When Marian Taylor takes the post of governess at Gaze castle, remote house on a beautiful but desolate coast, she finds herself confronted with many strange mysteries. What kind of crime or catastrophe in the past still keeps the house under a brooding spell? And is her employer Hannah an innocent victim, a guilty woman, a lunatic, or a witch?
Marian Taylor, who has come as a “companion” to a lovely woman in a remote castle, becomes aware that her employer is a prisoner, not only of her obsessions, but of an unforgiving husband.
Hannah, the Unicorn, seemingly an image of persecuted virtue, fascinates those who surround her, some of whom plan to rescue her from her dream of redemptive suffering. But is she an innocent victim, a guilty woman, a mad woman, or a witch? Is her spiritual life really some evil enchantment? If she is forcibly liberated will she die? The ordinary, sensible people survive, and are never sure whether they have understood.
Iris Murdoch (1919–1999) was one of the most influential British writers of the twentieth century. She was awarded the 1978 Booker Prize for The Sea, The Sea, won the Royal Society Literary Award in 1987, and was made a Dame of the British Empire in 1987 by Queen Elizabeth. Her final years were clouded by a long struggle with Alzheimer's before her passing in 1999.
“Quite automatically...” A novel about life and death, good and evil, and above all, love. Should re-read the part where Effingham was lost in the bog. Want to binge read Iris Murdoch...
評分Unicorn依舊極具有默多剋的敘事風格,就像當初吸引我的The sea, The sea一樣,滿是神秘和驚訝,我讀得愛不釋手。她的故事錶麵看起來與我們的日常生活有那麼點遙遠,但是細細追究,它所傳達的思想其實與我們的一切相關,無私的愛與善,而那些看似離奇,不尋常的情節不正是小說敘事的功用嗎——允許我們短暫地遠離瑣碎平凡的日常,讓想象自由地舒展。
評分感覺開瞭個新的大坑,Iris Murdoch的文筆和故事都太好瞭,而且這本還不是她曾經獲奬的那些。最關鍵的是她的作品真不少,隻能希望盡量多看一些瞭。這種寫幾個人之間微妙關係的故事很容易寫得可讀性非常差,能寫齣這樣兼顧微妙的人物關係和麯摺的情節很不容易。本書的前言也很有幫助。

这是我的第一本Iris Murdoch。前段时间被Byatt的小说迷得神魂颠倒,探赜索隐的兴致很浓,因此打算读一读Murdoch。这篇书评的题目也来自Byatt所撰Murdoch评论的书名。 我是在飞机上读完这部小说的,单从故事上说它足以让人沉浸其中:荒原异闻、深院古宅、囚禁与出逃、异常之人的...
評分《独角兽》写于1963年,是默多克早期的一部作品。这部作品在默多克众多的作品里算不上上乘,但其作品风格还是能得窥一二。默多克的创作致力于探讨善与恶,性关系,道德困境与无意识的力量。在《独角兽》这部作品里,能够看到的是无意识的力量的展现。 小说从一开始即把人引...
評分爱丽丝,灵与肉分开来爱,简单粗暴而炽热 华菲汉,自恋又自卑,以为自己是乱花从中过不沾一点香的花花公子,毕竟没有自己想象的那么迷人,他的"博爱"与"缺爱"的自我矛盾决定了他不能担负不起汉娜圣母形象的坍塌以至于匆忙逃离 玛丽安,来自外部社会的热情差点被理想主义的失败而浇灭 ...
評分开始读一本哥特式的爱情故事,短短一章,就喜欢到不行,喜欢这种旧式华丽飘下的灰尘气味。细致的景色描写,深入的人物独白。还有默多克喜欢的大海悬崖偏僻被上帝遗忘的角落……哲学学者写出的小说,算不上 上乘,但独特风格也可窥见一二。 把最后一章放了很久才重新拿出。还是...
