玛琳娜•柳薇卡(Marina Lewycka) 二战结束时出生于德国基尔(Kiel)的难民营,父母均为乌克兰人。她在英国长大成人。在谢菲尔德哈勒姆大学任教。已婚,女儿已长大成人,居住在谢菲尔德。
For years, Nadezhda and Vera, two Ukrainian sisters, raised in England by their refugee parents, have had as little as possible to do with each other - and they have their reasons. But now they find they'd better learn how to get along, because since their mother's death their aging father has been sliding into his second childhood, and an alarming new woman has just entered his life. Valentina, a bosomy young synthetic blonde from the Ukraine, seems to think their father is much richer than he is, and she is keen that he leave this world with as little money to his name as possible.If Nadazhda and Vera don't stop her, no one will. But separating their addled and annoyingly lecherous dad from his new love will prove to be no easy feat - Valentina is a ruthless pro and the two sisters swiftly realize that they are mere amateurs when it comes to ruthlessness. As Hurricane Valentina turns the family house upside down, old secrets come falling out, including the most deeply buried one of them all, from the War, the one that explains much about why Nadazhda and Vera are so different. In the meantime, oblivious to it all, their father carries on with the great work of his dotage, a grand history of the tractor.
这本书的评,思郁兄《幽默的苦难》一文,最为精彩,很有感触。我只选了一个小角度——父亲前后的两个女人,从小说人物的层面,做了微小解读,算是剧透,供方家一笑。 这本小说里有两个关键人物:死了两年的母亲和性感的乌克兰女郎,她们都是父亲的女人,代表了乌克兰的前世和...
评分 评分玛琳娜•柳薇卡(Marina Lewycka)4岁时写下了人生的第一首诗,是关于小兔子的;二十多年之后,她的诗第一次登上一本杂志,那时她28岁。又过了三十年,她终于有作品再次发表,这时她58岁。 这次是一部小说,名叫——有评论说作者为这本书起了一个最勇敢的名字——《乌克兰拖...
评分文/陈嫣婧 刊于《南方都市报》2012-02-26 我是真心喜欢柳薇卡的《乌克兰拖拉机简史》。现总结出喜欢它的理由如下: 一、它不属于类型小说,你很难评判它通俗还是高雅,要说纯文学,它还不够阳春白雪,要说通俗小说,它又不乏那么点高傲的心气,如果你要把她放在书架上归类...
评分第245页,倒数第二行—— “我女儿瓦伦蒂娜。她是个社会工作者。” 虽然说这里面的名字不怎么记,但是他女儿的名字不应该叫“娜迪娅”或者“娜杰日达”么?“瓦伦蒂娜”不是他那个大乳乌克兰女郎的名字么? 我倒还真是因为书名字面上的含义对这本书感兴趣的,没想到只是一部小...
真不愧是文艺青年狂热推崇的书啊,写的真好。虽是小说,技巧上堪称非虚构写作范本。
评分看了前10页,so far so good. 赶我不惑的时候, 也就老父亲的一般等价物写点什么。
评分昨天我半夜终于看完了这本书。过去的荒谬配上喜剧的外衣让人更加心酸了。“活下去就是胜利”
评分我最喜欢的角色其实是Vera 像valentina这样的人最终的结局应该是很悲惨的 我觉得作者他爸一直都是疯的
评分不是农业科技书><。东欧前xx阵营人民的黑色幽默移民史,某些地方会有共鸣。另外,乌克兰国旗的颜色是天空和大地,啊朴实的解释。
