In South of the Border, West of the Sun , the simple arc of a man's life--with its attendant rhythms of success and disappointment--becomes the exquisite literary terrain of Haruki Murakami's most haunting work.
Born in 1951 in an affluent Tokyo suburb, Hajime-- beginning in Japanese--has arrived at middle age wanting for almost nothing. The postwar years have brought him a fine marriage, two daughters, and an enviable career as the proprietor of two jazz clubs. Yet a nagging sense of inauthenticity about his success threatens Hajime's happiness. And a boyhood memory of a wise, lonely girl named Shimamoto clouds his heart.
When Shimamoto shows up one rainy night, now a breathtaking beauty with a secret from which she is unable to escape, the fault lines of doubt in Hajime's quotidian existence begin to give way. And the details of stolen moments past and present--a Nat King Cole melody, a face pressed against a window, a handful of ashes drifting downriver to the sea--threaten to undo him completely. Rich, mysterious, quietly dazzling, South of the Border, West of the Sun is Haruki Murakami's wisest and most compelling fiction.
村上春树(1949- ),日本小说家。曾在早稻田大学文学部戏剧科就读。1979年,他的第一部小说《听风之歌》问世后,即被搬上了银幕。随后,他的优秀作品《1973年的弹子球》、《寻羊冒险记》、《挪威的森林》等相继发表。他的创作不受传统拘束,构思新奇,行文潇洒自在,而又不流于庸俗浅薄。尤其是在刻画人的孤独无奈方面更有特色,他没有把这种情绪写成负的东西,而是通过内心的心智性操作使之升华为一种优雅的格调,一种乐在其中的境界,以此来为读者,尤其是生活在城市里的人们提供了一种生活模式或生命的体验。
第一次看村上是初中的时候看的《挪威的森林》,到现在关于这本书的任何一点细节都回忆不起来了。唯一的印象就是,不怎么喜欢。后来那本书送给了一个从来都不喜欢看书的同学,初中毕业后也就没有了联系,所以那本书也就没了去向。 后来再次开始看村上已经是到了读大学二年级的...
评分 评分第一次看村上春树的《国境以南太阳以西》,是因为被题目所吸引住了。 看着这个题目心中有这很多的疑惑:国境以南是什么?而太阳以西又是什么?而村上为什么把这两样东西放在一起呢?当看完第一遍,感觉就是在听一个叫初君的中年男子在静静的...
评分 评分Life is only meaningful when illusions play with the reality.
评分the story is about a middle-aged man having an extramarital affair with another woman, i would call it a tale.
评分English version is an other world .
评分村上君的书翻成英语简直浑然天成呐
评分其实小时候看过中文版,但是不怎么记得了。读英文版的开头觉得整个文风好亲切,和以前用中文读的村上都有点不一样(每次读英译都有这种感觉)。年龄渐长读书的乐趣竟然多出来一项:重读的时候像从没读过一样。其实和挪威森林气氛差不多,人的孤独和终究莫名妥协掉的爱情。这个阶段村上写的每本书都像是path not taken的他自己。
