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.
JOHN IRVING was born in Exeter, New Hampshire, in 1942. His first novel, Setting Free the Bears, was published in 1968, when he was twenty-six. He competed as a wrestler for twenty years, and coached wrestling until he was forty-seven.
Mr. Irving has been nominated for a National Book Award three times—winning once, in 1980, for his novel The World According to Garp. He received an O. Henry Award in 1981 for his short story “Interior Space.” In 2000, Mr. Irving won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Cider House Rules. In 2013, he won a Lambda Literary Award for his novel In One Person.
An international writer—his novels have been translated into more than thirty-five languages—John Irving lives in Toronto. His all-time best-selling novel, in every language, is A Prayer for Owen Meany.
Avenue of Mysteries is his fourteenth novel.
from ~6.20| when you read a brief history of St. Cloud's and read about his elaborate plan to exempt Homer from military draft as well as to resurrect Fuzzy Stone you realize Dr. Larch was a much deeper character than Homer who like most of John's protagonist was lovable but a bit bland a novel of his grandfather's generation

很久没有读过700多页的小说了,没想到一旦开了头就不知不觉地开始为每一个人的命运牵肠挂肚了。 约翰欧文的叙述方式就像他所钟情的狄更斯和勃朗特一样,用看似不合理但又是意料之中的起伏情节,牢牢地抓住了读者的心。而他笔下的角色也随着故事的发展日渐丰满起来,仿佛他们能...
評分“可你已经给了他承诺,”荷马说。 “是的,”坎蒂说,“可承诺本身不就是耐心等待,顺其自然吗?难道你不曾真心许下诺言,后来却违反了当初的承诺吗?” ——摘自《苹果酒屋的规则》P421 随着时光的流逝,那些曾经在你心目中至关重要的人,却在你生命中的...
評分世界风云变幻,人们爱来爱去,而他始终是这个美丽世界的孤儿。 伦理学认为,几乎所有伦理问题的产生往往都与伦理身份有关。这种身份犹如一种烙印,从圣克劳兹孤儿院一出生就刻在身上,讽刺的是,我们今天大加谈论的所谓原生家庭,其实孤儿院里的孩子深谙其苦,他们生来不会放肆...
評分约翰欧文的书几乎都读过,唯有这本苹果酒屋只看了电影。听同样喜欢欧文的朋友讲起,说这是她唯一读不下去的欧文。可是这是唯一在豆瓣里找得到的中文译本。不知道其他那些欧文有没有翻译成中文过,也许现在不卖了?比如说《寡居一年》《为欧恩米尼祈祷》《盖普的世界》《新罕布...
評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...
