From the New York Times bestselling author of Rules of Civility—a transporting novel about a man who is ordered to spend the rest of his life inside a luxury hotel
“In all ways a great novel, a nonstop pleasure brimming with charm, personal wisdom, and philosophic insight . . .this book more than fulfills the promise of Towles' stylish debut, Rules of Civility." – Kirkus Reviews (starred)
With his breakout debut novel, Rules of Civility, Amor Towles established himself as a master of absorbing, sophisticated fiction, bringing late 1930s Manhattan to life with splendid atmosphere and a flawless command of style. Readers and critics were enchanted; as NPR commented, “Towles writes with grace and verve about the mores and manners of a society on the cusp of radical change.”
A Gentleman in Moscow immerses us in another elegantly drawn era with the story of Count Alexander Rostov. When, in 1922, he is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the count is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him a doorway into a much larger world of emotional discovery.
Brimming with humor, a glittering cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene after another, this singular novel casts a spell as it relates the count’s endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man of purpose.
埃默•托爾斯(Amor Towles),1964年齣生於美國波士頓。本科和碩士學位分彆在耶魯大學和斯坦福大學獲得。被《華爾街日報》稱為“紐約最後的紳士”。曾因處女作《上流法則》獲得菲茨傑拉德奬。
《莫斯科紳士》一經發售就登上瞭《紐約時報》暢銷榜,被《華盛頓郵報》等多傢知名媒體評為年度暢銷圖書,至今銷量仍居高不下。
4.5 懷舊,剋製,優雅。有匠氣的痕跡但控製得很好,唯一缺點是,處理得太溫柔瞭
評分終於看完瞭,作者很有風格。好奇俄羅斯人對此書的看法,還是沒明白為什麼突然迴來和離開,感覺trigger不甚明顯,期待電影版
評分非常優雅的一本書,用詞、敘事的方式都很溫柔。情節一般,讀到中途幾乎想放棄,但是伯爵的個人魅力還是把我拉瞭迴來。最後讀完還是很滿足的,書中GRE詞匯超多,學瞭很多形容詞。整本看完,印象最深刻的,還是Rostov和Marina討論Nina那裏: “You must trust that life will find her in time. For eventually, it finds us all.”
評分我一度執著地相信:不參與曆史進程是非常可憐的。但曆史的潮流永遠不以個人意誌為轉移。每一個人,都是被動地裹挾著去參與。小說正是呈現這樣一幅景象:你以為可以投入到無産階級的文學創作,去發揮個人獨特的價值,卻不知怎麼地被流放西伯利亞;你以為被軟禁於大酒店,終其一生,將是無比失意的一件事,卻因而塞翁失馬,“幸運”地與曆史洪流無緣,免受政治的浩劫、免於運動的極端。喜歡小說的結尾,與安娜的再遇,讓人重溫紳士和公主的過往。
評分英文有聲書。DNF。看書評的關鍵字都是“優雅”“貴族”之類的,聽瞭幾章之後覺得我怕是看瞭本假書吧!一點沒看齣來優雅,感覺一直就是在裝13(恨不得就是那種直接靠貴族的敘述來說“貴族們都是這樣這樣的”)。虧得我還堅持瞭一陣生怕我錯過瞭什麼。
绅士是西方旧时代贵族男性追求的完美形象,举止优雅、博学多识、谈吐幽默、重视礼仪,总之是魅力非凡。一个贵族的绅士,往往能够交游四方,享受优渥的生活,也不用工作,这是旧时代赋予他们的特权。 一旦时代变了,绅士们又该如何呢?埃默•托尔斯的新作《莫斯科绅士》,讲的...
評分文/栗一白 在很多时候,虚与委蛇和没话找话之后,大多数人想要的其实很简单,就是一份安宁和平静,那么,在平静中看一部步步惊心而又时时可放松的小说,无疑是最好的选择,没错,这是埃默•托尔斯式的开场白,然而,真正的开场,精彩的过程,高潮的结局是这样的: 一、剧场般...

評分然而伯爵早已没了复仇的冲动,也没有创作史诗巨作的想象力,更没有做过复辟帝国的美梦。他把握自己命运的方式与其他囚徒截然不同,是一种被冲上荒岛的英国人的方式。正如被困在荒岛上的鲁滨逊一样,伯爵靠实用主义来坚定自己的决心。在打消了起初指望迅速得救的念头之后,鲁滨...
