The Ocean at the End of the Lane pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.
Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie—magical, comforting, wise beyond her years—promised to protect him, no matter what.
A groundbreaking work from a master, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. It is a stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.
I make things up and write them down. Which takes us from comics (like SANDMAN) to novels (like ANANSI BOYS and AMERICAN GODS) to short stories (some are collected in SMOKE AND MIRRORS) and to occasionally movies (like Dave McKean's MIRRORMASK or the NEVERWHERE TV series, or my own short film A SHORT FILM ABOUT JOHN BOLTON).
In my spare time I read and sleep and eat and try to keep the blog at www.neilgaiman.com more or less up to date.
As simple as children's book, but the meanings behind it are way beyond than what you expected. You will be surprised, like I did.
评分今年的Xmas gift!超惊喜。一拿到就忍不住翻了起来,一口气翻了几十页觉得这样下去这么厚一本应该很快读完了又不舍,于是强令自己减慢速度。。。--果然一个晚上读完,是248页啦不是190页。世界观设定果然又宏大了起来,可是感觉很多东西都没讲清楚。NG 有了自己的模板了,看到中间一直忍不住想到卡罗琳的故事。以及他果然是个永远长不大的,玻璃心的7岁小男孩。
评分尼尔·盖曼真喜欢写这种毫·无·背·景·可·言的小说啊,读者不是想在神话、历史或者其他作品中找reference吗?“诶嘿嘿我就是不让你们找得到~~~” ……= =。不过这本里对男孩子恐惧心理的描写真不错,能让人有切肤之感。
评分3.5 虽然叙述角度是儿童但是这么黑的细节你确定这个是给孩子看的吗?笔下世界依旧精彩不过因为设定所限所有格局小了很多。三代Hempstock三位一体,祖母,母亲,女儿;过去,现在,未来。生于这个世界,我们只是过客。就像童年那朦胧宏大的冒险,在开出drive way之后,变得再次无法触及。Lattie回归了ocean,而我们,不管怎么尝试,只会记得她去了澳洲。就如同耳朵一边是白色的小黑猫一样,她们是永存的,出现又离开的是我们。
评分听了两次都听不下去的有声书, 不打星了
译文版又一次让中文读者领先于英文读者,抢先读到了盖曼叔的这本文艺格调翻番的新作。这回的翻译完成得相当漂亮。插画方面也不赖。美版的封面文艺又孤独,中译本的则更子供向一些,被装点成一个温暖的画片集。 内容上,这回盖曼叔走的是罗伯特·麦卡蒙《奇风岁...
评分车道尽头的海洋,直接看名字真不知道什么意思。某次买书看到尼尔盖曼的名字就带回来了,儿子说应该支持姚海军,姚是这套世界奇幻大师丛书的主编。如果我当时看到《坟场之书》《美国众神》可能还是会选更著名的那两本。 书只有220页,开本也不大,方便携带,所以...
评分This is my smallest book, it's my most personal book. But just because it's small, don't let that fool you. There is weirdness and fantasy, there is magic and fear, there is childhood and an awful lot more wrapped up in a tiny package, just in the way that ...
