'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.
不錯的一本書
評分情節充滿張力,扣人心弦,溫馨輕快的情節突然轉嚮,措手不及給人迎麵一擊,冷不丁將人打齣內傷來。
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Starts off all lighthearted, then before you know it all turns to chaos. Such a cruel, cruel book.
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...

評分在后殖民主义文学的课堂上读到了这本小书,两百多页出头,阅读体验却并不轻松。故事讲述了二十世纪晚期,当四分之三的世界都沐浴在蓬勃的朝气里,从世纪初的漫长黑夜留下的废墟中兴起时,历史的后坐力狠狠击中了太平洋上的巴布亚新几内亚。殖民主义的崩溃带来了独立,为了建立...
