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.
0724-0802 無論是文字還是書本人都堪稱優美。即使對戰爭的殘酷有所準備,看完之後也不免覺得壓抑。倒因為不是因為戰爭描寫。事實上關於POW的內容並不多,而那些人生的無奈與失落,貫穿著整本書的情緒。
評分邂逅:2015年5月1日央圖; 旅程:2015年5月1日-2015年5月26日; 地點:坡縣、歐洲; Only after I turned over the last page did it suddenly strike me that it has been the best novel I have ever read for nearly two years. The beginning, or indeed the whole plot, was somewhat blatant: war, love, betrayal, prisoner, feeling guilty or the lack of it. But it was an entirely new experien
評分寫得真好
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?
評分不太喜歡這種炫技式故作深沉的文筆。對我來說本書算是普及瞭下泰緬公路的那段曆史,但愛情綫寫得太直男,實在受不瞭。
