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.

評分这本小说以第二次世界大战、阿拉伯大沙漠和古老的意大利遗迹为背景,穿插叙述了两段爱情故事:一个如雄雄烈火,一个如圣洁的泉水。第一种爱情中的恋人既是叛教者又是圣徒,既当祭司又当牺牲品,他们先犯罪后救赎自己;第二种爱情中的恋人纯洁如人类始祖,时间在他们爱情中刻下...
評分原谅我还是翻动了它。它意味着难过,战争,失落,分离。是一切不该发生的。我曾经在回避这本书,担心触犯可怕的事情。在没有开始之前,不允许预言结局。但是那句话,那句话,我还是没有抵挡住,于是陷入其中。我答应过告诉你人如何陷入爱情。她不肯离开他。坚守在他的身边,即...
評分 評分先看了电影,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My constant reading, my constant bleeding.
评分讀到偏結尾處一章內的一句“call me by my name”下意識一愣,閤理懷疑Aciman從Ondaatje這裏偷瞭不少靈感。文字像詩又像散文,卻被最終以小說形式齣版,integration之下不乏肆意浪漫。另外還是要感嘆一句post-war era真是齣傑作的黃金年代啊,戰爭加愛情,輔以藝術傢們的一點纔氣,好故事都被寫盡。
