Jonathan Safran Foer emerged as one of the most original writers of his generation with his best-selling debut novel, Everything Is Illuminated. Now, with humor, tenderness, and awe, he confronts the traumas of our recent history. What he discovers is solace in that most human quality, imagination. Meet Oskar Schell, an inventor, Francophile, tambourine player, Shakespearean actor, jeweler, pacifist, correspondent with Stephen Hawking and Ringo Starr. He is nine years old. And he is on an urgent, secret search through the five boroughs of New York. His mission is to find the lock that fits a mysterious key belonging to his father, who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11. An inspired innocent, Oskar is alternately endearing, exasperating, and hilarious as he careens from Central Park to Coney Island to Harlem on his search. Along the way he is always dreaming up inventions to keep those he loves safe from harm. What about a birdseed shirt to let you fly away? What if you could actually hear everyone's heartbeat? His goal is hopeful, but the past speaks a loud warning in stories of those who've lost loved ones before. As Oskar roams New York, he encounters a motley assortment of humanity who are all survivors in their own way. He befriends a 103-year-old war reporter, a tour guide who never leaves the Empire State Building, and lovers enraptured or scorned. Ultimately, Oskar ends his journey where it began, at his father's grave. But now he is accompanied by the silent stranger who has been renting the spare room of his grandmother's apartment. They are there to dig up his father's empty coffin.
本书确实是特别响:每个人都在不停的说,说,说。祖父写给未见面儿子的信,每一篇都不分段。祖母写给奥斯卡的信,左边对齐且几乎一行一句。奥斯卡的自叙中穿插着一段段纯粹的对话。 拼图式写作:本书的三个叙述者——祖父母与奥斯卡都只写出他们所见到的部分,且祖父母的书信...
评分书中的小男孩最后走出了困境。我想,读书的人在和书中人物一起旅行过一段时间后,大概也会找到办法面对过往的伤痛。死去的人肯定会希望活着的人过得好。而活着的人应该珍惜生命,好好善待亲人和朋友。 这本书写得挺美的。结构虽然有点复杂但读起来并不困难(感觉也是...
评分这是“9•11”当天,奥斯卡的父亲给奥斯卡的电话留言,父亲第六次打来时,奥斯卡其实在电话旁,但他没听,“我就是没办法让自己拿起电话”。这可能是人面对极端情况时很正常的反应。这可能也是他在父亲去世后那么悲痛的一个原因。所以他会那么疯狂地寻找与父亲有关的那把锁,...
评分Jonathan的老师,才是真心牛。。这个电影我还没看,一定很棒。
评分比电影好
评分I cried when reading this book.
评分he definitely uses way too much "crack up" and "heavy shoes".
评分时差还没倒清楚,早上五点就睡不着,还是慢慢把书看完了。书跟电影真是差大发了……完全就是两个东西……看书的时候真的也泪目了,却不是全因为小男孩。奶奶和renter的故事写的太好了,电影完全可以展现出更多的
