大卫·高布·麦卡洛(David Gaub McCullough /məˈkʌlə/;1933年7月7日—2022年8月7日),或译大衛·麥可洛夫大卫·麦卡洛夫,是一位美国通俗历史学家、作家,两度获普利策奖国家图书奖,2006年获總統自由勳章[1][2]

麦卡洛写过不少通俗历史文学作品,涉及哈里·S·杜鲁门约翰·亚当斯西奥多·罗斯福布鲁克林大桥巴拿马运河莱特兄弟等。他曾为多部纪录片担任旁白,主持了PBS电视纪录片系列《美国历史》十二年。

麦卡洛的两本普利策奖获奖作品《杜鲁门》和《约翰·亚当斯》分别被HBO改编成电视电影和迷你剧。

早年

麦卡洛出生于宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡Point Breeze[3] ,母亲名叫露丝(Ruth,娘家姓Rankin;1899年至1985年),父亲是克里斯蒂安·哈克斯·麦卡洛(Christian Hax McCullough,1899年至1989年)[4],两人共育有四子。他有苏格兰、爱尔兰、英格兰、德国血统[5][6],曾就读于匹兹堡的林登大道小学(Linden Avenue Grade School)和沙迪赛德学院(Shady Side Academy)。[2]

他小时候爱好广泛,喜欢体育和画卡通画[7]。麦卡洛的父母和祖母经常读书给他听[5],平常也谈论一些历史话题[5]。他考虑过当建筑师、演员、画家、作家、律师,也想过读医学院[7]

1951年,麦卡洛就读耶鲁大学[8],学习英语文学。他很喜欢这里的文学氛围,当时約翰·奧哈拉约翰·赫西罗伯特·佩恩·沃伦布伦丹·吉尔等都在此任教[9]。麦卡洛曾与桑顿·怀尔德共进午餐[9],后者教给了他一些写作技巧[10]

在耶鲁大学期间,他曾加入骷髅会[11],曾在《时代》《生活》、美国新闻署和《美国遗产[9]实习。1955年,他获得了英语文学学士学位,打算成为一名小说作家或剧作家[5][12][13]

写作生涯

毕业后,麦卡洛进入《体育画报》实习[7],后来曾在美国新闻署、《美国遗产》工作[3]。从事编辑和写作工作十二年后,麦卡洛决定做一些自己的事情[7]

麦卡洛最初没打算写历史文学,但偶然发现约翰斯顿洪水是一个值得一讲的题材,因此创作了《约翰斯顿洪水》(The Johnstown Flood)一书,1968年出版[7],获得好评。他当时经济困难[8],但还是在妻子罗莎莉的鼓励下决定成为一名全职作家[7]

《约翰斯顿洪水》成功后,有两家新出版商向他提供了合同,让他写芝加哥大火旧金山大地震[14],《约翰斯顿洪水》的出版商西蒙與舒斯特也提出了新合同[8]。他不想继续写悲剧题材[14],决定瞄准布魯克林大橋历史[8],此即《大桥》(The Great Bridge,1972)一书。同时,在编辑的建议下,他打算再写一部巴拿马运河香相关作品[8]

《大洋之间》(The Path Between the Seas)在1977年出版[8],获美國國家圖書獎[15]弗朗西斯·帕克曼奖[16]考李留斯·雷恩新聞獎等。同年,卡洛前往白宫就《巴拿马运河条约》向吉米·卡特美国参议院提供建议[17],卡特后来说,如果没有这本书条约可能不会通过[17]

1981年与罗纳德·里根

麦卡洛的第四部作品《马背上的清晨》(Mornings on Horseback,1981)是他的第一部传记作品,表达了他的观点“历史是人的故事”[18] 。它描绘的是美国第26任总统西奥多·罗斯福从童年到1886年的故事[19]。该书再次获得国家图书奖,也获得了洛杉矶时报纽约公共图书馆奖项[20]

接下来,他陆续出版了散文集《勇敢的伙伴》(Brave Companions,1991)[21]和小说《杜鲁门》(Truman,1993年)。后者为他赢得第一个普利策奖[22]和第二个弗朗西斯·帕克曼奖。1995年,这本书被改编为HBO的同名电视电影[8]

2001年,麦卡洛出版了《约翰·亚当斯》,也是一部畅销书[8],2002年获普利策奖[22]。2008年,这部作品由HBO改编为同名迷你剧[23]

麦卡洛的《1776》(2005)讲述乔治·华盛顿和美国建国的故事[24],也是一部畅销书[24]。他曾打算写《1776》的续集[24],但因与西蒙与舒斯特出版公司的合同改为《伟大的旅程》(2011)[25],讲述马克·吐温萨缪尔·摩尔斯等19世纪美国人的成就[26]

此后,麦卡洛又出版了《莱特兄弟》(2015)[27]、《拓荒者》(The Pioneers;2019)[28]

个人生活

2008年麦卡洛在瓦萨学院演讲

1954年,麦卡洛与罗莎莉·巴恩斯(Rosalee Barnes)结婚,婚姻持续至2022年6月9日罗莎莉去世[29]。他们有五个孩子[30]。除去历史外,麦卡洛还喜欢运动和视觉艺术,包括水彩画和肖像画[31]

作为一名注册中間選民,麦卡洛一般不公开评论当代政治问题,表示“我的专长是死去的政客。” 2016年总统选举期间,他打破惯例批评唐纳德·特朗普,称特朗普是“一个自负的可怕小丑”。[32]

麦卡洛于2022年8月7日在欣厄姆的家中去世,享年89岁。[33]

荣誉

2006年,乔治·W·布什授予麦卡洛总统自由勋章

他的作品已以多种语言出版[5],并获得了众多奖项。1995年,美国国家图书基金会授予其终身美国文学杰出贡献奖[34]。2006年12月,他获得总统自由勋章[2]

麦卡洛一生获得了40多个荣誉学位[35]、两项普利策奖、两项国家图书奖、两项弗朗西斯·帕克曼奖[36][37]古根海姆奖[38]等等。

1993年3月22日,麦卡洛在耶鲁大学举办了第一届约翰·赫西讲座[39]。2003年,美国国家人文基金会选择麦卡洛主持杰斐逊讲座[40]

2012年12月,宾夕法尼亚州阿勒格尼县宣布将重新命名匹兹堡第16街大桥以纪念麦卡洛。 [41]
