One of the most widely admired writers of our time returns us to the captivating play and narrative allure of his previous novels—G. and To the Wedding among them—with a shimmering fiction drawn from chapters of his own life.
One hot afternoon in Lisbon, our narrator, John, finds his mother, who had died fifteen years earlier, seated on a park bench. “The dead don’t stay where they are buried,” she tells him. And so begins a remarkable odyssey, told in simple yet gorgeous prose and with the openness to personal and political currents that has always marked John Berger’s work.
Having promised his mother that he will henceforth pay close attention to the dead, John takes us to a woman’s bed during the 1943 bombardment of London, to a Polish market where carrier pigeons are sold, to a Paleolithic cave, to the Ritz Hotel in Madrid. Along the way, we meet an English aristocrat who always drives barefoot, a pedophile schoolmaster, a Spanish sculptor who cheats at poker, and Rosa Luxemburg, among other long-gone presences, and John lets us choose to love each of them as much as he still does.
This is a unique literary journey in which a writer’s life and work are inseparable: a fiction but not a conventional novel, a narration in the author’s voice but not a memoir, a portrait that moves freely through time and space but never loses its foothold in the present, a confession that brings with it not regret but a rich deepening of sensual and emotional understanding.
John Berger is a novelist, storyteller, poet, screenwriter, and art critic. His previous books include the Into Their Labours trilogy (Pig Earth, Once in Europa, and Lilac and Flag), About Looking, and Ways of Seeing (all available in paperback from Vintage Books). He was awarded the Booker Prize for G. and received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Lannan Foundation. Born in England, he has for many years lived in a small rural community in France.
非常喜歡這種安靜 娓娓道來的敘說方式 讀的時候總讓我想到讀川端康成的感覺
評分沒看完????不喜歡
評分當年的衝動消費,如今一拿起就放不下
評分用幾個虛構故事勾勒齣的歐洲城市遊記,我這種英語水平的人讀起來吃力。
評分"Women always wonder about other lives, most men are too ambitious to understand this."這是閱讀的女性高於男性的原因嗎?很少有作者的作品能夠像John Berger那般豐富。這既是一本由多個時空流淌交錯的故事所組成的小說,同時又講瞭一個有關storytelling的故事。
地志学书写与记忆术 ——梁文道谈约翰•伯格之二 编 者:谈一谈您读完《我们在此相遇》的感受吧。 梁文道:首先,伯格是一个很好的作家。今天大家对他的认识是艺术评论家,其实他写小说的历史比他写艺术评论还早,做文学创作的经历非常非常老。他从开始就是一个时事评...
評分我快要睡着时,它就用闪光的句子犒劳我。像古时候带着锦囊的诗人,约翰·伯格写出优美的句子,把爱和梦想变成时间、空间和有形的存在。“梦想搁在行李架上,收进背包和旅行箱里。”“每一份爱都能发明一套词汇,都能打造一处掩体躲藏其下。”他把锦囊中的纸片随意挥洒,它们掉...
評分阅读不是为了获取知识,而是为了享乐,为了从书中辨认出某种击中内心深处的东西。 约翰·伯格的《我们在此相遇》,让我同时收获了知识与共情。导读部分是梁文道关于约翰·伯格的访谈。他称约翰伯格是“西方左翼浪漫精神”的真正传人,于是,下意识,也把他和政治挂上了钩。但整...
評分我的2011年度之书。 1 《我们在此相遇》( Here is Where We Meet )由约翰·伯格在暮年写就,为悼亡录,“一本以七个城市串联而成的记忆之书,死亡之书,爱之书,成长之书”。我去台湾时买回这本,后来发现广西师范大学出版社已有引进版,译者同为台湾人吴莉君。 2011年...
評分约翰,你是真的老了。 老到那样一个地步,死亡已近在眼前,触手可摸,踏进去是一步,退回来也是一步,仿佛一重薄如蝉翼的帘幕,这面与那面,其实没有多少分别,是黄昏也是黎明,是永眠也是醒来。在这轻而薄的明昧之境,生命中的亡魂缓缓现身,你们交谈,偶或沉思,世界于是铺...
