. I don't think reading is an experience.'
--'But what about people reading you? Isn't that an experience?' Jenny felt horrible as she used the word.
--'I don't really care about reading me, I'm a writer,' said Vera Selig...'
(from Difficulties with Girls, 1988)
زوجته الثانية اصرت عليه الانضمام الى برنامج للعلاج من الخمرة
In the 1980s Amis wrote the Booker Prize winning novel THE OLD DEVILS (1986), about a group of retired friends and their wives. Their lives revolve around social drinking, but they also must adjust to the reappearance of Alun Weaver, a professionally Welsh literary pundit.
في عام 1980 كتب رواية بعنوان الشياطين الكبار في السن فازت هذه الرواية بجائزة وتدور احداثها حول عدد من الاصدقاء المتقاعدين وزوجاتهم وتتمحور حول شرب الخمر

Semi-autobiographical YOU CAN'T DO BOTH (1994) was set between the wars, and told the story of Robin Davies, who progresses from south London suburbia, through Oxford, and on to a lectureship in a provincial university.
Amis was knighted in 1990 - according to Martin Amis he got it partly for being "audibly and visibly right-wing, or conservative/monarchist." He had three children from his first marriage to Hilary Bardwell; the separated in the mid 1960s. After divorce, her second husband was D.R. Shackleton Bailey and 3rd Lord Kilmarnock. Amis was married from 1965 to 1983 to the novelist Elisabeth Jane Howard. The author's disappointments, which unwinded in bitternes in some of his later work, were seen in the poem 'Wasted' (1973).

Amis described in it a memory of a cold winter evening, when he is trying to kindle rain-soaked logs. Others have gone to their chilly beds before the wood began to flame. "Why should that memory cling / Now the children are all grown up, / And the house - a different house - / Is warm at any season?" Amis died in 1995 at the age of 73 with over 20 novels to his credit, plus dozens of volumes of poetry, stories, collections of essays, and criticism.

His last unfinished novel was BLACK AND WHITE, about an attraction between a white homosexual man and a black heterosexual girl.

The popular notion of Amis as mean spirited reactionary has been criticized by Paul Fussell in his monograph The Anti-Egotist. Fussell sees the author as one of the great literary moralists of this century. A "cultural democrat," Amis values honesty, civility, and lack of pretense. The only novelist Amis admitted reading (other than his son Martin), was George McDonald Frazer, author of the Flashman series. Among the author's life long friends was the poet Philip Larkin, whom Amis befriended because they were "savagely uninterested in the same things."
كان رجعيا في فكره ولو يقرا روايات احد تقريبا وصديقه الوحيد شاعر وجد انهما يشتركان في عدم الاهتمام في نفس الاشياء بصورة صارخه

In his memoir Experience (2000) Amis draws a compassionate, probing, and sharp portrait of his father.
في مذكراته تجربتي عام 2000 يصور اميس والده بصورة عاطفية وحادة

Amis admits that as a writer he always knew he would have to commemorate him.
اميس يقول انه كان يعرف بان عليه واجب احياء ذكراه

But there is also another reason, more universal: "The intercessionary figure, the father, the man who stands between the son and death, is no longer here; and it won't ever be the same. He is missing. But I know it is common; all that lives must die, passing through nature to eternity. My father lost his father, and my children will lose theirs, and their children (this is immensely onerous to contemplate) will lose theirs."
لكن سبب الكتابة عنه له سبب آخر وهو انه غاب بالموت وكان قل مات ابوه واميس يستشعر موته ليبقى ابناؤه من دونه فهو اذا يكتب عن ذلك الخوف الوجودي من الموت

On the pages of the book also appears another character, Lucy Partington, Amis' cousin, who was murdered by the serial killer Frederick West.

After only a year, in July 1942, he was called up for national service.
استدعي في العام 1942 للخدمة العسكرية وقبل ان ينجز شهادته الجامعية

After serving in the Royal Corps of Signals in the Second World War, Amis returned to Oxford in October 1945 to complete his degree.
عاد في العام 1945 لاكمال دراسته

In 1946, he became a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain.
في العام 1946 اصبح عضوا في الحزب الشيوعي

In 1946 he met Hilary Bardwell; they married in 1948 after she became pregnant with their first child, Philip.

Days after Sally's birth, Amis' first novel Lucky Jim was published to great acclaim; critics saw it as having caught the flavour of Britain in the 1950s, ushering in a new style of fiction.

وحيد والديه ولا يكاد يعثر على شيء عنهما ...كان جنديا واشترك في المعارك قيل عنه بأنه كان غاضب دائما في شبابه وكان يعاقر الخمر ويكتب عنها وكان له طباع تؤشر الى مرض الكآبة حيث كان انعزاليا....له صديق واحد صادقه لانه يكره معه نفس الاشياء وهو مما يدلل على انه كان مأزوم.
