Lincoln in the Bardo pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
The captivating first novel by the best-selling, National Book Award nominee George Saunders, about Abraham Lincoln and the death of his eleven year old son, Willie, at the dawn of the Civil War.
On February 22, 1862, two days after his death, Willie Lincoln was laid to rest in a marble crypt in a Georgetown cemetery. That very night, shattered by grief, Abraham Lincoln arrives at the cemetery under cover of darkness and visits the crypt, alone, to spend time with his son’s body. Set over the course of that one night and populated by ghosts of the recently passed and the long dead, Lincoln in the Bardo is a thrilling exploration of death, grief, the powers of good and evil, a novel - in its form and voice - completely unlike anything you have read before. It is also, in the end, an exploration of the deeper meaning and possibilities of life, written as only George Saunders can: with humor, pathos, and grace.

4.4 一直對曆史類小說感冒 不愛讀 所以即使17年得瞭奬我也一直沒興趣去買來看 上個月正好開始買18年布剋奬國際小說就順便買來看瞭。題材新穎,這個不用我說已經大半年過去瞭大傢都知道,也的確這樣的結構來寫曆史小說我纔看的下去。再一次以膽大為勝(但比不上16年的winner)。主要說曆史,還牽涉點政治背景。Hessians也提到瞭不容易。最喜歡那段hans vollman說輪迴是trap(這個版本的書155-156頁)簡直把我心裏想的都描述齣來瞭,也是看這本書的高潮吧。此後,便漸漸失去趣味 但也讀完瞭
評分The first one hundred pages are amazing, but it’s getting harder and harder to follow. It’s a really sad story anyway.

阅读过程中,我常常想起《聊斋志异》,说来惭愧,聊斋我没有通读过,虽然我的网名就来自聊斋。此书能让人有聊斋之感,除了都是鬼在做主角,翻译占了很大的功劳。我已经太久没看到过如此地道的汉语翻译,甚至可以说很多地方都特别典雅。翻译何颖怡说,因为此书所描写时代为林肯...
評分Loved the poignancy of the first quarter of this book, and amazed at how well the chapters comprised of quotations had worked. Tonally compassionate with his signature breezy dark humor. Saunders paints his refreshing metaphors with poetic tenderness and sw...
評分It just so happened that the other day a colleague's father had passed away and I didn't attend the funeral. That kind of place always gives me the chill, with no disrespect. I think it's because I've never faced the loss of a loved one, I can't feel the pa...
