Under the streets of London there's a world most people could never even dream of - a city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels, and pale girls in black velvet. Richard Mayhew is a young businessman who is about to find out more than he bargained for about this other London. A single act of kindness catapults him out of his safe and predictable life and into a world that is at once eerily familiar and yet utterly bizarre. There's a girl named Door, an Angel called Islington, an Earl who holds Court on the carriage of a Tube train, a Beast in a labyrinth, and dangers and delights beyond imagining...And Richard, who only wants to go home, is to find a strange destiny waiting for him below the streets of his native city. This title includes extra material exclusive to Headline Review's edition.
I make things up and write them down. Which takes us from comics (like SANDMAN) to novels (like ANANSI BOYS and AMERICAN GODS) to short stories (some are collected in SMOKE AND MIRRORS) and to occasionally movies (like Dave McKean's MIRRORMASK or the NEVERWHERE TV series, or my own short film A SHORT FILM ABOUT JOHN BOLTON).
In my spare time I read and sleep and eat and try to keep the blog at www.neilgaiman.com more or less up to date.
盖曼的书就看过平行异界(不太确定是不是这个名)和这部,确切地说其实都只看了一半后就索然无味。不知道是不是有一定程度上译者的问题,还是语言本来就这样。感觉缺少引人入胜的文采。确实,不管在这部书中还是平行异界中,盖曼的想象力异常丰富,这点毋庸置疑。但是读下来却...
评分嗯……昨晚想了想……决定再多说一点 故事很简单。如果硬要我描述一下,我愿意用“回套”这个字眼。是的,在前面出现了一下的人物在最后可有可无地推了一下情节。我称之为“回套”。 众多人物中,最有趣的应该是那两个互称XX先生的搭档。很好玩,NG也竭力塑造。但是我不得不...
评分 评分今天要写一篇规规矩矩的书评。咳咳。 《乌有乡》(Neverwhere)是我看的第九本 Neil Gaiman小说。对他的路数已经比较熟悉。他的路数包括丰满的笔触,炫丽奇诡的画面感,层叠的语义和意象,三步一小转五步一大折;主角多半是平凡的小人物,踏上的冒险征途却劫难重重,不过最后他...
评分当你每天早晨睁开双眼,刷牙洗脸,吃过早饭,挤上公交,坐在座位上,倒上一杯咖啡,打开电脑,开始一天惯常的生活之时,你甚至都不会想到,自己每天都在进行着的普通的生活方式是怎么样的,又有何不妥?我们所在的城市,将我们每个人都训练成一个按照固定路线行进的人偶。直到...
Plot is okay-ish, I guess that's the same problem with all Gaiman stories, the settings, however, are quite novel and intriguing. There is an Earl at Earl's Count, an Angel Islington, real Black Friars, and oh my how I like the Old Bailey! But this could only happen in London tho, because London has a heart big enough for all things eccentric.
评分Neil Gailman真是会讲故事,下伦敦的设定也很接地气,不过比起后来的美国众神还是略显简单。
评分精彩又美丽的冒险。盖曼巨巨写的真是成人童话啊,它足以感动任何一个铁石心肠(。的伦敦人(I mean London Above)。任何平淡无奇的地点和物品在盖曼的触手下可以轻易衍生成充满了故事的、自成一体又和其他瑰丽幻想相关联的事物。他太厉害了。写人写事写景都无可挑剔得完美。
评分很多地方都感到,难怪哈利波特诞生在伦敦,原来是有传统的啊。
评分Neil Gailman真是会讲故事,下伦敦的设定也很接地气,不过比起后来的美国众神还是略显简单。
