Haunted all her life by feelings of terror and emptiness, forty-nine-year-old Urania Cabral returns to her native Dominican Republic - and finds herself reliving the events of l961, when the capital was still called Trujillo City and one old man terrorized a nation of three million. Rafael Trujillo, the depraved ailing dictator whom Dominicans call the Goat, controls his inner circle with a combination of violence and blackmail. In Trujillo's gaudy palace, treachery and cowardice have become a way of life. But Trujillo's grasp is slipping. There is a conspiracy against him, and a Machiavellian revolution already underway that will have bloody consequences of its own. In this 'masterpiece of Latin American and world literature, and one of the finest political novels ever written' ("Bookforum"), Mario Vargas Llosa recounts the end of a regime and the birth of a terrible democracy, giving voice to the historical Trujillo and the victims, both innocent and complicit, drawn into his deadly orbit.

这部书结构设计之用心可以参考豆友NULLAND的评析(http://book.douban.com/review/2683507/)。此君我并不认识,却每每读他的简评,叹为观止。他写过书评的书,我从来不敢再添片语,只为藏拙。这阵子读完《公羊的节日》,再回过头看他给出赞许的五星,忍不住想说点什么...
评分被遮蔽的痛苦 周鸣之 曾听过一个论调,说人在受苦时所能受到的最高级别的安慰,莫过于建议他/她将自身的痛苦还原到历史中去,毕竟我们如今所能承受的苦难形式,先人们都多多少少地领受过了——本来么,痛苦这种决定于基因的东西,很难跳脱出什么新意。尽管如此,我对此论调仍...
评分1、 尾声 “来吧,亲爱的孩子,吃光你盘子里的早餐,然后我们去大街上淋雨,去桥上再看一看这伤痕累累的祖国,我会再想想这里曾经的孱弱和辉煌。这是我毕生之贡献,尽管它看起来有些糟糕。我的生命都从这里开始,我同它一起度过童年;空气里的怪兽编织着情网,我坠入其...
评分1、再次证明好的小说家必须具备扎实的叙事能力。 2、讲故事越来越成为一种技巧。正如苏珊桑塔格得到的那个评价,她的思维方式是可模仿的。那么,本书的叙述方式也是可模仿的叙事方式。 3、写这样的小说,必须具备坚韧不拔的长跑精神。 4、证明加勒比地区的小说,并非只有魔幻一...
很棒 用三个视角讲了一个政治故事
评分It's so heavy that it took me almost a month to finish. A moving attempt to rescue the eternal feminine, the female body that is deemed the condition of possibility for politics and thus rendered mute, without normalizing or merely making it into a symbol of totalitarianism. Llosa is indeed a first-class novelist.
