All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies'. Dr Felix Hoenikker, one of the founding fathers of the atomic bomb, has left a deadly legacy to the world. For he is the inventor of Ice-nine, a lethal chemical capable of freezing the entire planet. The search for its whereabouts leads to Hoenikker's three eccentric children, to a crazed dictator in the Caribbean, to madness. Will Felix Hoenikker's death wish come true? Will his last, fatal gift to humankind bring about the end that, for all of us, is nigh? Told with deadpan humour and bitter irony, Kurt Vonnegut's cult tale of global apocalypse preys on our deepest fears of witnessing the end and, worse still, surviving it...

评分这书有两个译本 一个是江西人民出版社的老版,还有一个译林的新版 网上也有在线阅读``基本和正版书靠不上谱 故事本身是很有意思的。 两种版本对照来看,则会觉得两者都有很大问题。
评分这种游戏很多人都玩过。双手的手指穿过毛线或橡皮筋,通过不同的组织方式,可以做出大桥、交叉道、手枪等各种不同的图形。我们叫“翻花绳”,大洋彼岸的人们也玩这种游戏,不过他们称之为"Cat's Cradle" - 猫的摇篮。 你可以很简单的来理解Vonnegut的这部小说:翻花绳可以...
评分用这样的文字写成的一部著作,翻译时想刻意省略些什么也难。因为它针对的不只是意识形态的对错,更是在探讨科学的利弊,它涉及的完全不是政治制度的孰优孰劣,而是人的社会性的虚伪本性。 想要知道自己每天接触的人事物究竟有着怎样的本质,看这书吧。
读的冯内古特的第一本书,简直着了迷,语言精简的同时又有如此深刻的隐喻。同时一起读的呼啸山庄相比之下简直啰嗦死了 读不下去(一不小心又捧一踩一了)很有意思的地方时这本书呼应Moby Dick的部分,之后会继续分析写些essay之类的。不得不说冯内古特的黑色幽默实在是妙,有的地方真的笑死,然后接着抑郁。。。宗教 科学 人类 本来就是无法下定论的话题,不管是Jonah还是Vonnegut,想到之前学黑色幽默文学时的一句话:这些作家认为世界这么糟了,我们也没什么可做的,不如就笑笑吧。
评分The ice-nine is useful, for its useless.
评分Man is vile, and man makes nothing worth making, knows nothing worth knowing.
评分哭了笑,笑了哭。
