English anthropologist Andrew Bankson has been alone in the field for several years, studying the Kiona river tribe in the Territory of New Guinea. Haunted by the memory of his brothers’ deaths and increasingly frustrated and isolated by his research, Bankson is on the verge of suicide when a chance encounter with colleagues, the controversial Nell Stone and her wry and mercurial Australian husband Fen, pulls him back from the brink. Nell and Fen have just fled the bloodthirsty Mumbanyo and, in spite of Nell’s poor health, are hungry for a new discovery. When Bankson finds them a new tribe nearby, the artistic, female-dominated Tam, he ignites an intellectual and romantic firestorm between the three of them that burns out of anyone’s control.
Set between two World Wars and inspired by events in the life of revolutionary anthropologist Margaret Mead, Euphoria is an enthralling story of passion, possession, exploration, and sacrifice from accomplished author Lily King.
我不知道该怎么给这本《欢愉》分类,并不是传统意义上的言情小说,也不是一部科普小说,起源于美国著名人类学家玛格丽特的真实故事,不仅有三个人的感情纠葛,还介绍了人类学家的工作日常,以及一些原始部落的特殊仪式。 书中三位主角,内尔、芬和班克森均是人类学家,内尔和芬...
评分人类一直就是一个很复杂的动物,尤其在自我的认识上,似乎总会有一种可能爆发性的成长与觉知,让原来本来没有意义事件变得不朽,时间其实不是无聊的,有时候在死去局部的人生当中,就能深刻的体会到自我的孤独。我们在看别人的经历时,常常会以观看者的方式去思考,其实现实总...
评分2016 Reading List #9 ✓ | 史上最成功的fanfic,哈哈。说正经的,是挺长一段时间以来读到最棒的爱情故事,作者把两位主角的声音把握得很精准,对人类学的讲解也很有意思,细腻的人物刻画读起来是一种享受。只是Fen完全是个villain的形象,是不是把他写得太典型了呀。悲剧结局真是现实的升华,一下就凄美了。
评分我也不知道该说什么了。不喜欢Fen 喜欢Bankson
评分不喜欢 后面一小半看中文
评分Much better than many best-sellers(esp. campus novels),esp. with the primitive life aspects. Plus I have predicted the affair from the very beginning. Oh,the ending made me a little blue.
评分別人問我人類學是什麼的時候我不會叫他們去讀Euphoria 但我看到一個outsider/a fan of Margaret Mead’s theories 去了解學者和學者的personal lives之間關係的努力when she wrote, in Mead’s voice, that she puts herself in her ethnographic notes cuz she wants to remember the feeling of sitting and being with the native ppl so that she may recall things she did not think important enough to write down.
