凱特•阿特金森(Kate Atkinson):英國著名暢銷小說作傢,先後榮獲南岸藝術文學奬,科斯塔奬,Waterstone年度作者,2013年憑藉超級暢銷書《生命不息》紅遍全球。該書2013年4月在英美同步上市,空降各大暢銷書榜NO.1,被《紐約時報》《時代周刊》《華盛頓郵報》等20多傢媒體評選為“2013年度最佳圖書”,被美國亞馬遜編輯評選為“100本人生必讀書”之一,也是英國2013年最暢銷的長篇小說。
《生命不息》帶領讀者跟隨女主角厄蘇拉的腳步,看她如何在上世紀動蕩的年代裏,一遍又一遍活過自己的人生。作者阿特金森藉由這個故事讓我們見證,即使在最黑暗荒蕪的時刻依舊有溫暖的存在,並且透過她絕妙的敘事與描繪能力,帶我們重返過去。這部小說頌贊瞭並存於人類中最光明美善與最醜陋不堪的麵嚮,是阿特金森筆下最深刻且最具想象力的一部作品。
What if you could live again and again, until you got it right?
On a cold and snowy night in 1910, Ursula Todd is born to an English banker and his wife. She dies before she can draw her first breath. On that same cold and snowy night, Ursula Todd is born, lets out a lusty wail, and embarks upon a life that will be, to say the least, unusual. For as she grows, she also dies, repeatedly, in a variety of ways, while the young century marches on towards its second cataclysmic world war.
Does Ursula's apparently infinite number of lives give her the power to save the world from its inevitable destiny? And if she can -- will she?
Darkly comic, startlingly poignant, and utterly original -- this is Kate Atkinson at her absolute best.
《黑衣人3》里有个可以预知未来的外星人,他脑中的世界并不是单一的,而是由多重空间复合而成。他能看得到一个生命的诞生,也看得出生命诞生背后有多少迷样的巧合。好莱坞总是偏重这样的故事,特别偏爱这种跨越时空的重叠。好像《时间旅行者》中不断穿梭的男人,或者是《源代...

评分Time isn't circular; it's like a palimpsest.
评分前麵很不錯,到後來有些拖
评分生生不息的輪迴,卻總也繞不過的生離死彆~就算如九尾狐再活多少遍,生命中的遺憾也總是難以修復或以新的形式齣現,叫我們痛苦或遺憾~“人不可能同時踏入兩條河流”,所以對於我們隻有今世來說,就盡力地不留遺憾吧
评分I had high hopes for this book, but sadly it didn't work for me (it's more personal and the hiatus didn't help). However, I do admire Atkinson's ability to weave such a grand story with skill and precision. Reincarnation is not an easy subject to write about since it's very easy to make readers feel "gimmicky". Also a vivid portrait of the family.
