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.
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...
評分 評分 評分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...
評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...
細水長流的震撼。“War is always ugly.” Ugwu的篇章最生動。
评分Adichie真是太會講故事瞭—關乎尼日利亞內戰,熱血的Biafra共和國,美麗堅韌的Olanna,自信直率的Kainene,生動好學的Ugwu,難得不是殖民者姿態的Richard和在戰爭中消沉的所謂反抗者Odenigbo…真是舉重若輕的記錄和敘述。

评分她的每本書都是那麼引人入勝,這本也不例外。這本書講述瞭幾個以尼日利亞境內發生的戰爭為背景的故事。人物鮮明,不僅僅來自於他們都是齣於不同的階層,更加重要的是這些人物的發展,而戰爭在期間起到瞭推波助瀾的作用。如果改變為一部電影,應該會很好看。朗讀者演繹瞭作者的所有的書本,每一本都非常精彩。聽過采訪作者的錄音,也是很有自己的特色。
