Kazuo Ishiguro was born in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1954 and moved to Britain at the age of five. He is the author of four previous novels, including The Remains of the Day, an international bestseller that won the Booker Prize and was adapted into an award-winning film. Ishiguro's work has been translated into twenty-eight languages. In 1995, he received an Order of the British Empire for service to literature, and in 1998 was named a Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government. He lives in London with his wife and daughter.
From the Booker Prize-winning, bestselling author of Remains of the Day comes this stunning work of soaring imagination.
Born in early-twentieth-century Shanghai, Banks was orphaned at the age of nine after the separate disappearances of his parents. Now, more than twenty years later, he is a celebrated figure in London society; yet the investigative expertise that has garnered him fame has done little to illuminate the circumstances of his parents' alleged kidnappings. Banks travels to the seething, labyrinthine city of his memory in hopes of solving the mystery of his own, painful past, only to find that war is ravaging Shanghai beyond recognition-and that his own recollections are proving as difficult to trust as the people around him.
Masterful, suspenseful and psychologically acute, When We Were Orphans offers a profound meditation on the shifting quality of memory, and the possibility of avenging one’s past.
童年是什么?有时候是缺失记忆,有时候是重新构建,有时候是堆砌梦境,不论今后的人生会变成怎样,它在心底,一直牢牢盘踞。 “我们一旦长大成人,儿时就变得像另外一个国度”。在这里,懵懂的喜乐,懵懂的悲伤,终究在离开这个国度以后用后面的人生来解释偿还。 故事的背景是1...
评分正值考研失败,感受着努力未曾得到回报的痛苦。连着去了四天的校招,越来越迷茫、越来越不甘。我和别人说,不用担心,我有给自己做好心理建设,考研失败了嘛就找工作啊,又不是只有一条路。我可以找个普通工作,朝九晚五,给自己做饭、整理屋子、读读书、周末和朋友逛街小聚、...
评分《我辈孤雏》推荐: 非常精彩!这部小说是石黑一雄的第五部长篇小说,也是我自从被他的《被掩埋的巨人》圈粉之后看的第六本石黑的作品,对于他这样一个非常低产的作家来说,能做到每部作品都能保持如此高的水准,足以看出石黑对于文学创作的态度和野心(绝不流于用数量来博关注...
评分 评分《我辈孤雏》,一本有着极佳名字的书。但是看完并不会让人心旷神怡,甚至还会有一种挥之不去的忧国忧民的悲伤。 从伦敦到上海,我不知道1937年的上海到底什么样子,所以我不知道石黑一雄是否描述准确。但是读起来,我总觉得有一种魔幻,一种无法置信的抗拒感,或者有好像哪里不...
跟上海不期而遇了。
评分前半部非常好,到了重返上海找父母,在战争前线穿过那些平民窟的部分真是让我又想到了前部作品《无可慰藉》,那种卡夫卡的诡异迷宫。好在结尾部分回复正常,精彩的收尾并切题when we were orphans!

评分观望/额,不太感冒。不喜欢这本书。触动我的地方有两个,一个是Banks和Sarah暧昧不明准备私奔,一个是Banks和Akira在战场的那几句话。说实在的,整本书的结构都不如这几处写得精彩。不如A Pale View of Hills.
评分每一部小说都能拍成一部电影~看他的书 脑子里就是很多电影长镜头 在每一个描述美好回忆细节的同时 隐隐感觉到日后发现真相时的痛苦和震惊!
