In 1910 a young Englishman, Stephen Wraysford, goes to Picardy, France, to learn the textile business. While there he plunges into a love affair with the young wife of his host, a passion so imperative and consuming that it changes him forever. Several years later, with the outbreak of World War I, he finds himself again in the fields of Picardy, this time as a soldier on the Western Front. A strange, occasionally bitter man, Stephen is possessed of an inexplicable will to survive. He struggles through the hideously bloody battles of the Marne, Verdun, and the Somme (in the last named, thirty thousand British soldiers were killed in the first half hour alone), camps for weeks at a time in the verminous trenches, and hunkers in underground tunnels as he watches many of the companions he has grown to love perish. In spite of everything, Stephen manages to find hope and meaning in the blasted world he inhabits.
Sixty years after war's end, his granddaughter discovers, and keeps, Stephen's promise to a dying man. Sebastian Faulks brings the anguish of love and war to vivid life, and leaves the reader's mind pulsating with images that are graphic and unforgettable.
花一个半月时间看完了《鸟鸣》。书尽管厚,读来却并不沉闷。这还要感谢作者塞巴斯蒂安·福克斯相对通俗的写法,并没有在涉及一战的部分采用宏大叙事,而是把视角转向战争中的人性,写陷于战争中的那些孤独而备受煎熬的灵魂,他们似乎微不足道的苦与乐,他们遥远的希冀与现实的...
评分 评分好厚的一本书。我首先看到的是战争中的人!战场上的杀戮!人性、内心的煎熬!其实,抗日战争中的战士们和小老百姓们是值得国人、史学家、小说家们永远关注研究的,目前,我只看到了《无家》。 小说极力所表现的是对人的爱,而不仅仅是男女的情爱。我看到了人性的光辉!这是基督...
评分寒假看完,无甚印象
评分Stephan的部分文笔情节跟最后孙女Elizabeth的部分差异好大,一战前跟一战的故事都能感动人,但是最后一部分现代的情节感觉有点剥离,跟前面的情节联系感很弱。那些因为各种原因无奈的参与到战争中的年轻人真是太可悲了,在参战的那一刻似乎就失去了自己原本的身份与原本的生活,并且永远也要不回来了。
评分从寒假读到现在终于读完了 不过反正不管放下多久再接着看也不用担心记不住 对一战的认知太少而且缺乏真切的感受 单纯当个故事来读还是不错的 ps sex片段这么描写真的挺好笑的

评分Audiobook read by Samuel West。太蠢了看到SW的朗读就直接买了,完全没注意是删减版……就删减版的内容我只能给两颗星,实在是太无趣了,剧情提不起一点兴趣。太心痛了六个小时打了水漂。
