This acadamy-award winning screenplay by John Irving was written over a fourteen year period and is the companion screenplay to the Miramax film, co-starring Michael Caine, who won the Acadmy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Dr.Wilbur Larch.
The Cider House Rules is set in rural Maine in the first half of this century. It tells the story of Homer Wells, an orphan who is raised and mentored by Wilbur Larch, the doctor at the orphanage. Dr. Larch teaches Homer eveything about medicine. Yet though his capacity for kindness is saintly, Larch is also an ether addict. He and Homer come into conflict, which is typical of many father-son relationships, but in this case, their conflict is intensified by their disagreements about abortion. The result is Homer leaves the only family he has ever known.
Homer's new life provides more excitement than he could have imagined, especially when he falls in love for the first time. But, when forced to make decisions that will change the course of his future, Homer finally realizes that he can't escape his past. The Cider House Rules is ultimately about the choices we make and the rules that are meant to be broken.

评分欧文的书看的第一本是寡居的一年,昨天把另外一本看完,是苹果酒屋的法则。 看欧文的书是需要一点耐心的,因为他总是能把一件平凡无奇的事,别人可能只用几句话一笔带过的事,浩浩荡荡写成几十页。所以这本书很长。长得感觉等不到尽头。但并不是说它无聊,因为欧文的语言有他自...
评分 评分 评分管理整个孤儿院的韦尔伯拉奇医生,对孤儿荷马威尔士的情愫,实际上有一丝隐隐约约的同性之爱。 约翰欧文用了很多篇章来描述拉奇医生对荷马的爱,但是读者很容易会把拉奇医生对荷马的情愫看成是一种师徒之爱,或者是父子之爱,因为荷马医术精湛,是拉奇医生的得意门生,而拉奇医...
