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).

瑞典著名80後博主、專欄作傢,近五年來瑞典最成功的作傢,著有《我奶奶讓我告訴你她很抱歉》《一個叫歐維的男人決定去死》等。後者是他的處女作,為瑞典頭號暢銷書,已被翻譯超過25種語言。
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...
評分12月9日,第77届美国电影电视《金球奖提名名单》 完整名单公布,颁奖典礼将于明年1月5日举行。 这份名单可谓百花齐放,电影类:《婚姻故事》6项提名领跑,《爱尔兰人》《好莱坞往事》5项提名,《小丑》4提。 奉俊昊凭《寄生虫》提名导演、剧本、外语片,再造韩国电影新历史。 ...
評分文/smarttree 不要被这样一个书名蛊惑到了。“一个叫欧维的男人决定去死。”仿佛这是一本求死之书,悲伤,灰暗,沉痛。不不不,当然不是这样!原文的书名是A Man Called Ove,“一个叫欧维的男人”,就这样,没有“决定去死”。这么一看,这本书应该讲的是欧维的一生。从某种...
評分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,...
評分1、他是个非黑即白的男人。她是色彩,他的全部色彩。 2、失去某人以后总是会有一些奇怪的细节惹人怀念。都是极细小的事情。笑容,她睡眠时翻身的样子。为她粉刷房间。 3、你在生命中走过的每一条道路最终都会“带领你到注定的归宿”。 4、一个人的品质是有他的行为决定的,而不...
People said Ove saw the world in black and white. But she was color. All the color he had. 這個固執不輕易言愛的老頭啊
评分溫情反差萌
评分可以想象OVE在大罵incompetence people ,you imbecile. A big heart inside can’t be seen but can be felt by observant people.
评分9分太誇張瞭…可能我又對主角難相處瞭= = 當然還是有淚點暴擊,下一本反正我還是買瞭的。ps中文版翻譯的幾個外號挺微妙的。。
评分funny and warm
