In the Skin of a Lion is a love story and an irresistible mystery set in the turbulent, muscular new world of Toronto in the 20s and 30s. Michael Ondaatje entwines adventure, romance and history, real and invented, enmeshing us in the lives of the immigrants who built the city and those who dreamed it into being: the politically powerful, the anarchists, bridge builders and tunnellers, a vanished millionaire and his mistress, a rescued nun and a thief who leads a charmed life. This is a haunting tale of passion, privilege and biting physical labour, of men and women moved by compassion and driven by the power of dreams -- sometimes even to murder.

評分一、虚实结合与明暗对立 卡拉瓦乔是明暗大师，或者干脆称他为暗调大师，因为他几乎不是用暗来烘托明，而是用明来突出暗！《圣母之死》中圣母的原型是一个死去的妓女。在《召唤使徒马太》中，马太被画成地地道道的农民。如果说暗是悲怆的真理，明则像皎洁的诡辩。我理解卡拉瓦乔...
