Christopher Isherwood was born in 1904. He began to write at university and later moved to Berlin, where he gave English lessons to support himself. He witnessed first hand the rise to power of Hitler and the Nazi party in Germany and some of his best works, such as Mr. Norris Changes Trains and Goodbye to Berlin, draw on these experiences. He created the character of Sally Bowles, later made famous as the heroine of the musical Cabaret. Isherwood travelled with W.H Auden to China in the late 1930s before going with him to America in 1939. He died on 4 January 1986.
In this brilliantly perceptive novel, a middle aged professor living in California, is alienated from his students by differences in age and nationality, and from the rest of society by his homosexuality. Isherwood explores the depths of the human soul and its ability to triumph over loneliness, alienation and loss.
闹钟响起的时候,我在微凉的被窝中突然醒来。这是冬末春初早晨8点的上海,这个季节的寒风,依旧不肯放过任何一次展现自我的机会。睁着眼睛却不想起身,耳边慢慢传来轨道交通经过窗户时“况且况且”的声音。脑袋一片空白,下一秒应该干什么完全想不起来。维持这样的姿势躺了十来...
评分 评分几年前看A single man只是为了看科林叔的那一抹背影,如今翻开此书是为了乔治。科林叔再精湛的演技也演不出开篇那段身体的告白,失去吉姆的乔治行尸走肉般的生活状态。梦游一般来到学校教书,而正是那关于“弱势族群”的讨论给了乔治一针强心剂。 其实这个话题就犹如“为什么...
评分千里孤坟,无处话凄凉。
评分在12年、15年与18年三次完整的细读,伴随着更多对Isherwood的了解与自己渐长的年纪,自然每次的阅读体验与其引发的思考各不相同。A Single Man几乎是一本总在我心尖的书,时常要去翻找书中的某一段落,时常随身带出门。我确实感觉自己和Chris之间有种亲密的关系,在情绪低落时寻求与他的共鸣,心神不宁时需要他的安抚,举棋不定时旁观他的选择...对他大概没有敬仰的情绪,而是来自同谋的惺惺相惜、晚辈全然的信任,自深深处的喜爱。
评分买的第一本原版书了,啃了一半放弃了。太喜欢又,买了中文版。
评分多次差点放弃,总是提不起来兴趣,主角的絮叨总令我昏昏欲睡,【我确实也睡了五六页的样子】在电影OST的帮助下,终于听完了
评分每次乔治胡思乱想起来就变得有趣了
