A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
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.

昨天我半夜終於看完瞭這本書。過去的荒謬配上喜劇的外衣讓人更加心酸瞭。“活下去就是勝利”
評分Good, though not striking. The pain is there but it's too generational to be personal, and Nadia is just too much a cool observer. Nikolai reminds me of Jim Thorne, a borderline eccentric with an appetite for the wonderfully useless knowledges and an almost legendary past, quite likable, while Vera and Valentina poses as such charismatic tigeresses
評分讓人啼笑皆非的傢庭鬧劇,看完卻笑不起來

你还记得上次你读一本第一人称主角是50多岁大妈,又通篇没有表露过“我已经老大不小啦”的小说是什么吗?至少在这本书里,在那个单纯到家的的光头酒保把主角称作“老妖精”之前,我已经好久没意识到这一点了。话说回来,人只有到了50多岁的知天命之年,才能对人生的一切安之若...
評分《乌克兰拖拉机简史》。从未想过这样一本乔装搞笑的书会在阅读到结尾的时候让我热泪盈眶。 这本书让我想起老柴。他1935年出生,18岁的时候,他从成都到青海到杂多最后到了玉树。38岁的时候,他从玉树到了杂多再到了兰州,终于回了成都。48岁的时候,老柴得到了他人生中的第二个...
評分《乌克兰拖拉机简史》以类似黑色幽默的风格,叙述了发生在老夫少妻身上的荒诞故事。作品的最大看点无疑是对苏联、对共产主义的诙谐嘲讽,穿插了拖拉机发展简史、航空事业发展历程,引发了人们对那个时代悲剧的思考,这个写作体例,跟我之前读过的《蚂蚁革命》有异曲同工之妙。...

評分马不停蹄地读着这本《A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian》。课间读,上课前的半个小时也在读,有一次还差点迟到。作者简直有种写侦探小说的节奏感,一点一点地挖着来自过去的线索,终于在第三十章里真相大白。其实从第十三章的结尾处开始,父母隐瞒着Nadia的过去就...
