With effortless grace, celebrated author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie illuminates a seminal moment in modern African history: Biafra's impassioned struggle to establish an independent republic in southeastern Nigeria during the late 1960s. We experience this tumultuous decade alongside five unforgettable characters: Ugwu, a thirteen-year-old houseboy who works for Odenigbo, a university professor full of revolutionary zeal; Olanna, the professor’s beautiful young mistress who has abandoned her life in Lagos for a dusty town and her lover’s charm; and Richard, a shy young Englishman infatuated with Olanna’s willful twin sister Kainene. Half of a Yellow Sun is a tremendously evocative novel of the promise, hope, and disappointment of the Biafran war.
知道这本书是因为朋友圈里的一个分享“BBC评选出的12本21世纪最棒的小说”。《半轮黄日》是榜单中唯一一本非洲作家的作品,曾获2007年奥兰治小说奖。入选理由:70后尼日利亚作家30岁写出的史诗般作品。我刚从肯尼亚回来,非洲的迷人风景还历历在目,立刻找来这本书拜读。 书名...
评分尼日利亚,本来是很遥远的国度,但是突然一下从地图上跳出来呈现在我的面前。 在大部分人眼中,非洲是一个大陆,是一个整体,除了埃及、南非等一些国家外,其余的几十个国家都是默默挤在一起组成了一个整体。《血钻》《卢旺达饭店》《北非谍影》几时有如此多的影片,然而广大的...
评分2013年,电影《半轮黄日》在多伦多电影节上映,海报上饱满得似乎将要溢出的橙红色至今仍让我感到惊艳。“半轮黄日”既是故事中尼日利亚内战期间比亚法拉共和国的国旗图案,也是这种橙红色出现在天空中的魔术时刻。电影改编自尼日利亚女作家阿迪契获得2007年橘子奖的同名长篇小...
评分这本书我拖拖拉拉了好久才看完,看完的时候感觉心情十分复杂。这是一部以尼日利亚内战为历史背景的半真实半虚构小说。从看到战争爆发那段开始,就觉得很难受,因此影响了阅读速度。这是我阅读的第一本非洲文学。最大的障碍是很难去想象书中的人、场景、环境这些。于是在快看完...
评分我们看到68年的一组照片了吗? 孩子们的头发变成了锈斑,一片片,附着在那些脑袋上,如此病态, 然后脱落,如尘上腐烂的叶。 想象一下吧,双臂细如牙签的孩子,肚大如箩,皮肤撑开,很薄 这叫恶性营养不良 一个很难的单词 一个不算难看之至的单词,一种罪孽。 赤身裸体的孩子们...
唯一的印象是黑人小黄书。。。我错了
评分细水长流的震撼。“War is always ugly.” Ugwu的篇章最生动。
