A searing portrait of a young colonial in early 1960s London from the two-time winner of the Booker Prize. Set against the background of the 1960s - Sharpeville, the Cuban missile crisis, Vietnam Youthis a remarkable portrait of a consciousness, isolated and adrift, turning in on itself. The narrator ofYouth, a student in the South Africa of the 1950s, studies mathematics, reads poetry, saves money, trying to ensure that when he escapes to the real world, wherever that may be, he will be prepared to experience life to its full intensity and transform it into art. Arriving in London, however, he finds neither poetry nor romance. Instead he succumbs to the monotony of life as a computer programmer, from which random, loveless affairs offer no relief. Devoid of inspiration, he stops writing. An awkward colonial, a constitutional outsider, he begins a dark pilgrimage in which he is continually tested and continually found wanting.
J.M. Coetzee's full name is John Michael Coetzee. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1940, Coetzee is a writer and critic who uses the political situation in his homeland as a backdrop for many of his novels. Coetzee published his first work of fiction, Dusklands, in 1974. Another book, Boyhood, loosely chronicles an unhappy time in Coetzee's childhood when his family moved from Cape Town to the more remote and unenlightened city of Worcester. Other Coetzee novels are In the Heart of the Country and Waiting for the Barbarians. Coetzee's critical works include White Writing and Giving Offense: Essays on Censorship. Coetzee is a two-time recipient of the Booker Prize and in 2003, he won the Nobel Literature Award.
有些词我是受不了的,比如“青春”,听起来多矫情啊。脑子里反射的立刻是莉莉周小逼孩子站在田地里拿大耳机听非主流歌曲,或者将爱情进行到底李亚鹏徐静蕾缺根筋一样在操场上向前花痴幸福的奔跑。相较之而言,“青年”一词感觉更舒坦,起码没过分浪漫化现实。而如果要我翻译库...
評分《青春》读毕。一直特别关注那些老者或逝者年轻的时候,他们在怎么想,做什么。这是时间紧迫感所致。 《青春》和前阵子的《流动的盛宴》都是讲述年轻的时候。“年轻的时候”,多么好的时候,那时未来还是谜,不管他们痛苦或者欢喜,共通的是雄心。 这两本都喜欢,《青春》更喜...
評分拜改革开放所赐,我经历了和四十多年前一个南非男人近似的青年时代。十九岁到二十四岁。从开普敦到伦敦,或者从西京到北京、从兰州到杭州。 西部不正是东部的殖民地吗?这么说可能会误导,这里没有政治分析,它讲的毕竟是青春,没力、没情、没所适从。小说足够简洁也足够耐心,...
