An extraordinary new novel from the author of Never Let Me Go and the Booker Prize-winning The Remains of the Day.
"You've long set your heart against it, Axl, I know. But it's time now to think on it anew. There's a journey we must go on, and no more delay . . ."
The Buried Giant begins as a couple set off across a troubled land of mist and rain in the hope of finding a son they have not seen in years.
Sometimes savage, often intensely moving, Kazuo Ishiguro's first novel in nearly a decade is about lost memories, love, revenge, and war.
KAZUO ISHIGURO was born in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1954 and moved to Britain at the age of 5. He is the author of 6 novels: A Pale View of Hills (1982, Winifred Holtby Memorial Prize), An Artist of the Floating World (1986, Whitbread Book of the Year Award, Premio Scanno, shortlisted for the Booker Prize), The Remains of the Day (1989, winner of the Booker Prize), The Unconsoled (1995, winner of the Cheltenham Prize), When We Were Orphans (2000, shortlisted for the Booker Prize) and Never Let Me Go (2005, Corine Internationaler Buchpreis, Serono Literary Prize, Casino de Santiago European Novel Award, shortlisted for the Booker Prize). Nocturnes (2009), his connected stories collection, was awarded the Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa International Literary Prize. In 1995 Ishiguro received an OBE for Services to Literature and in 1998 the French decoration of Chevalier de L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
讨论记忆和历史、记忆和个人之间关系的文本总是令我着迷。 《巨人》这本小说在情节的发展上并非收敛,而是发散的。但我发现这种发散并没有令人不快,也不会使人产生质疑,以为作者在写到一半时自己分了心。在经过短暂的屠龙过后,意外聚在一起的人又立刻四散,奔向各自的命运。...

石黑一雄2015年的作品The Buried Giant《被埋葬的巨人》,选取了英国古代亚瑟王统治刚结束的时期。使用了魔幻小说的风格加上他一贯讲故事的技巧。故事中心人物是一对老年夫妇,备受记忆与失忆(memory and loss是作家小说沿用的一个主题)的困扰。在这对夫妇的旅途上他们遇到神秘的摆渡人,食人魔,妖精,巨龙以及屠龙骑士,在模糊的记忆边缘,他们相互提醒要记得走过的路,以及他们在寻找什么。对历史冤屈的忘记预示着新的暴行的到来,也是在末尾屠龙阶段石黑一雄想要表达的东西之一。
评分从英国带回来的生日礼物,很喜欢
评分和前几本书不一样,依旧讲回忆,但不是通过第一人称,而是多角度第三人称叙述交叉,而且是个奇幻历史故事。个人和民族应该如何面对伤痕累累的过去?在今天这个分裂的世界尤其有现实意义。Gawain骑士活出了《长日留痕》里英国人的那种尊严。Axl和Beatrice相伴一生真动人啊,老了的爱情希望是这样的。(好的小说要有很细致、丰富的细节描写,动作、场景有画面感。)
评分To answer the boatman’s question: 如果他們兩個在迷霧散開之後還能並肩前行才是真正的愛啊。
评分极度沉闷,每隔半页就会走神,除了真爱粉应该没谁看得下去==景色描写历历在目般真实,还是自带电影长镜头那种。对他人心理一如既往的明察秋毫,这个人这么会ruminating,为什么没得抑郁至今仍是个谜=..=
