'You cannot pretend to read a book. Your eyes will give you away. So will your breathing. A person entranced by a book simply forgets to breathe. The house can catch alight and a reader deep in a book will not look up until the wallpaper is in flames.' Bougainville. 1991. A small village on a lush tropical island in the South Pacific. Eighty-six days have passed since Matilda's last day of school as, quietly, war is encroaching from the other end of the island. When the villagers' safe, predictable lives come to a halt, Bougainville's children are surprised to find the island's only white man, a recluse, re-opening the school. Pop Eye, aka Mr Watts, explains he will introduce the children to Mr Dickens. Matilda and the others think a foreigner is coming to the island and prepare a list of much needed items. They are shocked to discover their acquaintance with Mr Dickens will be through Mr Watts' inspiring reading of Great Expectations. But on an island at war, the power of fiction has dangerous consequences. Imagination and beliefs are challenged by guns.Mister Pip is an unforgettable tale of survival by story; a dazzling piece of writing that lives long in the mind after the last page is finished.

評分完整讀下來的第一本英文書 為瞭休叔看的~非常憂傷的故事
評分充滿瞭我的英國的美好迴憶~
評分看到最後十分感動,幾乎淚目。遠大前程本身就是一部動人戳心的小說,Jones又帶著新的視野,將南太平洋小島融入敘事,對非英國的讀者十分有號召力。太多話題可以討論瞭,the embodiment of desire/subjectivity/成長小說/father... 我們每個人都有Pip的影子,每段人生中都有一位像Mister Pip一樣的恩師需要銘記。當看盡那些我們曾經想要的東西,我們是否需要歸鄉?
評分隔瞭幾年再讀原文,不知怎地比記憶中的譯文版要沉重。
去年第一次读完这本书时,感觉重读可能会很久,整整过了一年,我还是把它拿出来重读了一遍。这本寓言似的小书极大地肯定了文学的价值,它试图说出文学对于人的整个生命和灵魂都具有非常正面的影响。书中不乏一些不错的句子: 1.“孩子们,我来给你们讲一讲信仰,”她说。你们...
評分My only knowledge about Great Expectations is that it is a classic novel by Charles Dickens. I was supposed to read through the novel when in college. But I have so many other things to catch up with as a country girl coming to the big city that I hardly ev...
評分It's more like a literary allegory rather than a real story. "Characters migrate", as the book said at the beginning. Literature, or Dickens in this specific book, can help you through the hardest time, though ur life and trouble seem totally irrelavent to ...
評分皮普先生,这个岛上唯一的白人,作为老师他也许不是最好的,但是他的确用他的故事改变了一个平凡的小女孩儿的人生。在那个战争的年代,用他的声音给孩子们描绘了另一个充满爱、信任和勇气的世界。如果手边刚好有书中读到的《远大前程》不妨一并读读,一定会感受到和当初读的时...
