我没有想到如今找一本《家》的初版本竟然是那么不容易,沪上的图书馆都查不到。我记得上世纪八十年代《中国新文学大系》编者要重印《家》时,巴老曾经说过这样的话:“去年上海文艺出版社编印《新文学大系》(第二个十年),在《小说专集》中收入我的《家》,他们一定要根据1933年开明书店的初版本排印,花了不少功夫居然找到了印数很少的初版本。”(《为旧作 I did not think now find the first version of a “home” turned out to be so easy, the library in Shanghai are not found. I remember when the editors of the “Great Department of Chinese New Literature” in the 1980s wanted to reprint “Home,” Ba Lao once said something like this: “Last year, Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House compiled a series of” New Literature “(the second ten Years), my ”home“ is collected in the ”Album of Fiction,“ and they must be typographed according to the first version of the Kung Ming Bookstore in 1933. It took quite a while for them to find the initial version with very few prints. ” Old work
