A compact masterpiece dedicated to the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich: Julian Barnes’s first novel since his best-selling, Man Booker Prize–winning The Sense of an Ending.
In 1936, Shostakovich, just thirty, fears for his livelihood and his life. Stalin, hitherto a distant figure, has taken a sudden interest in his work and denounced his latest opera. Now, certain he will be exiled to Siberia (or, more likely, executed on the spot), Shostakovich reflects on his predicament, his personal history, his parents, various women and wives, his children—and all who are still alive themselves hang in the balance of his fate. And though a stroke of luck prevents him from becoming yet another casualty of the Great Terror, for decades to come he will be held fast under the thumb of despotism: made to represent Soviet values at a cultural conference in New York City, forced into joining the Party and compelled, constantly, to weigh appeasing those in power against the integrity of his music. Barnes elegantly guides us through the trajectory of Shostakovich’s career, at the same time illuminating the tumultuous evolution of the Soviet Union. The result is both a stunning portrait of a relentlessly fascinating man and a brilliant exploration of the meaning of art and its place in society.
JULIAN BARNES is the author of twenty previous books including, most recently, Keeping an Eye Open: Essays on Art. He has received the Man Booker Prize, the Somerset Maugham Award, the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, the David Cohen Prize for Literature, and the E. M. Forster Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters; in France, the Prix Médicis and the Prix Femina; in Austria, the State Prize for European Literature. In 2004 he was named Commandeur de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture. His work has been translated into more than forty languages. He lives in London.

My hero is a coward
评分本来非常期待朱利安巴恩斯和肖斯塔科维奇的组合,但这种威权统治下艺术家的身不由己和挣扎,对于中国人来说实在太见怪不怪了,巴金老舍郭沫若都够写出一堆来。这样的题材适合更锋利尖锐的作家,遗憾巴恩斯并没有做出让人惊艳的发掘和发挥,除了重温一下本已熟悉的传记材料,并无多少回味思考余地。
评分Tragedies in hindsight look like farces. Sarcasm was irony which had lost its soul. A soul could be destroyed in one of three ways: by what others did to you; by what others made you do to yourself; and by what you voluntarily chose to do to yourself.
评分肖斯塔科维奇身上有所有我认为的艺术家气质,纤弱、神经质、自我、怯懦和纯粹 “egotistical and pessimistic“ “an optimistic Shostakovich”本来就是个矛盾的词组,music for the People令人恶心。音乐只是音乐而已,一切工具化都是犯罪。怯懦的背面是自我嘲讽自我死亡,怯懦需要勇气啊
评分Presumably Barnes at his best.
权力羞辱了我们每一个人,有人流血成为了英雄,有人成为了历史上的懦夫,更多的人没有留下名字。但我们应该清楚,权力也双倍、反复地羞辱了懦夫,权力在官方、在私下,权力无处不在,你永远活在羞辱中。 肖斯塔科维奇访美,因为政治立场的问题,他崇敬的斯特拉文斯基拒绝了这次...
评分 评分世人都瞧不起懦夫,崇拜英雄。 懦夫只为了自己能够活下来,唯唯诺诺,尽所有丧尽尊严之事都可以。英雄则为了理想或者是其它崇高的事物,毅然决然的不惜以生命为代价去追求。在文学作品中,歌颂英雄和英雄主义是永恒的主题。 但在《时间的噪音》中,歌颂的却是一位懦夫。 他...
评分为了肖斯塔科维奇读的 其实借肖氏之口表达很多自己的观点 是文学价值高于记录性质的。 “什么能对抗时间的噪音?只有我们自己内心的音乐,关于我们存在的音乐,有些人将它转化成了真正的音乐。几十年后,如果这样的音乐足够强大、真实、纯净,能淹没时间的噪音,它就能够转化为...
