THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN is a wonderfully moving fable that addresses the meaning of life, and life after death, in the poignant way that made TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE such an astonishing book. The novel's protagonist is an elderly amusement park maintenance worker named Eddie who, while operating a ride called the 'Free Fall', dies while trying to save a young girl who gets in the way of a falling cart that hurtles to earth. Eddie goes to heaven, where he meets five people who were unexpectedly instrumental in some way in his life. While each guide takes him through heaven, Eddie learns a little bit more about what his time on earth meant, what he was supposed to have learned, and what his true purpose on earth was. Throughout there are dramatic flashbacks where we see scenes from his troubled childhood, his years in the army in the Philippines jungle, and with his first and only love, his wife Marguerite. THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN is the perfect book to follow TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE. Its compellingly affecting themes and lyrical writing will fascinate Mitch Albom's huge readership.
Mitch Albom is the author of the international bestsellers "Tuesdays with Morrie" and "For one more day", as well as six other books. He works as a newpaper columnist and a broadcaster, and serves on numerous charitable boards. He lives with his wife, Janine, in Michigan.
命运是件很奇怪的事. 曾经问过四季豆信不信命.四季豆说信命,但不从命.就好象造化弄人与人弄造化. 但我信命也从命. 《你在天堂里遇见的五个人》讲述退伍老兵,游乐场维修工爱迪,在八十三岁生日那天,为了拯救在突发事故中身处险境的女孩而殒命游乐场。醒来时,爱迪已身处天堂,...
评分导读中写道:“假如你觉得自己满腹经纶,恨不得有一群弟子跟在后头随听随记,再编一部《论语》,这本书可以不看。这本书是写给准备‘听话’而不是‘说话’的人读的。”这样的导读引起了我的好奇心,实在是想看看它到底要“说”什么。 读过类似的一本谈论生死的书名字叫《...
评分我剥开一只大橙子,准备嚼着它“开销”掉面前这部小说。几个小时后那又酸又甜的汁水没能如愿流入喉咙,一点咸涩味道却莫名袭来——脸上有点异样感觉,用手一摸才发现,我已潸然泪下。 让一个大男人动感情不是件容易的事,阿尔博姆的小说却可以。六年前读《相约星期二》时就是这...
评分中国人,有很多忌讳,谈论死,则是传统中的忌讳之最 相反,外国人,倒是乐于把死作为引发教育和自省的重要素材。 最近,有两本关于“死”的书 一本,是《天蓝色的彼岸》,国外人写给小朋友的童话读物,介绍了一个小男孩的死后经历,没有给我留下太多影响 但是这本刚刚读完的《...
评分中国人说至死不渝,放佛死亡意味着一切的终结。所以,听得多的是生的故事,关于死亡大多是恐惧或是悲伤的。 然而,故事从死亡开始,讲述的是一个游乐场维修工爱迪老人在天堂遇到的人和事。蓝皮人、战争中死去的上尉、怨恨纠结的父亲,深爱的妻子,不幸葬身火海的小女孩。这五...
很一般的书。重拾来看还是没能找到任何传说中的狗血情节还有泪点。【摊手
评分No life is a waste. The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.
评分读过中文版
评分邂逅:09年2月某日德里地铁里某个记不得名字的书店; 旅程:2009.5.19-2009.6.2.; 地点:复旦某安静五教教室、上海家中; 过程很好,结局略平。人生意义说教在任何时间任何地点都是必需品。这种说教很必须,但有时也很无聊(尤其是听多了)。好在文笔优美总还是平添了说教的可接受度的。
评分读完以后觉得,也就是这样啊。整本书一个一个stage没一点纵升感。
