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.
隻喜歡lisboa這章
評分原來裏斯本成為我的下個目的地,是從這裏開始的。
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。
評分最喜歡的段落:“There is a lift in it and the lift goes nowhere really. It takes people up, they take a look around from the platform and then it brings them down again. Owned by the tramway company. Now, a film, John, can do the same thing. It takes you up and brings you back to the same place. That's one of the reasons why people cry in the cinema."

評分对于约翰伯格而言,逝去数十年的母亲,一个活着的人,或者已经死去的,一个亲人或者启蒙导师,一个朋友或者情人,无论他们原本生活于或者死于哪座城市,总是能够经由梦幻之河泅渡到另一个真实存在的特定城市里,与他再次相遇。 艺术批评家,作家,画家,政治评论...
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...
評分一棵用金属支架造型的大树,他写为“人力的驯诱”。 他形容玩纸牌人的表情:精明又认命。 坐着不动的老妇:展示性的寂然不动。 母亲的步调:那是一个早已期待到达,期待坐下来的步伐。 慢慢寻找合适的字眼:咀嚼着,仿佛其中有个字包了一层软骨,得多嚼几回才能咽下。 那...
