Shortlisted for the 2014 Man Booker Prize
A novel of the cruelty of war, and tenuousness of life and the impossibility of love.
Richard Flanagan's story — of Dorrigo Evans, an Australian doctor haunted by a love affair with his uncle's wife — journeys from the caves of Tasmanian trappers in the early twentieth century to a crumbling pre-war beachside hotel, from a Thai jungle prison to a Japanese snow festival, from the Changi gallows to a chance meeting of lovers on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Taking its title from 17th-century haiku poet Basho's travel journal, The Narrow Road To The Deep North is about the impossibility of love. At its heart is one day in a Japanese slave labour camp in August 1943. As the day builds to its horrific climax, Dorrigo Evans battles and fails in his quest to save the lives of his fellow POWs, a man is killed for no reason, and a love story unfolds.
Richard Flanagan (born 1961) is an author, historian and film director from Tasmania, Australia. He was president of the Tasmania University Union and a Rhodes Scholar. Each of his novels has attracted major praise. His first, Death of a River Guide (1994), was short-listed for the Miles Franklin Award, as were his next two, The Sound of One Hand Clapping (1997) and Gould's Book of Fish (2001). His earlier, non-fiction titles include books about the Gordon River, student issues, and the story of conman John Friedrich.
Two of his novels are set on the West Coast of Tasmania; where he lived in the township of Rosebery as a child. Death of a River Guide relates to the Franklin River, Gould's Book of Fish to the Macquarie Harbour Penal Station, and The Sound of One Hand Clapping to the Hydro settlements in the Central Highlands of Tasmania.
最近正在試圖讀些當代小說作為調劑.......歡迎推薦...
評分這是有真正原創性的作品,而不僅是把當下小說的通行範式打磨到極緻,所以有許多讓人覺得奇怪彆扭粗糙的地方,但隻有這樣的作品纔可能在很多年後留下來。我很希望這本書可以留下來,無論文學史怎麼寫,那場太少被提起的戰爭至少會被記住。
評分“And yet, when called upon, he- this soft-eyed boy with the lamp- he too would kill brutally and in turn be killed. “ 讀最後一章的時候淚止不住的流。或許是我纔疏學淺,隻覺得至今讀過的印象最深刻的、在我心裏最偉大的佳作都或誕生於或基於最苦痛、最黑暗的曆史。我也始終認為文學最本質的意義應該是記錄一代人的記憶。但當那個時代的人們漸漸從我們身邊離去,象徵著那個時代的作品大多已經在文學史上收獲瞭重要的位置,我們這一代人又將為後世留下什麼呢?又有什麼樣的作品足夠承載我們的共同記憶呢?
評分這本紙質書已經買瞭有小幾個月瞭。最初看瞭一會,覺得沒啥意思,就一直擱置至今。今天正好狀態對頭,撿起來就杯咖啡就看進去瞭。我發現,要解碼此書並不容易,需要精力集中並且狀態對頭。否則,書中文字看起來就是亂碼。豐富的細節以神經質的方式突嚕齣來,形神一體,關鍵是怪異。字不夠不說瞭。

克里斯托弗·衣修伍德说这是场考验。他十分着迷于一种念头,就是他那一代的男子生得太晚,没能参加大战,也就没能经历强加于他们父辈的那种男性成人礼。1915年衣修伍德十岁,他的父亲、职业军人弗兰克·衣修伍德死在法国战场上。这对他产生了极深的影响。男性气概的考验,对他...
評分 評分不快乐的人除了过去一无所有。 这是埃文斯的回忆之书。在虚构里展现非虚构,弗兰纳根给读者描绘了我们经常会忽视的一部分人——战俘。关于二战时期澳大利亚人的故事我们听得可能不多,它丰富了我们对此的知识。 小林一茶的俳句串起了二战中澳大利亚籍战俘的肖像画,加害者与受...
評分 評分今天读了230页英文小说,读完了《深入北方的小路》(the narrow road to the deep north),此书是2014年的布克奖获奖作品; 布克奖评委们认为此书是布克奖颁奖史上难得的经典作品(masterpiece),读完此书我认为这种评价完全合情合理,在我看来此书在某种程度上可以用"伟大"...
