Book Description
A chance meeting on the Fijian island of Taveuni is the trigger for a fascinating and mysterious novel that intertwines the stories of John Spooke, an English author who is grieving for his dead wife; Frank Andersen, a Norwegian evolutionary biologist estranged from his wife Vera; and an enigmatic Spanish couple, Ana and Jose, who are absorbed in their love for each other. Their stories are so strewn with mysteries and illusions that it is hard to say where one ends and the next begins, or if the accounts the characters give of themselves can be believed. Why does Ana bear such a close resemblance to the model for Goya's famous Maja paintings? What is the significance of the Joker as he steps out of his pack of cards? As the action moves from Fiji to Spain, from the present to the past, unfolding further stories within the stories, the novel reveals an astonishing richness and complexity. Maya debates and unravels the questions that give meaning to the lives of the characters – and to our own. At the same time it explores our ideas of the necessity for love. As bold and imaginative in its sweep as Sophie's World, it shows again that Jostein Gaarder's unique and special gift is to make us wonder at the awe-inspiring mystery of the universe.

原本还以为,“oh yeah!Jostein Gaarder终于出新书了!”,却在看序的第一句的时候(“经过一百五十亿年的等待,我终于要动笔写这篇文章了。”)开始有种似曾相识的感觉。 看到下面对这个故事的简介时终于发现,这本书我看过的!!!初中时就看过的!但好像译名不一样。来豆...
評分 評分感觉有必要说明一下我对此书的评价。 一般贾德先生的书,我总能在其中看到许多自己;因而总爱不释手,更不可能给出四星以下的评价。这本自不例外——就分号之前的半句而言。然,恕我直言,这本书的翻译实在让人受不了。 不是措辞的问题——事实上许多修辞我认为译得非常不错。 ...
評分一 《玛雅》尽管不像《苏菲的世界》那样直接介绍哲学家的思想,却以悬疑丛生的情节和生物学知识的框架,渗透了深深的哲学思考。这样一本书在大陆却只得到了叫好不叫座的命运,不知道究竟是昆仑出版社的原因,还是因为真的晦涩,只有“具备成熟思考能力的人阅读”(傅佩荣,2001...
