From the celebrated author of Raise the Red Lantern comes a spellbinding novel about life in the imperial court of a child emperor In this chilling yet enormously entertaining tale by acclaimed Chinese writer Su Tong, a pampered and naïve 14-year-old prince finds himself, suddenly and unexpectedly, named Emperor and placed in the position of lord and ruler over an entire nation. A boy of few talents and limited interests, he soon grows drunk on his own power and learns to wield an iron fist in dealing with subjects inside and outside the palace. Narrated in retrospect by the ex-Emperor, this is a mesmerizing story of cruelty and decadence, of concubines and eunuchs, of lethal imperial rivalries and royal court intrigue. Su Tong is one of the most celebrated Chinese writers today. The New York Times calls him "an imaginative and skillful storyteller." The publication of this book -- his first in almost ten years -- was an international literary event. His innovative, deftly constructed novels remain at the forefront of a growing body of work by a coterie of writers who have exposed new facts about China’s past and posed vital questions regarding the country’s future.

评分 评分读苏童,是适合在一个阴雨的天气中的。这氛围正契合了他的文字。苏童的文字是水做的,柔而媚。我想,读他的小说是应该关掉灯,点一枚蜡烛,和着摇曳而暧昧的烛火。他的文字刻着抹不掉的江南梅雨的气质,潮湿而阴冷。如果问我他的文字是什么颜色的,我要说应该是蓝色和黑色相见...
评分绳索、论语、诗歌、鸟、“亡”、预言、黑豹皇冠……每一个元素都有自己的生命力,以至于阅读到后面的篇章时,每一个字每一句话都带着沉重的感觉,看似简单的字背后有着各种角度和味道,这些内涵包容在其中,以简单的形式输出,好似挖不完自己,也挖不完这本书里的人。 作者:苏...
