“A novel of immeasurable sadness, in a league with Graham Greene’s The End of the Affair . John Boyne is very, very good at portraying the destructive power of a painfully kept secret.”
— John Irving
A masterfully told tale of passion, jealousy, heroism and betrayal set in the gruesome trenches of World War I.
It is September 1919: twenty-one-year-old Tristan Sadler takes a train from London to Norwich to deliver a package of letters to the sister of Will Bancroft, the man he fought alongside during the Great War.
But the letters are not the real reason for Tristan's visit. He can no longer keep a secret and has finally found the courage to unburden himself of it. As Tristan recounts the horrific details of what to him became a senseless war, he also speaks of his friendship with Will--from their first meeting on the training grounds at Aldershot to their farewell in the trenches of northern France. The intensity of their bond brought Tristan happiness and self-discovery as well as confusion and unbearable pain.
The Absolutist is a masterful tale of passion, jealousy, heroism, and betrayal set in one of the most gruesome trenches of France during World War I. This novel will keep readers on the edge of their seats until its most extraordinary and unexpected conclusion, and will stay with them long after they've turned the last page.

The Absolutist, 一部讲述关于战争,关于两位年轻的英国士兵之间隐秘恋情,关于勇敢和怯懦、背叛与负疚的故事。买这本书已经一年多,将它放置在书柜里也一年多,在春节期间突然想起来把它当做旅行读物,哪知一读下来就欲罢不能了。结尾的真相来临是如同地动山摇的震惊,脸像是...

评分The feather man,胆小鬼。这部小说的英文名其实不叫The feather man,而是叫The absolutist。小说被归类为“同性小说”,但其实也就是一个战争中的爱情故事。文字上,我觉得非常好,因为足够紧密,足够厚实,叙事令人有很强的代入感,甚至我总是觉得男主人公的思维方式和说话...
评分结局过于烂俗
评分作为一个同样懦弱的随波逐流的人,我不觉得sadler犯大错或者应该羞耻中活一辈子。will说着自己不觉得高人一等,是有原则的人,但他最后说出于可怜才和tris做朋友、几次主动接近之后又作呕疏离,这样的不诚实也矛盾的很。tris需要为没有殉道者的觉悟而负荆一辈子吗?我们不就是普通人吗?
评分能看原版 还是看原版的好 翻译出来的感觉都有不同
评分好久没读这么激动的书了
评分看过的都心碎,心里堵得慌。Wii到底有喜欢过Tristan么?
