The Ocean at the End of the Lane pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 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.
和其他Neil Gaiman的小說比起來,這本不太齣色,筆調總是很陰暗,很奇怪的感覺。
評分尼爾·蓋曼真喜歡寫這種毫·無·背·景·可·言的小說啊,讀者不是想在神話、曆史或者其他作品中找reference嗎?“誒嘿嘿我就是不讓你們找得到~~~” ……= =。不過這本裏對男孩子恐懼心理的描寫真不錯,能讓人有切膚之感。
評分真的還蠻恐怖的情節,跟《鬼媽媽》類似的孩童視角,感覺這部也很適閤拍電影。描寫貓咪的部分很可愛。另外,很喜歡這本書的名字❤ #海豚推薦
評分這次蓋曼叔走的是《奇風歲月》那種緬懷童年的路子,又是一次作者自己“私人化”的文本呈現。思來想去,與這本書比較貼近的舊作大概是《墳場之書》,幾乎沒有典故埋藏在故事裏、奇幻部分的加入又成瞭一種超現實的隱喻。好比《失物之書》裏用臆想來裝點殘酷的戰爭,真實童年裏的灰色記憶則寄托於壞保姆、礦工幽靈、三代魔女、車道盡頭的海洋(bigger on the inside)等意象。美版的封麵文藝又孤獨,中譯本被裝點成一個溫暖的畫片集。西方讀者清一色的好評,我隻是覺得,情懷足矣、卻少瞭一點活潑一份俏皮。一場朦朧又沉重的童夢。
評分第一次在overdrive上麵藉audiobook。三星半。四天聽完開頭結尾就還瞭,看瞭看本書wiki,發現劇情筆記冗長黑暗,慶幸自己的安排。作者很用心,能感覺真誠、intimate,但是男主太過被動懦弱,沒有成長綫也沒有感情綫…
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...
評分译文版又一次让中文读者领先于英文读者,抢先读到了盖曼叔的这本文艺格调翻番的新作。这回的翻译完成得相当漂亮。插画方面也不赖。美版的封面文艺又孤独,中译本的则更子供向一些,被装点成一个温暖的画片集。 内容上,这回盖曼叔走的是罗伯特·麦卡蒙《奇风岁月》那种缅怀童...
評分奇幻大师尼尔盖曼的《车道尽头的海洋》讲的是一个7岁的小男孩的故事。他的童年生活并不幸福。幸亏认识了住在车道尽头那家的女孩莱蒂,才给童年带来一丝亮色。她家后院里有一个小小的水塘,可是莱蒂却坚持说这是一个海洋。莱蒂带他进入到一个奇幻世界历险,却无意中把妖怪带回现...
評分 評分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 ...
