From Salman Rushdie, one of the great writers of our time, comes a spellbinding work of fiction that blends history, mythology, and a timeless love story. A lush, richly layered novel in which our world has been plunged into an age of unreason, Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights is a breathtaking achievement and an enduring testament to the power of storytelling.
In the near future, after a storm strikes New York City, the strangenesses begin. A down-to-earth gardener finds that his feet no longer touch the ground. A graphic novelist awakens in his bedroom to a mysterious entity that resembles his own sub–Stan Lee creation. Abandoned at the mayor’s office, a baby identifies corruption with her mere presence, marking the guilty with blemishes and boils. A seductive gold digger is soon tapped to combat forces beyond imagining.
Unbeknownst to them, they are all descended from the whimsical, capricious, wanton creatures known as the jinn, who live in a world separated from ours by a veil. Centuries ago, Dunia, a princess of the jinn, fell in love with a mortal man of reason. Together they produced an astonishing number of children, unaware of their fantastical powers, who spread across generations in the human world.
Once the line between worlds is breached on a grand scale, Dunia’s children and others will play a role in an epic war between light and dark spanning a thousand and one nights—or two years, eight months, and twenty-eight nights. It is a time of enormous upheaval, in which beliefs are challenged, words act like poison, silence is a disease, and a noise may contain a hidden curse.
Inspired by the traditional “wonder tales” of the East, Salman Rushdie’s novel is a masterpiece about the age-old conflicts that remain in today’s world. Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights is satirical and bawdy, full of cunning and folly, rivalries and betrayals, kismet and karma, rapture and redemption.
還算有趣的故事,但是感覺祖輩和孫輩之間的故事割裂感有些強。作者往裏麵塞瞭太多元素,包括二戰、黃禍論、三角戀(很和諧的三角)、兒童色情,讓人覺得有些不搭。結尾Ichime的鬼魂齣現在Alma病床前的時候那叫一個臥槽,這纔讓人反應過來Allende是個魔幻現實主義作傢。
評分圍繞女主人公Alma幾十年的跨越時代,種族的愛情故事,作者將其他人的故事編織進來。這是我讀的伊莎貝爾·阿連德Isabel Allende的第一本書。這本書過後,當然是找來她其它的小說繼續讀下去。巧閤的是這本書的故事背景是在舊金山。
評分啦啦啦
評分從波瀾不驚的開始,一層層揭開感人至深的謎底。阿連德的筆下,每個人都在用力生長,用力地愛。
