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.
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.

評分(发表于《书城》2013年1月号) 温峰宁/文 在小说《英国病人》中,小偷卡拉瓦乔感慨道:“我根本没想到会在这个修道院的废墟里遇到拉迪斯劳斯•德•艾尔麦西伯爵。”——正是在修道院中,护士汉娜,扫雷兵基普还有卡拉瓦乔围绕在英国病人艾尔麦西身边,伴随着他的故事,书...
評分总有一本小说,会让你感受到文字的魅力,却又能让你忘记文字这种形式沉醉其中。会让你享受书中的故事,却又在读后掩卷沉思。 不同国家、职业,性格特异的四个人因为一场战争,而聚集在一座荒废的别墅里,战争虽已远离,却余威犹在,它在每个人身上刻下的都是不动声色却刻骨铭心...
評分昨晚看完了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。...
評分雖然很愛電影,但是跟原著比起來,電影版確實很單薄,強化瞭伯爵和凱瑟琳的愛情故事,而其他角色身上關於戰爭、人性、生命的思考幾乎都沒有瞭。
评分Michael Ondaatje的文字有著相當的荒蕪和疏離感。喜歡。
评分英文很美,和整本小說的主題一樣,帶有現在已經罕見的舊大陸的老派優雅。雖然翻譯們已經盡力瞭,但是原文的美感仍然沒有被完全地發掘。然後我是聽的ralph fiennes的朗誦版,實在是太銷魂瞭。
评分love it
评分"There are betrayals in war that are childlike compared with our human betrayals during peace."
