The Island pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
The Petrakis family lives in the small Greek seaside village of Plaka. Just off the coast is the tiny island of Spinalonga, where the nation's leper colony once was located—a place that has haunted four generations of Petrakis women. There's Eleni, ripped from her husband and two young daughters and sent to Spinalonga in 1939, and her daughters Maria, finding joy in the everyday as she dutifully cares for her father, and Anna, a wild child hungry for passion and a life anywhere but Plaka. And finally there's Alexis, Eleni's great-granddaughter, visiting modern-day Greece to unlock her family's past.
A richly enchanting novel of lives and loves unfolding against the backdrop of the Mediterranean during World War II, The Island is an enthralling story of dreams and desires, of secrets desperately hidden, and of leprosy's touch on an unforgettable family.
Victoria Hislop is the internationally bestselling author of The Island and The Return. She writes travel features for the Sunday Telegraph, the Mail on Sunday, House & Garden, and Woman & Home. She divides her time among rural Kent, London, and Crete. She is married and has two children.
看這本書完全受宣傳影響--“感動瞭整個歐洲的小說”結果沒有感動我半點,反而覺得作者的處女作讀起來很生硬,用詞不親切。很想渲染氣氛卻又找不到切入點,有點故弄玄虛的感覺。再有故事太老套瞭,其實想想聚集著一群麻風病的一個小島,不能隻單純的談島上的生活,所以作者拓展,結果德軍什麼的都來瞭
評分女權主義也太明顯瞭
評分雖然費瞭很久終於看完瞭英文版,但估計睡一覺就會忘光吧……
評分看扉頁上,上麵說這小說號稱感動瞭整個歐洲。看完之後,覺得這話有些浮誇瞭,但是的確算是本好書,一個傢族的故事,一個被麻風病籠罩的島嶼,人間的冷漠與真情。有時候不說,隻是害怕大傢知曉秘密後無情的冷漠,沒有足夠強大的心來抵禦這人間的歧視冷眼
評分以前有人給我推薦的時候說是講述愛情如何如何。看過之後發現愛情雖然燦爛,但是親情的厚重更讓人感動。喜歡那個沉默寡言,理智的尼可拉斯醫生
我只能怀疑翻译的水平,有些话幼稚得不得了。书对时间的交代模模糊糊。很多都没展开,人物形象塑造得很干瘪,一点也不立体。
評分想看岛是在亚马逊上看到了它的简介和名人的书评,可是看完之后,我一直在回想,它让人潸然泪下的情节在哪里?刚开始想可能从来没有了解过麻风病的人很少能体会到那种独特的情感,但是后来想想,书本来就是传递一些大部分人不知道的东西给读者,而岛涉及到感人的情节的描写很平...
評分读英国作家维多利亚•希斯洛普的处女作《岛》的间隙,不时会想到桑塔格在《疾病的隐喻》中的论述:疾病是生命的阴暗面,是一重更为麻烦的公民身份。我们每个人生活在世上都有双重的公民身份,其一属于健康王国,而另一种则属于疾病王国。尽管我们都很乐于享用健康王国的护照...
評分书商宣称的——“令整个欧洲潸然泪下的故事”,未让我落泪,我不是铁石心肠,只是本书绝不至于像宣传那样的叫全人类都得发怮。 在某几节的时候,已经准备好了眼泪,但总在下一秒消失无影了,一切都太轻了,轻的比不上曾经很多被泪水打湿过的故事。等到阖上书页,我把那些泪...
