Farewell Summer LP pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
In a summer that refuses to end, in the deceiving warmth of earliest October, civil war has come to Green Town, Illinois. It is the age-old conflict: the young against the elderly, for control of the clock that ticks their lives ever forward. The first cap-pistol shot heard 'round the town is dead accurate, felling an old man in his tracks, compelling town elder and school board despot Mr. Calvin C. Quartermain to marshal his graying forces and declare total war on the assassin, thirteen-year-old Douglas Spaulding, and his downy-cheeked cohorts. Doug and his cronies, however, are most worthy adversaries who should not be underestimated, as they plan and execute daring campaigns—matching old Quartermain's experience and cunning with their youthful enthusiasm and devil-may-care determination to hold on forever to childhood's summer. Yet time must ultimately be the victor, with valuable revelations for those on both sides of the conflict. And life waits in ambush to assail Doug Spaulding with its powerful mysteries—the irresistible ascent of manhood, the sweet surrender to a first kiss . . . One of the most acclaimed and beloved of American storytellers, Ray Bradbury has come home, revisiting the verdant landscape of one of his most adored works, Dandelion Wine . More than fifty years in the making, the long-awaited sequel, Farewell Summer , is a treasure—beautiful, poignant, wistful, hilarious, sad, evocative, profound, and unforgettable . . . and proof positive that the flame of wonder still burns brightly within the irrepressible imagination of the incomparable Bradbury.

《華氏451》和《火星編年史》是他最為著名的作品,奠定瞭其科幻小說大師的地位。他被譽為二十世紀最重要的美國作傢之一,“將現代科幻領入主流文學領域最重要的人物”。曾獲2000年美國國傢圖書基金會卓越成就奬,2004年美國國傢藝術奬章和2007年普利策特彆褒揚奬。

01 就文本本身所具备的诗性来说,你很难说布拉德伯里是一个类型作家。你看看这个开头吧。 奶奶走进食品储藏柜,感觉到一阵西风吹来。碗里的发面团鼓了起来,像一个壮观的外星人脑袋,诞生于往年的收获之中。她摸了摸棉布下膨胀的面团。那是破晓时代的地球,亚当尚未到来。那是...
評分被书名和腰封深深深深吸引迫不及待看完了这本小书。故事看得我莫名其妙但我实在太爱腰封大字最后一句——翻开书,在故事开篇。 摘抄书里对时间的描写—— “那庞大的满月钟是一座磨坊。光阴的谷粒纷纷扬扬——大颗的是一个世纪,小颗的是一年,细微的颗粒是一小时、一分钟——...
