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).

一个看起来远离人世,孤僻,脾气火爆的老头渐渐被人群所接纳的故事,似乎也是一个长盛不衰,备受欢迎的主题。小时候看得津津有味的儿童文学《海蒂》,当属这种类型的典型代表。当那个倔强,吓人的老头儿牵着孙女儿柔软的小手走下山,与人群,与社会,与命运和解的时候,...
评分“You’re dancing on the inside, Ove, when no one’s watching. And I’ll always love you for that.” At first I picture Ove as some grumpy, insipid old bore, but I was totally wrong. On reading the book, he became more vivid and empathetic. The story is ten...
评分 评分 评分在读这本书的时候,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...
This man clenched his fists in the pockets, and fought for the all things irritated him. But he always was filled with odd gentleness to hug this shitty world.
评分生活中遇到这样的人,或许会感到烦吧,按看似不必要的规矩行事,跟不上时代,还有点强迫症。但本书让读者看到,一个人是怎样成为一个人的,如果你不了解那些事,你就不认识那个人!欧维是不幸的,各种被坑被骗…… 欧维又是幸运的,不起眼的他遇到了相爱至深的伴侣,看似冷漠的他赢得了一堆好邻居好朋友。无论幸与不幸,欧维坚持按自己的原则行事,孤独也好,吃亏也罢,他拒绝妥协,像个斗士,活出了自己想要的样子。欧维的妻子是睿智的,很难想象青春靓丽的她会选择他这样一个人,但她懂得他这个人和他炙热的情感,也懂体谅他拒不妥协的顽固,而他,果然用一生行动谱写着至真至深、至死不渝的真情。她离开后,被社会抛下的欧维决定去死,然而他没有死成,只要人间尚有温情与真善美,就有活下去的理由与意义。
评分我很喜欢Ove,从一开始觉得他真是个不通情理的怪老头,慢慢了解到他有原则、认真,甚至很温暖人的一面,就是Sonja说的那样,He's dancing on the inside when nobody's watching. 但是一个人内心的美好总是会熠熠生辉,让周围的人忍不住靠近。
评分先看的电影,但是丝毫没有减少对书的热情。
评分文笔不算最优秀,但是故事的确很动人.Ove这个人塑造得很成功,这样的爱情让人(我)异常期待一个家庭,之前也有过一次这种感觉,就是看杨绛和钱钟书.虽然结局过分童话式大团圆,但是时不时有这种暖心的鸡汤,还是很心满意足。
