The final curtain is closing on the Second World War, and Hana, a nurse, stays behind in an abandoned Italian villa to tend to her only remaining patient. Rescued by Bedouins from a burning plane, he is English, anonymous, damaged beyond recognition and haunted by his memories of passion and betrayal. The only clue Hana has to his past is the one thing he clung on to through the fire? a copy of The Histories by Herodotus, covered with hand-written notes describing a painful and ultimately tragic love affair.
Philip Michael Ondaatje, CC FRSL (born 12 September 1943), is a Sri Lanka-born Canadian poet, fiction writer, essayist, novelist, editor and filmmaker. He is the recipient of multiple literary awards such as the Governor General's Award, the Giller Prize, the Booker Prize, and the Prix Médicis étranger. Ondaatje is also an Officer of the Order of Canada, recognizing him as one of Canada's most renowned living authors. Ondaatje's literary career began with his poetry in 1967, publishing The Dainty Monsters, and then in 1970 the critically acclaimed The Collected Works of Billy the Kid. However, he is more recently recognized for his nationally and internationally successful novel The English Patient (1992), which was adapted into a film in 1996. In 2018, Ondaatje won the Golden Man Booker Prize for The English Patient. In addition to his literary writing, Ondaatje has been an important force in "fostering new Canadian writing" with two decades commitment to Coach House Press (around 1970-90), and his editorial credits on Canadian literary projects like the journal Brick, and the Long Poem Anthology (1979), among others.
昨晚看完了The English Patient的最后一章。果然周五的晚上不能耗在网上,还是得干点有意义的事情,第二天才不会觉得浪费了人生。 怎么说呢,其实有点失望。看的过程之中经常被语句和气氛给吸引,搞得有点小欲罢不能,但是整个读完之后却没有什么特别的感觉,只记得写得很美。...
评分先看了电影,如今情节已经模糊,只记得和看《教父》的感觉很像,前面漫长的铺垫让人有些不耐,看着看着,不知在哪个点就沉沦了,如书中所言,被“拽入”那口“记忆之井”,越潜越深,不愿出来。 一两年后再读小说,又是很不同的体验。 小说的语言非常美,想象力四溢的芬芳恰...

评分很早的时候看了电影,当时对最后凯瑟琳的信印象很深刻。十一放假前图书馆溜了一圈时看到,高三兵荒马乱,我还是狠下心借来看完了。高三是紧张,电影反成了释放压力的方式,书倒是越看越少了。 看的时候经常就会显现电影的片段。比如风扇的转动,昏黄被切割的光。原本只是自我想...
毫无疑问这是一本美丽的小说,比电影更加迷人
评分刚开始读的时候,大量的不完整句让我很不适应,有时候甚至不知主语是谁。但是继续读下去,就会发现这种语言带有诗性之美,就像书中不断出现的英国病人所爱的诗一样。作者塑造得最丰满的人物是Kip,那些拆弹的细节,他骑着摩托落进水中钻上来大口呼吸空气的情景,都让人有身临其境的感觉;而英国病人的故事虽然也占了不少篇章,即使作者细致地描写了他在沙漠洞穴中灿烂的壁画的包围中为凯瑟琳化妆,我还是觉得这个过去式的故事显得有些obscure。小说的最后Kip意识到自己多年来都在一块与自己不相干的土地上为一群不相干的人扫雷,在西方世界轰炸了他所属的亚洲时,他与其他三人的矛盾爆发,选择了出走,这更让我意识到原来小说的主线并不是英国病人的不伦恋情。而电影里的Kip,竟像书中被白种人世界忽视一样成为配角,简直令人苦笑。
