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.
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...
評分看完这本书之前,都不知道翁达杰原来属于小众作家。因为他诗性的写作,在正文叙述中夹杂很多史料,零碎的片段,经典名著引用。需要完全集中的精力和完全放松的身心,才能够有跟上翁达杰的笔耕漫游。 我爱这本小说,因为我一直在猜错。女主角,错。男主角,错。以为的洛丽塔之...
評分" She picks up the notebook that lies on the small table beside his bed...she begins to read his small gnarled handwriting." 总是在书的扉页写点什么,潦草的,小小的字母,或名字。别人不会知道那是什么。本子里画着写着什么,书页之间夹着古石洞里临摹的图案,...
真的非常非常打動人,電影弱化瞭Caravaggio和Kip,不過原著中我更喜歡Caravaggio,感覺他像一根故事的引綫,每個人物性格都很鮮明,我喜歡艾瑪殊最後在沙漠裏麵對愛人死亡時的那段描述。

评分終於讀完瞭,正好是大太陽曬的下午。
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。
