Philip Michael Ondaatje, CC FRSL (born 12 September 1943), is a Sri Lanka-born Canadian poet, fiction writer, essayist, novelist, editor and filmmaker. He is the recipient of multiple literary awards such as the Governor General's Award, the Giller Prize, the Booker Prize, and the Prix Médicis étranger. Ondaatje is also an Officer of the Order of Canada, recognizing him as one of Canada's most renowned living authors. Ondaatje's literary career began with his poetry in 1967, publishing The Dainty Monsters, and then in 1970 the critically acclaimed The Collected Works of Billy the Kid. However, he is more recently recognized for his nationally and internationally successful novel The English Patient (1992), which was adapted into a film in 1996. In 2018, Ondaatje won the Golden Man Booker Prize for The English Patient. In addition to his literary writing, Ondaatje has been an important force in "fostering new Canadian writing" with two decades commitment to Coach House Press (around 1970-90), and his editorial credits on Canadian literary projects like the journal Brick, and the Long Poem Anthology (1979), among others.
The final curtain is closing on the Second World War, and Hana, a nurse, stays behind in an abandoned Italian villa to tend to her only remaining patient. Rescued by Bedouins from a burning plane, he is English, anonymous, damaged beyond recognition and haunted by his memories of passion and betrayal. The only clue Hana has to his past is the one thing he clung on to through the fire? a copy of The Histories by Herodotus, covered with hand-written notes describing a painful and ultimately tragic love affair.

評分很早的时候看了电影,当时对最后凯瑟琳的信印象很深刻。十一放假前图书馆溜了一圈时看到,高三兵荒马乱,我还是狠下心借来看完了。高三是紧张,电影反成了释放压力的方式,书倒是越看越少了。 看的时候经常就会显现电影的片段。比如风扇的转动,昏黄被切割的光。原本只是自我想...
評分 評分Well, I have to say, the book is quite different from the movie. One can regard them as separated work. Though they both are based on the same plot and characters, the way they present the story, the pattern and tone, the main focus of the story telling are...
評分love it
评分英文很美,和整本小說的主題一樣,帶有現在已經罕見的舊大陸的老派優雅。雖然翻譯們已經盡力瞭,但是原文的美感仍然沒有被完全地發掘。然後我是聽的ralph fiennes的朗誦版,實在是太銷魂瞭。
评分正好看到一句話,“愛情一旦遭到心智的乾預,意誌的加強,或當作人格的附庸,自我的占有,它已經不是愛,而是一團糟。”
评分Madox brings Anna Karenina, Almasy brings Herodotus, I bring the English Patient.
评分Love never die but we die for love
