Graham Swift’s extraordinary masterpiece—a finalist for the Booker Prize—WATERLAND weaves together eels and incest, ale-making and madness, the heartless sweep of history and a family romance as tormented as Greek tragedy into one epic story.
In the flat, watery Fen Country of East Anglia, a passionate history teacher named Tom Crick is being forced into early retirement from the school where he has taught for thirty years. When a student rebelliously questions the value of the subject to which Tom has devoted his life, Tom responds with his own personal retrospective. His story—intertwined with the stories of the local wetlands, the French Revolution, and World War II, among other things—throws light onto the dark circumstances of the current day, revealing how his wife’s tragic youth led to the events surrounding his forced retirement. A monumental tribute to the past, a gripping multigenerational family saga, and a powerful affirmation of the history of self, this exceptional novel illuminates the cycles of time in which we live.

格雷厄姆•斯威夫特,英国当代著名小说家,1949年出生于伦敦,自幼酷爱阅读,自学写作,发表过多部长短篇作品。1983年,小说《水之乡》为他赢得了布克奖提名,并摘得《卫报》小说奖。1996年,小说《杯酒留痕》力挫群雄,夺得当年的布克奖,以此奠定了他在英国文坛的重要地位。
虽然推荐这本书的人跟我在思想上有诸多相似处,一开始我并没对它抱太大期望,原因是担心风格太文艺晦涩,可能不是我的类型。现在我知道自己先入为主的看法错了,这本小说确实很文艺,但外表文艺的同时也很有内在的料。 设定极具野心,而最终Graham Swift可以说是成功了:很少...
评分不过,当时买这本书真的是因为被逼无奈,老师明确要求写水之乡的论文,我赶啊赶啊到最后还是不得不为节省时间买来了中文版,花了两天时间来读完它。叙述方式很奇特,许多条线索盘根错节,所以刚开始读的时候进度很慢且索然无味,但越到后面越觉得惊心动魄,看得我险些跟着一起...

评分无尽的时间深藏于历史--看看这个故事可以追溯到哪个阿特金森,或者斯科特。 一切都从那里开始,最后又回到那里。 犯下的错误还是遭遇的激情,都不再重要,那种淡淡的忧伤会伴随着时间的沧桑,冲破故事本身,回到每个人物身上。 好像真的有一条河,我们坐在河边上。
