In a heartrending and astonishing novel, Eggers illuminates the history of the civil war in Sudan through the eyes of Valentino Achak Deng, a refugee now living in the United States. We follow his life as he's driven from his home as a boy and walks, with thousands of orphans, to Ethiopia, where he finds safety — for a time. Valentino's travels, truly Biblical in scope, bring him in contact with government soldiers, janjaweed-like militias, liberation rebels, hyenas and lions, disease and starvation — and a string of unexpected romances. Ultimately, Valentino finds safety in Kenya and, just after the millennium, is finally resettled in the United States, from where this novel is narrated. In this book, written with expansive humanity and surprising humor, we come to understand the nature of the conflicts in Sudan, the refugee experience in America, the dreams of the Dinka people, and the challenge one indomitable man faces in a world collapsing around him.

Sb. bought me a Kindle, and you have no sense of how long books are I realized it's a very long book, but it's just remarkable. It's the first Dave Eggers book I've read,I've read other stuff he's written. I think he's the best. The proceeds from the book all go to the ool that the characters created. He's such a unique writer and a wonderful guy

評分cao,讀英語小說真是太TMD簡單舒服瞭
在写评论之前纠结了好久,因为不想在就书中的故事而再分解重组,对它经行概述,变成一篇没有自己营养的东西,只是单纯的为了让别人了解这本书而写而已。很长时间之后我觉得更应该加入自己的想法和对内容的简介,这样可能过于个人化,但是在我看来却不让其显得过于空洞。大家想...
評分 評分 評分“这是一本关于成长的书,瓦伦蒂亚不停地沉思:人性本性、爱情和死亡,还有什么是什么。” 《什么是什么》不是小说,确切的是瓦伦蒂亚的诉告,他一个人对其他的倾诉,对自己过去的倾诉。不管是对劫匪、看守他的孩子、医生还是顾客,瓦伦蒂亚在倾诉自己的苦难,因为他不想自己...
