A divorced, middle-aged English professor finds himself increasingly unable to resist affairs with his female students. When discovered by the college authorities, he is expected to apologise and repent in an effort to save his job, but he refuses to become a scapegoat in what he see as as a show trial designed to reinforce a stringent political correctness. He preempts the authorities and leaves his job, and the city, to spend time with his grown-up lesbian daughter on her remote farm. Things between them are strained - there is much from the past they need to reconcile - and the situation becomes critical when they are the victims of a brutal and horrifying attack. In spectacularly powerful and lucid prose, Coetzee uses all his formidable skills to engage with a post-apartheid culture in unexpected and revealing ways. This examination into the sexual and poliitcal lawlines of modern South Africa as it tries desperately to start a fresh page in its history is chilling, uncompromising and unforgettable.
库切(J. M. Coetzee, 1940―):南非当代著名小说家,自1974年起,先后出版了《幽暗之乡》(Dusklands, 1974)、《国之中心》(In the Heart of the Country: A Novel, 1977)、《等待野蛮人》(Waiting for the Barbarians, 1980)、《迈克尔・K.的生平与时代》(Life and Times of Michael K., 1983;获1983年布克奖)、《敌人》(Foe, 1986)、《铁的时代》(Age of Iron, 1990),以及《彼得堡的主人》(The Master of Petersburg, 1994)等多部小说,被评论界认为是当代南非最重要的作家之一。
库切的“Disgrace”中文版叫做“耻”。虽然简明利落,但读完小说就会发觉这个翻译失却了一点味道,因为小说的点睛之处,就在于“grace”怎样被“Dis(否定)”掉。其落魄之情在书的封面就已经开始。 库切擅长于处理落魄。这本书写的是一个“高贵”的知识分子如何高贵地落魄...
评分俄狄浦斯王的结局众所周知,尽管不情不愿,不可悖逆的命运最终将他引导向毁灭。从三岔路上刺死父亲的那一瞬间开始,某种神谕体系的平衡即被打破,天枰倾斜,审判降临。在库切的《耻》中,生命的天枰也始终处于失衡状态,“耻辱”这一人类精神中极为不堪经验,如同一把匕首,狠...
评分库切,南非当代小说家,诺奖得主。《耻》,可以说是库切最好的小说。 小说的情节并不复杂:南非的白人大学教授卢里,和女学生发生了性关系,被举报后,拒绝妥协,被迫辞职;投奔住在乡下的女儿露茜,经历了女儿被三个黑人抢劫、轮奸、致孕的惨剧,最终在反抗、坚持和妥协中挣...
评分 评分像托馬斯一樣的心甘情願的“墜落”,卻因為發生在現代文明與“原始社會”的夾縫中而含有了加倍壓抑的成份。盧里想以激情為名,逃離現代文明偽善的社會規範和令人窒息的壓抑,卻更不能接受農場上接近土地、缺少法律約束、依靠自然法則的生存——。更要命的是,他缺少真正的拜...
morally gripping and disturbing。。。强烈要求闲下来的时候找读过此书的同学讨论
评分复杂。语言简单,内涵深刻而复杂。它也探讨人或生命存在的意义。We live, in disgrace, in nothingness, and disappear. 男人的欲望也是触及的主题之一。还有南非,南非艰难的社会环境。(我先后这里遇到两个南非同学,一男一女,都是白人,都说毕业后死也不回去)。
评分Quel malheureux...太悲情了,非常同情那个父亲,更加同情那个女儿。南非这个国家实在是太多故事太沉重了。。。
评分喘不过气来。我就是Lurie本人。
评分難受!
