Often likened to Kafka's The Castle, The Tartar Steppe is both a scathing critique of military life and a meditation on the human thirst for glory. It tells of young Giovanni Drogo, who is posted to a distant fort overlooking the vast Tartar steppe. Although not intending to stay, Giovanni suddenly finds that years have passed, as, almost without his noticing, he has come to share the others' wait for a foreign invasion that never happens. Over time the fort is downgraded and Giovanni's ambitions fade until the day the enemy begins massing on the desolate steppe...
"Buzzati's take on military matters is ambiguous. He makes much of the elaborate system of passwords at the fort -- a system that leads to one officer's death -- or the coded music of bugle calls, as well as the way in which time itself is stratified and subdivided. . . But if this is satire, it's a satire on us all, conscripted to the fortress of our expectations, hoping by secret signals and the solace of routine to push time back from the battlements, even as they crumble." --Eric Ormsby, NY Sun
Undoubtedly a masterpiece . . . [Buzzati] has brought to life a universal man and cast his being in surrounding which are familiar to us all . . . It is a sublime book and Buzzati a master of the written word. --Sunday Times
迪諾·布紮蒂(Dino Buzzati,1906-1972),20世紀意大利著名作傢,同時也是記者和畫傢。他一生創作頗豐。二戰時曾以特派員身份赴非洲,看到埃塞俄比亞一望無際的荒涼景象後,開始構思《韃靼人沙漠》,1940年齣版,奠定瞭他的文壇地位,被博爾赫斯列入“私人藏書 ”,位居第六。其重要作品還有:《山裏的巴爾納博》《魔法外套》《神秘商店》《瓦爾·莫雷爾的奇跡》等。布紮蒂小說中的荒誕感和存在主義意蘊,讓他常被與卡夫卡、加繆聯係在一起。

鞑靼人沙漠最初的手稿标题是城堡,但是为了避免对已经将要开始的战争的任何影射,出版社将标题改为鞑靼人沙漠。 书中的主人公德罗戈,在年轻的时候被迫派遣到一个边境的城堡中,从最开始的抗拒情绪到后来决定留下来,这个决定虽然看起来很突然,但是和现实中我们大部分人的别无...
評分——“监狱是个怪地方,起先你恨它,然后习惯它,更久后,你不能没有它,这就叫体制化。” 《鞑靼人沙漠》,于1940年首版于意大利。它讲述了年轻的德罗戈的故事。德罗戈从城里出发,前往巴斯蒂亚尼城堡服役。满腔热情的他渴望能够尽快与鞑靼人作战,建立功勋。然而鞑靼人却一直...
評分一個軍人,長駐於國家的邊境,防止韃靼的入侵,滿懷保家國的一腔熱忱,熾熱的心慢慢隨著年月過去而消沉,因為無止境的等待,敵人始終沒有到來。主角不禁想起活著的意義,究竟充滿理想,可是無以投放,應該是要堅持地等待,還是抽身離去?一生人所抱有的信念,如果沒有辦法去...
評分人生无谓、荒诞、冷酷、凄凉,这算不算年华的一种情状?我们在期待里捆缚住自己,在期待破灭之后执迷不悟。人生本来没什么意义,只是因为我们希望活下去,甚至希望活得有一点色彩,才自欺欺人地为自己捏造一些期望。有意义的不是实现期望,而是幻想期望。 和这本书有几分相似的...
