From the internationally acclaimed, best-selling author of The English Patient: a mesmerizing new novel that tells a dramatic story set in the decade after World War II through the lives of a small group of unexpected characters and two teenagers whose lives are indelibly shaped by their unwitting involvement.
In a narrative as beguiling and mysterious as memory itself--shadowed and luminous at once--we read the story of fourteen-year-old Nathaniel, and his older sister, Rachel. In 1945, just after World War II, they stay behind in London when their parents move to Singapore, leaving them in the care of a mysterious figure named The Moth. They suspect he might be a criminal, and they grow both more convinced and less concerned as they come to know his eccentric crew of friends: men and women joined by a shared history of unspecified service during the war, all of whom seem, in some way, determined now to protect, and educate (in rather unusual ways) Rachel and Nathaniel. But are they really what and who they claim to be? And what does it mean when the siblings' mother returns after months of silence without their father, explaining nothing, excusing nothing? A dozen years later, Nathaniel begins to uncover all that he didn't know and understand in that time, and it is this journey--through facts, recollection, and imagination--that he narrates in this masterwork from one of the great writers of our time.
Michael Ondaatje is the author of six previous novels, a memoir, a nonfiction book on film, and several books of poetry. The English Patient won the Booker Prize; Anil's Ghost won the Irish Times International Fiction Prize, the Giller Prize, and the Prix Médicis. Born in Sri Lanka, Michael Ondaatje now lives in Toronto.
科威特jarir书店购得,被第一句吸引了 书的质量非常好,非常舒适,纸张厚度和触感很美妙,和书里的文字一样美妙 少年的思绪很丰满,清晰,而不混乱 夜晚的泰晤士河神秘奇幻,夜里漂行的人更以何处为家,隐藏了什么样的秘密? 这是那种拿起来放不下的小说,很难讲什么吸引了你,也许是某一个人物的某一个动作,或者整体的晕染的气氛,忽明忽暗,若隐若现,情感如此,不是亲情的亲情,似爱情的爱情。一个少年,能承担的,也仅限如此吧,不能更多 上半部迷幻,下半部悬疑+狗血,working mother,到底干了啥,与felcon的过往没有来由和逻辑,一个年轻母亲偶遇少女时代的恋人并追随他走上间谍之路,一个很不清晰的人物又被虚化了的房顶上的男人所掩盖。结尾很无语,讲Anges。这是warlight给人的印记吧
评分弃了的。
评分翁达杰的集成之作。开头和第一部分是《猫桌》式的成长故事,然后故事突然断裂,是《遥望》式的布局章法(姐弟之间其实也有“双生”的赶脚),同时引入《英国病人》式的间谍故事和男女激情,当然也少不了《身着狮皮》里的蓝领情怀。翁式人物的关键词是anarchic, independent, disguised, scarred and solitary,翁式主题永远都是in search of something。不过这本书里故事叙述者的塑造太弱了,他叙述的对象都太传奇太戏剧,把他的存在感给压没了。最后有种“珠箔飘灯独自归”的情调,但是这个人物最后的一个发现,如果在石黑一雄笔下会非常有分量,他执着于追寻什么而忽视了什么,悔之晚矣这样一种感觉,或者莫迪亚诺《暗店街》式的缥缈迷离。不过翁达杰自有一种笃定坚持。
评分我还是最爱Part1。读到中间段落其实内心里已经有些明了了,翁达杰在Part1里描述的十分动人,迷惘之下缺失且一直在寻找着的,不乏战火中与能引起共情的相同缺失,但同时也是在独有细腻之处串起种种片段。后面偶尔感觉有些脱离,但让我感受到并且沉迷于他的真切之处在于,寻找与迷失之下又不乏那对这世间即使毫无回路之处的缱绻与留恋。
评分用平淡且娓娓道来的叙事方式,呈现了后战争时代情报人员隐蔽但非同寻常的人生,触动人心
一本充满了反转的好书,正如它的名字。与我最初预期的不同,Warlight,本来看到“灯火”二字的反应应是明亮而温暖的,而所谓战时灯火的意思,是因为在战时为了防止空袭而实施的宵禁,关掉所有的灯只留下必要的,在昏暗的灯光照料下的黑漆漆的泰晤士河水。 所以,战时灯火的意义...
评分很多事情,我们有时候很久很久都不能忘, 也许是一些开心的事儿, 也许是一些伤心的事儿。 开心的事情最后变成了美好的回忆, 而伤心的事情最后变成了心里的一根刺。 曾经一个朋友提到过有仇当场就报, 确实, 谁也没有那个闲工夫去记仇,当场就报算得上一个态度。 也相当的洒...
