  • Madman's Drum is a wordless novel by American artist Lynd Ward (1905–1985), published in 1930. It is the second of Ward's six wordless novels. The 118 wood-engraved images of Madman's Drum tell the story of a slave trader who steals a demon-faced drum from an African he murders, and the consequences for him and his family. Ward's first wordless novel was Gods' Man of 1929. Ward was more ambitious with his second work in the medium: the characters are more nuanced, the plot more developed and complicated, and the outrage at social injustice more explicit. Ward used a wider variety of carving tools to achieve a finer degree of detail in the artwork, and was expressive in his use of symbolism and exaggerated emotional facial expressions. The book was well received upon release, and the success of Ward's first two wordless novels encouraged publishers to publish more books in the genre. In 1943 psychologist Henry Murray used two images from the work in his Thematic Apperception Test of personality traits. Madman's Drum is considered less successfully executed than Gods' Man, and Ward streamlined his work in his next wordless novel, Wild Pilgrimage (1932). (en)
  • 《狂人之鼓》(英語:Madman's Drum)是美国作家的第二部无字小说,于1930年出版,包含118页,讲述奴隶贩子在非洲为夺取魔面鼓谋杀其主后对他和家人产生严重后果的故事。 沃德于1929年推出无字小说处女作《上帝之人》,与前作相比,《狂人之鼓》更显雄心勃勃:人物刻画更加细致入微,情节更庞大复杂,对社会不公的控诉更加强烈。沃德使用各种雕刻工具,确保画作细节更精准,使用象征主义手法和夸张的面部表情呈现情节和情绪。 作品面世后获得普遍好评,与《上帝之人》的成功一起促使出版商发行更多无字小说。1943年,心理学家选中《狂人之鼓》的两幅画作纳入人格特质。评论认为,《狂人之鼓》表现不及前作,沃德大幅精简下一部无字小说《野外朝圣》。 (zh)
