In this bestselling and “charming debut” (People) from one of Sweden’s most successful authors, a grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door.
Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him “the bitter neighbor from hell.” But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time?
Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to their very foundations.
A feel-good story in the spirit of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand, Fredrik Backman’s novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others. “If there was an award for ‘Most Charming Book of the Year,’ this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down” (Booklist, starred review).
弗雷德里克•巴克曼
瑞典著名80后博主、专栏作家,近五年来瑞典最成功的作家,著有《我奶奶让我告诉你她很抱歉》《一个叫欧维的男人决定去死》等。后者是他的处女作,为瑞典头号畅销书,已被翻译超过25种语言。
在读这本书的时候,我有两次坐过站,两次乘上反方向的地铁。 感激这个版本没有在后面硬加上“决定去死”。感动终于有一本人类肉翻而不是google代译的外国小说——虽然过于走年轻向而流于轻佻,比如使用“欧吉桑”这样的词。感谢巴克曼写出这么细致的人物——虽然也有OOC的情节...
评分文图 / 左叔 这是我读过的瑞典作家弗雷德里克·巴克曼的第四本书,相较于此前读过的《熊镇》、《熊镇2:我们对抗你们》以及《长长的回家路》那三本,我更偏爱这本《一个叫欧维的男人》的“母题”:孤独、告别以及爱。 故事铺陈的很好,在文本脉络上采用的是现实与过往相交织的...
评分 评分I'm a wee bit jealous of Ove.
评分读到一本好的小说的感觉真好。幽默的最高境界也许就是笑中带泪。搞笑之余却让你感动得哭成狗。这是瑞典一位博主写的关于一个叫Ove的非常有原则的臭脾气的怪老头的故事。怪老头失去了他的最爱(他老婆)之后失去了人生的意义,决定自杀,却屡次被邻居打扰,到最后都没能自杀成功。可是却与邻居们建立起深厚的感情。故事中穿插着Ove年轻时候的事,让人理解他性格的形成,让人不自觉得喜欢上这个人。我就很喜欢Ove,到最后遗书上都还写“别让人开车进住宅区!!”我真是流着泪笑喷。
评分可以想象OVE在大骂incompetence people ,you imbecile. A big heart inside can’t be seen but can be felt by observant people.
评分People said Ove saw the world in black and white. But she was color. All the color he had. 这个固执不轻易言爱的老头啊
评分funny and warm
