On a misty London afternoon in 1886, piano tuner Edgar Drake receives a strange request from the War Office: he must leave his wife, and his quiet life in London, to travel to the jungles of Burma to tune a rare Erhard grand piano. The piano belongs to Surgeon-Major Anthony Carroll, an enigmatic British officer, whose success at making peace in the war-torn Shan States is legendary, but whose unorthodox methods have begun to attract suspicion. So begins the journey of the soft-spoken Edgar across Europe, the Red Sea, India, Burma, and at last into the remote highlands of the Shan States. En route he is entranced by the Doctor's letters and by the shifting cast of tale-spinners, soldiers and thieves who cross his path. As his captivation grows, however, so do his questions: about the Doctor's true motives, about an enchanting and elusive woman who travels with him into the jungle, about why he came. And, ultimately, whether he will ever be able to return home unchanged to the woman who awaits him there ...Sensuous and lyrical, rich with passion and adventure, "The Piano Tuner" is an unforgettable and haunting novel.

1. 我几乎已能背出小说的开始:“在转瞬即逝的回顾中,记忆里关于缅甸的印象,首先是太阳和一个女人的遮阳伞。他不知道会留下哪些景象——暴风骤雨过后蜿蜒流淌的咖啡色萨尔温江,黎明前渔网的栅栏式结构,地上盛开的郁金香,丛林里悲泣的枝蔓。......” 很难理解,何以对...
评分无处不在的香料,静好的木瓜树,金光闪闪的庙宇,脱了靴子后湿润的地板带来的清凉,涂着厚厚的特纳卡的优雅女子,史诗般的约克特皮威,当然,还有那架独自漂流在雨夜的缅甸丛林里的埃拉尔钢琴,雨点击打着桃花心木,湍流中的琴声不成曲调,就像那些用竹片奏出的神秘掸族...
评分前半篇说实话没有什么感觉 景色描色很迷人 文风没什么特别 想象力确是丰富 船上老者的故事引人回味 后面真的比较精彩 太多传说故事,看似只不过是人们的想象而已,细细想来又那么有哲理 话说 十二平均律 真的非凡 “我的同伴往前走,一会儿,遇到了食莲人,这些食莲人到也没有...
