莎拉・杜楠特生活在倫敦和佛羅倫薩。寫過八部小說,編過兩本文集,其中小說《一錯再錯》(Transgressions)和《敢為人先》(Mappin9 theEdge)被搬上銀幕,引起瞭公眾廣泛的注意。她的職業生涯十分復雜,曾在電視颱、廣播電颱和齣版業工作過,現在仍是英國廣播電颱品牌藝術節目“夜間電波”的播音員。
Alessandra Cecchi is not quite fifteen when her father, a prosperous cloth merchant, brings a young painter back from northern Europe to decorate the chapel walls in the family’s Florentine palazzo. A child of the Renaissance, with a precocious mind and a talent for drawing, Alessandra is intoxicated by the painter’s abilities.
But their burgeoning relationship is interrupted when Alessandra’s parents arrange her marriage to a wealthy, much older man. Meanwhile, Florence is changing, increasingly subject to the growing suppression imposed by the fundamentalist monk Savonarola, who is seizing religious and political control. Alessandra and her native city are caught between the Medici state, with its love of luxury, learning, and dazzling art, and the hellfire preaching and increasing violence of Savonarola’s reactionary followers. Played out against this turbulent backdrop, Alessandra’s married life is a misery, except for the surprising freedom it allows her to pursue her powerful attraction to the young painter and his art.
The Birth of Venus is a tour de force, the first historical novel from one of Britain’s most innovative writers of literary suspense. It brings alive the history of Florence at its most dramatic period, telling a compulsively absorbing story of love, art, religion, and power through the passionate voice of Alessandra, a heroine with the same vibrancy of spirit as her beloved city.

一口气吐完了《维纳斯的诞生》。 看完之后又有种莫名的低落,是因为亚历山德拉的死吗?说不上,总之,这不是个完满的结局。但是相比较那些矫揉做作的众多影视作品最终仓促的假完美来说,我宁愿品尝前者凄楚的残缺。 其实,对女主人来说,何谓残缺?就像她说的:现在记忆...
評分石板路,蛋彩画,班驳的墙壁,美丽的华服,悲喜交加的爱情... 如果可以穿越一次,我愿意穿越到文艺复兴时期的佛罗伦萨. 私认为佛罗伦萨那另一个浪漫的名字:翡冷翠,并不是那样能体现出这个城市的精粹. 因为这个名字所包含的色彩太冷,不是散发着暖色光环的花城所要表现的.

評分吸引我买<维纳斯的诞生>的并非简介,而是书上的标签.虽然简介写得很是花哨,比如私生子,还有娈童者什么,不过真正的原因是推荐它的是纽约时报的畅销书。我先前谈过的谭恩美的小说也曾经是这里的座上客,在我的感觉中,时报的推荐书,和获得了中国的矛盾文学奖一样,总是会吸引...

评分A superficial story with smooth sentences and some extreme but irrelevant scenes
评分一段文藝復興時期狗血的愛情故事,但由於糅閤瞭關於宗教,藝術,自由,欲望的描述與討論,還是有趣,值得一讀,但確實不如煙花散盡和神聖的心優雅。
评分結尾並不如我所期待,這確實是一本很engaging的書,如果可以明天寫兩本書的reviews。
评分Dunant shows her love for Florence, as the city---all its landscapes and sounds and smells lived vividly through the novel. I do enjoy the metaphorical "Birth" of our lady in the novel but the ending was just, rushed. Pretty engaging read.
