Leningrad 1941: the white nights of summer illuminate a city of fallen grandeur whose beautiful palaces and stately avenues speak of a different age, when Leningrad was known as St Petersburg.
Two sisters, Tatiana and Dasha, share the same bed, living in one room with their brother and parents. It is a hard, impoverished life, yet the Metanovs know many who are not as fortunate as they.
The family routine is shattered on 22 June 1941 when Hitler invades Russia. For the Metanovs, for Leningrad and for Tatiana, life will never be the same again. On the fateful day, Tatiana meets a brash young officer named Alexander.
Tatiana and her family suffer as Hitler's army advances on Leningrad, and the Russian winter closes in. With bombs falling and the city under siege, Tatiana and Alexander are drawn to each other in an impossible love. It is a love that could tear Tatiana's family apart, a love that carries a secret that could mean death for anyone who hears it.
Confronted on the one hand by Hitler's unstoppable war machine, and on the other by a Soviet system determined to crush the human spirit, Tatiana and Alexander are pitted against the very tide of history, at a turning point in the century that made the modern world.
Mesmerizing from the very first page to the final, breathtaking end, The Bronze Horseman brings alive the story of two indomitable, heroic spirits and their great love that triumphs over the devastation of a country at war.
Paullina Simons was born in Leningrad, USSR in 1963. At the age of ten her family immigrated to the United States. Growing up in Russia Paullina dreamt of someday becoming a writer. Her dream was put on hold as she learned English and overcame the shock of a new culture.
After graduating from university and after various jobs including working as a financial journalist and as a translator Paullina wrote her first novel Tully. Through word of mouth that book was welcomed by readers all over the world.
She has since written Red Leaves, Eleven Hours, The Bronze Horseman, The Bridge to Holy Cross, (also known as Tatiana and Alexander.) The Summer Garden and The Girl in Times Square. Many of Paullina's novels have reached international bestseller lists in countries including Australia and New Zealand.
Apart from her novels, Paullina has also written a cookbook, Tatiana's Table, which is a collection of recipes, short stories and recollections from her best selling trilogy of novels, The Bronze Horseman, The Bridge to Holy Cross, (also known as Tatiana and Alexander) and The Summer Garden.
Paullina's latest novel is Road To Paradise which is currently available in all reputable Australian and New Zealand book stores.
怎么说呢,在我对这本书已经有偏见的情况下最后它还是能感动到我,说明它确有可取之处。最好的描写是围城的列宁格勒,但我依然很不喜欢女主角别扭的性格(很好地培养了我的忍耐力和承受力)以及在我看来没有必要的长而拖沓的节奏。

我已经很久没有阅读这么长的小说了,厚达七百余页的一部小说。合上书本,我的脑海里依然浮动着结尾的一句话:那时他们彼此相爱,那时他们正青春年少。 读这样的小说是需要勇气的,我曾拥有这样的力无止尽,因为那时候我还年轻。当岁月流逝,青春的尾巴从眼前瞬间而过,我似乎...
评分开战之初,俄军在纳尔瓦战役中失败。彼得大帝重组军队加强战备之后,在波尔塔瓦中彻底击败瑞典军。战后,俄罗斯吞并了大体上包括爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚和芬兰附近的一片重要领土,在征服瑞典所获的土地的一部分上,建立了一座新城市──圣彼得堡。
评分“当时他们青春年少” 现在我们依旧青春年少,会为了一个简单的理由走过任何一条马路,走到对面。 等我们长大,我们会因为内心和外来的压力,知道回不了头,知道不被允许回头了,于是有些人匍匐下身子爬过命运的栅栏,肩膀一点一点的低下去,被埋到土里。而有人会昂起头越过命...
评分非常推荐的一本书,满腹的溢美之词无法形容,总之读过绝不会后悔。可惜不知道什么原因受众很少。看来是再版了,祝愿更多人读过此书,得到心灵的安宁,体尝人世的艰辛,喟叹历史的浩瀚,更赞美伟大到无与伦比的爱情。
评分而诗中所描写的“花天酒地的富翁,头脑并不高明的懒虫”则与紧紧抱抱过日子的欧根形成了鲜明的对比,加深了底层人物的悲剧色彩,体现了社会对其的不公和漠然。此时暴风雨乍现,而可怜的欧根并不知道,不久之后等待自己的,是洪水之后的一无所有。
