The Ocean at the End of the Lane pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
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.
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…
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。
評分今年的Xmas gift!超驚喜。一拿到就忍不住翻瞭起來,一口氣翻瞭幾十頁覺得這樣下去這麼厚一本應該很快讀完瞭又不捨,於是強令自己減慢速度。。。--果然一個晚上讀完,是248頁啦不是190頁。世界觀設定果然又宏大瞭起來,可是感覺很多東西都沒講清楚。NG 有瞭自己的模闆瞭,看到中間一直忍不住想到卡羅琳的故事。以及他果然是個永遠長不大的,玻璃心的7歲小男孩。
評分雖以七歲孩子視角來寫,不適閤孩童。黑暗無幽默。驚悚瑰麗一如往常。
车道尽头的海洋,直接看名字真不知道什么意思。某次买书看到尼尔盖曼的名字就带回来了,儿子说应该支持姚海军,姚是这套世界奇幻大师丛书的主编。如果我当时看到《坟场之书》《美国众神》可能还是会选更著名的那两本。 书只有220页,开本也不大,方便携带,所以...
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...
評分读的时候不停怀疑“他是不是发挥失常了”“这次写得太平常了”;可当我读完整本合上书那之后的整整一天,都还沉浸在故事的气氛和情绪里无法自拔。不得不说这次的老梗用得非常常规流式化,但是盖曼的本事就是这样的:在最通俗最常见的桥段里细细浸满了悲伤、哀恸、希望、...
評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...
