Saul Bellow evokes all the rich colors and exotic customs of a highly imaginary Africa in this acclaimed comic novel about a middle-aged American millionaire who, seeking a new, more rewarding life, descends upon an African tribe. Henderson’s awesome feats of strength and his unbridled passion for life win him the admiration of the tribe—but it is his gift for making rain that turns him from mere hero into messiah. A hilarious, often ribald story, Henderson the Rain King is also a profound look at the forces that drive a man through life.
如果从读小说的角度看《雨王亨德森》还是有点累的,描写太干,心理活动太多。但是我知道,这百分之八十是翻译的问题。欧美的长篇小说很多不能让人读完,比如纳博科夫,唯一好读的只有《洛丽塔》。但是又很奇怪,世界上最会讲故事的作家也在他们那儿。 读完小说以后我才深刻明白...
评分 评分他长着一双阴阳怪气的眼睛,偌大的头颅凹凸不平,头发像波斯羊身上的毛,还有一个大鼻子。这样类似于动物的外貌却是《雨王亨德森》书中的主人公,让人又失望又好笑同时又让人对他产生好奇,为什么作者索尔•贝娄给了他“兽”的形象。 索尔•贝娄是美国著名作家,诺贝尔获...

评分首先这是一本儿小说(废话了)。在索尔 贝娄所有为所谓中产阶级或者说为知识分子所写的小说里,这本儿算是比较容易看进去的。翻译没得挑,很不错。 “尽管我们活着需要面对各种危急和苦难,但苦难是...一切事物中最接近于令人顶礼膜拜的东西”。 “对于一切生物来说,世...
'Bravo' is the only word that I can possibly think of when referring to such a masterpiece. Saul Bellow in the middle stage of his writing career knows so well how to please the readers with serious matters that his works, mixed with mirth and dirge as well as insights and profound humanistic care, appeals just to the tender part of readers' heart.
