The Ocean at the End of the Lane pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.
Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie—magical, comforting, wise beyond her years—promised to protect him, no matter what.
A groundbreaking work from a master, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. It is a stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.
I make things up and write them down. Which takes us from comics (like SANDMAN) to novels (like ANANSI BOYS and AMERICAN GODS) to short stories (some are collected in SMOKE AND MIRRORS) and to occasionally movies (like Dave McKean's MIRRORMASK or the NEVERWHERE TV series, or my own short film A SHORT FILM ABOUT JOHN BOLTON).
In my spare time I read and sleep and eat and try to keep the blog at www.neilgaiman.com more or less up to date.
3.5 虽然叙述角度是儿童但是这么黑的细节你确定这个是给孩子看的吗?笔下世界依旧精彩不过因为设定所限所有格局小了很多。三代Hempstock三位一体,祖母,母亲,女儿;过去,现在,未来。生于这个世界,我们只是过客。就像童年那朦胧宏大的冒险,在开出drive way之后,变得再次无法触及。Lattie回归了ocean,而我们,不管怎么尝试,只会记得她去了澳洲。就如同耳朵一边是白色的小黑猫一样,她们是永存的,出现又离开的是我们。

评分海里那段非常美,总感觉那个pond是子宫的隐喻,特别是“So you used to know everything?" "Everybody did."那段。盖曼自己念的有声书小孩子和老太太的声调处理得很好,还献歌两段XDDD
评分第一次在overdrive上面借audiobook。三星半。四天听完开头结尾就还了,看了看本书wiki,发现剧情笔记冗长黑暗,庆幸自己的安排。作者很用心,能感觉真诚、intimate,但是男主太过被动懦弱,没有成长线也没有感情线…
评分开头和中段好过结尾。A page-turner.
1,主角是男孩,第一配角是女孩 vs 主角是女孩,第一配角是公猫 2,主角的父母在情感上疏忽他 vs 主角的父母很忙,疏于照顾她 3,主角不受待见,没朋友 vs 主角刚搬家,没朋友 4,主角经常孤独地沉浸在书本里 vs 主角经常独自游荡 5,奇异的事情是走到车道尽头后发生的 vs ...
评分This is my smallest book, it's my most personal book. But just because it's small, don't let that fool you. There is weirdness and fantasy, there is magic and fear, there is childhood and an awful lot more wrapped up in a tiny package, just in the way that ...
评分这些年下来,尼尔盖曼的书断断续续也看了不少。印象中它们大多是温暖的,这种温暖可以包裹在传说故事中(《星尘》),也可以经由惊悚悬疑的调调慢慢抽丝剥茧引出(《蜘蛛男孩》),甚至可以以哥特的风格呈现出来(《坟场之书》)。题材风格于小说只是一种表现形式,而作者...
评分 评分这是最新一期的译文版的主打长篇。 译文版在长达半年的时间里一直都被我放在洗手间的柜子里,每次如厕的时候拿出来看,看几页放下也不觉得可惜,一个月的时间看完一本然后再看新的,故事也越来越沉闷。直到遇到《车道尽头的海洋》。 盖曼大叔的作品陆陆续续读过一些,但没那一...
