After crossing oceans, a man and a boy arrive in a new land. Here they are each assigned a name and an age, and held in a camp in the desert while they learn Spanish, the language of their new country. As Simon and David they make their way to the relocation centre in the city of Novilla, where officialdom treats them politely but not necessarily helpfully.
Simon finds a job in a grain wharf. The work is unfamiliar and backbreaking, but he soon warms to his stevedore comrades, who during breaks conduct philosophical dialogues on the dignity of labour, and generally take him to their hearts.
Now he must set about his task of locating the boy's mother. Though like everyone else who arrives in this new country he seems to be washed clean of all traces of memory, he is convinced he will know her when he sees her. And indeed, while walking with the boy in the countryside Simon catches sight of a woman he is certain is the mother, and persuades her to assume the role.
David's new mother comes to realise that he is an exceptional child, a bright, dreamy boy with highly unusual ideas about the world. But the school authorities detect a rebellious streak in him and insist he be sent to a special school far away. His mother refuses to yield him up, and it is Simon who must drive the car as the trio flees across the mountains.
The Childhood of Jesus is a profound, beautiful and continually surprising novel from a very great writer.
J.M.庫切,當代作傢,文學大師,史上獲得最多文學奬項的作傢之一,1940年生於南非開普敦。作品包括《等待野蠻人》《邁剋爾?K的生活和時代》《男孩》《青春》《夏日》《恥》《凶年紀事》等。兩次奪得布剋奬,並於2003年榮獲諾內爾文學奬。
媒體推薦:
J.M.庫切的小說以結構精緻、對話雋永、思辨深邃為特色……對當下西方文明中淺薄的道德感和殘酷的理性主義給予毫不留情的批判。——2003年諾貝爾文學奬授奬詞
這部作品包含庫切對文字一貫嚴苛的精確,他有望成為首位三次奪得布剋奬的偉大作傢。——《觀察傢》
發人深省的小說,對生活的拷問來自內心深處……輕透行文下飽含層層深意。——《愛爾蘭獨立報》
庫切的寓言,帶有卡夫卡的質感……非常吸引人,是庫切這十幾年來最好的作品。——《每日郵報》
"'... Now show us how you write. Write, Conviene que yo diga la verdad, I must tell the truth. Write it. Con-viene.' Writing from left to right, forming the letters clearly if slowly, the boy writes: Yo soy la verdad, I am the truth."
評分啊真是大寫的Boring……Done with 庫切。
評分把David和Jesus比附在一起的努力(building an allegory)就像2+1=3一樣是充滿風險的。Novilla很像科耶夫設想的末日審判之後的世界:人完美地變成瞭理性的動物,動物變成瞭能自由自在/順應本性進行新陳代謝的機器 ← 似乎是個逆轉版本的《宗教大法官》。Jesus-David代錶瞭普遍人性和難以理解的神性的結閤,不通過抽象思考而是在物的singularity中發現totality,他和他的傢庭是對理性至上的世界的挑戰。除瞭對聖經和堂吉訶德的指涉之外,自傳三部麯,慢人,科斯特洛甚至恥裏都有JC的童年的影子。
評分天堂說西班牙 -- 庫切最近齣的"Jesus"三部麯的最後一部The Death of Jesus最先發行的也不是英語而是西班牙語版。這種小說超世的仙氣,最近還是在李翊雲的Where Reasons End 裏纔讀到。

库切一直是小说创作者里的魔术师,因其作品在风格上几乎就从来没有过自我复制。《等待野蛮人》通过一个虚构帝国的老年行政长官背叛国家的军事目的和自身职责,绝漠出塞,帮助一个因军事袭击而后遭受刑讯致残的野蛮人女孩,找回其所属的游牧部落及对应的文化身份的寓言,呈现多...
評分 評分不管怎么解读这个故事,《耶稣的童年》都带着一种隐喻从始至终存在,即便我们不去过于纠缠库切像在其他小说中叠加和强调的那种隐喻,也会对这样一个表面上古怪和建立在虚构时空里的故事多少有点意犹未尽或者似懂非懂。如果说库切是要在《青春》、《童年》、《耻》和《等待野蛮...
評分库切暮年之作,创深巨痛。以寓言之风格,强行携入哲学、宗教之思考,因此,码头上的工人,无不高谈哲学也。故事的核心是幼年大卫,他不知从何而来,不知父母是谁,却具有神秘的魔力,将一切的人物吸引到他的身边。大卫完全沉浸在自己的世界里,他那独特的世界观,显然是对实用...
