On a chilly February day, two old friends meet in the throng outside a London crematorium to pay their last respects to Molly Lane. Both Clive Linley and Vernon Halliday had been Molly's lovers in the days before they reached their current eminence: Clive is Britain's most successful modern composer, and Vernon is editor of the newspaper The Judge. Gorgeous, feisty Molly had other lovers, too, notably Julian Garmony, Foreign Secretary, a notorious right-winger tipped to be the next prime minister. In the days that follow Molly's funeral, Clive and Vernon will make a pact with consequences that neither could have foreseen. Each will make a disastrous moral decision, their friendship will be tested to its limits, and Julian Garmony will be fighting for his political life. A sharp contemporary morality tale, cleverly disguised as a comic novel, Amsterdam is "as sheerly enjoyable a book as one is likely to pick up this year" (The Washington Post Book World).
虽然都死得难看,但并不代表不存在道德困境,其根源是评判尺度的缺失。比如弗农方面,个人恩怨,一己或小范围私利,如果混杂着政治因素,那么卑鄙与智慧、残忍与勇气的边界就变得模糊不清。杨壮士就是我们的实例。 高压力的现代生活也加速人的堕落,在令人窒息的快节奏中总是倾...

评分1970年,普林斯顿大学的心理学教授巴特森做了一个实验。他找来47名神学院学生,交代他们从心理系出发到社会学系大楼,至于到达后的具体任务,则因人而异。在这条路上,巴特森还安排了一位“可怜人”:他头发蓬乱,双眼迷离,坐在大楼前、咳嗽并呻吟着。实验结果令人惊讶:决定...

评分4.5. I thought it was a moral tale, it's not quite. McEwan explores the grey zone between morals and legality, while being a wonderful story-teller. It is maybe too slick how the story ends. In general I like its narrative, clean, sophisticated, polished.
评分读完觉得世界灰暗了两个等级
