With only a yellowing photograph in hand, a young man - also named Jonathan Safran Foer - sets out to find the woman who might or might not have saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Accompanied by an old man haunted by memories of the war, an amorous dog named Sammy Davis, Junior, Junior, and the unforgettable Alex, a young Ukrainian translator who speaks in a sublimely butchered English, Jonathan is led on a quixotic journey over a devastated landscape and into an unexpected past.
As their adventure unfolds, Jonathan imagines the history of his grandfather's village, conjuring a magical fable of startling symmetries that unite generations across time. Lit by passion, fear, guilt, memory, and hope, the characters in Everything Is Illuminated mine the black holes of history. As the search moves back in time, the fantastical history moves forward, until reality collides with fiction in a heart-stopping scene of extraordinary power.
An arresting blend of high comedy and great tragedy, this is a story about searching for people and places that no longer exist, for the hidden truths that haunt every family, and for the delicate but necessary tales that link past and future. Exuberant and wise, hysterically funny and deeply moving, EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED is an astonishing debut.
首先要说的是整体书的认真制作,从封面、装帧、版式,到能够还原原文中诙谐气息的翻译,都透着诚意。 这本书,真的是当下难能可贵的一本书,笔法是与众不同的“无厘头”,我读的时候常常一个人捧腹大笑。 关于主题,已经有太多人介绍和评议了,我也就不赘述了。只是希望更多人...

评分也许我该以霍比特人主演的同名电影做个引子,所以我决定写完以下的随笔马上看起来。这样多少也像个引子了,你看如何? 1 从太空中,航天员可以看到人们做爱,如同一个个微小的光点。事实上,那并不是真正的光,而是一种会被误认为光的光芒——那是性交的光辉,历经好几个世...
评分因为还在上学、没有那么多时间看的书、 有时候、笑着笑着便停下来。回忆着便觉得悲伤、 一切都仿佛那么合理、又那么滑稽、总觉得。这书里有什么不一样的力量在驱使着、直指到人们的心灵。 现在的我们、真的很缺爱了。从不了解那些亲情真正的含义、一味的欺骗、虚伪,让人伤...
评分关于乔纳森,本来了解不多. 这本书还好,用很幽默的语言说一个其实很悲哀的故事. 蹩脚的翻译.其实不是我们想的那样.
十年后我想要在任何你在的地方,难道它不是个好主意吗? 这是个非常好的主意,可为什么它只是个主意而已
