This acadamy-award winning screenplay by John Irving was written over a fourteen year period and is the companion screenplay to the Miramax film, co-starring Michael Caine, who won the Acadmy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Dr.Wilbur Larch.
The Cider House Rules is set in rural Maine in the first half of this century. It tells the story of Homer Wells, an orphan who is raised and mentored by Wilbur Larch, the doctor at the orphanage. Dr. Larch teaches Homer eveything about medicine. Yet though his capacity for kindness is saintly, Larch is also an ether addict. He and Homer come into conflict, which is typical of many father-son relationships, but in this case, their conflict is intensified by their disagreements about abortion. The result is Homer leaves the only family he has ever known.
Homer's new life provides more excitement than he could have imagined, especially when he falls in love for the first time. But, when forced to make decisions that will change the course of his future, Homer finally realizes that he can't escape his past. The Cider House Rules is ultimately about the choices we make and the rules that are meant to be broken.
JOHN IRVING was born in Exeter, New Hampshire, in 1942. His first novel, Setting Free the Bears, was published in 1968, when he was twenty-six. He competed as a wrestler for twenty years, and coached wrestling until he was forty-seven.
Mr. Irving has been nominated for a National Book Award three times—winning once, in 1980, for his novel The World According to Garp. He received an O. Henry Award in 1981 for his short story “Interior Space.” In 2000, Mr. Irving won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Cider House Rules. In 2013, he won a Lambda Literary Award for his novel In One Person.
An international writer—his novels have been translated into more than thirty-five languages—John Irving lives in Toronto. His all-time best-selling novel, in every language, is A Prayer for Owen Meany.
Avenue of Mysteries is his fourteenth novel.
from ~6.20| when you read a brief history of St. Cloud's and read about his elaborate plan to exempt Homer from military draft as well as to resurrect Fuzzy Stone you realize Dr. Larch was a much deeper character than Homer who like most of John's protagonist was lovable but a bit bland a novel of his grandfather's generation

近期我看了一部鸿篇巨制的小说——约翰•欧文的《苹果酒屋的规则》,这本书有七百多页,五十万字,从一九二零年代写起,跨越五六十年的历史,写了三代人的悲欢离合。 书中人物众多,三代人有数十个人,但因为欧文擅长讲故事,人物性格和命运被他刻画得非常真实可信,情感又细...
評分欧文的书看的第一本是寡居的一年,昨天把另外一本看完,是苹果酒屋的法则。 看欧文的书是需要一点耐心的,因为他总是能把一件平凡无奇的事,别人可能只用几句话一笔带过的事,浩浩荡荡写成几十页。所以这本书很长。长得感觉等不到尽头。但并不是说它无聊,因为欧文的语言有他自...
評分“可你已经给了他承诺,”荷马说。 “是的,”坎蒂说,“可承诺本身不就是耐心等待,顺其自然吗?难道你不曾真心许下诺言,后来却违反了当初的承诺吗?” ——摘自《苹果酒屋的规则》P421 随着时光的流逝,那些曾经在你心目中至关重要的人,却在你生命中的...
