詹妮特·溫特森(1959—)英國當今實力派女作傢,齣生於英國的曼徹斯特,在英格蘭北部蘭開夏郡的阿剋靈頓被收養長大,所受的是刻闆的福音派信教會教育。第一部小說《橘子不是惟一的水果》發錶於1985年,贏得瞭很高的贊譽。其他作品還有《激情》、《性和櫻桃》、《在身體上寫作》、《藝術與謊言》等。《守望燈塔》為其最新力作。
A child born of chance might imagine that Chance was its father, in the way that gods fathered children, and then abandoned them, without a backward glance, but with one small gift. I wondered if a gift had been left for me. I had no idea where to look, or what I was looking for, but I know now that all important journeys start that way. 'Motherless and anchorless, Silver is taken in by the timeless Mr. Pew, keeper of the Cape Wrath lighthouse. Pew tells Silver ancient tales of longing and rootlessness, of ties that bind and of the slippages that occur throughout every life. One life, Babel Dark's, a nineteenth century clergyman, opens like a map that Silver must follow. Caught in her own particular darknesses, she embarks on an Ulyssean sift through the stories we tell ourselves, stories of love and loss, of passion and longing, stories of unending journeys that move through places and times, and the bleak finality of the shores of betrayal. But finally, "I love you. The most difficult words in the world. But what else can I say?" A story of mutability, of talking birds and stolen books, of Darwin and Stevenson and of the Jekyll and Hyde in all of us.
这是游荡在冬日潮湿清晨灵魂的呓语。它告诉你,什么样的人在看另一个人的时候会在他的脸上看到森林和大海。它期待着这样一个结局:当你筋疲力尽,拖着食物回家,胳膊上伤痕累累,而你突然看到了黄色的野花,于是你想也不想地采了它们,不为别的,就因为我爱你。
評分——读詹尼特.温特森的《守望灯塔》 温特森10岁的时候,其笃信宗教的养母督促她去镇上的街角为人讲道,那时候她恍然明白语言具有多大的魔力,直到26岁她的第一部半自传体小说《橙子不是唯一的水果》出版,一举夺得当年“惠特布雷德最佳处女作奖”,她发出一位正在成...
評分 評分在书的背面,有这样几个字来评论本书:“诗一般的语言。” 就是诗。浪漫极了。 书的主人公银儿说:“我曾经是个不可救药的浪漫主义者。我现在仍然是。我曾经相信爱是至高无上的。我现在依然保持着这一信念。我并不指望自己会幸福,也不幻想我会找到爱——不管它意味着什么,或...
評分真正的魔幻现实决不可能被发现在除拉美以外的任何土地上,包括詹妮特温特森的英格兰,以及这个名叫索尔茨的苏格兰海边小镇。 好吧,让我们先不要作任何的辨别,让我们来讲故事吧,让我用我的生活来讲一个重新开始的故事,一个我不知道的故事吧!或者让我们叫它们寓言,关于爱...
太浪漫瞭
评分洗版過程中發現對這部的愛超過瞭激情。陽光透過皮歐和多吉,又是新的一天。我愛你。
评分I'll call you, and we'll light a fire, and drink some wine, and recognize each other in the place that is ours. Don't wait. Don't tell the story later. Life is so short. This stretch of sea and sand, this walk on the shore, before the tide covers everything we have done. I love you. The three most difficult words in the world. But what else can
评分短篇,一天之內可以讀完的一本書。相比之前度過的beautifl mind, 這本書的用詞簡單很多,因為沒有查很多次的字典。但是我讀不懂。對我來說這是一本古怪的書(因為我讀書太少),前一段落講的是Babel Dark, 後一段突然會講到到Pew和我的生活,中間沒有明顯的承上啓下。後半部分一直到最後Silver與Pew重逢,她對他說"I love you",作者想要錶達的留給我的是個問號。不過文章裏麵有很多很有哲學的句子,比如Why was money worth everything when you had none of it, and nothing when you had too much? 再比如Home is where heart is...
评分A short and beautiful story. The original one maintains more sentiment and blandness.
