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.

It's pure heartbreak from start to finish the story. In doing other reading about Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, I can honestly say I can't say where the real story ends and Barnes' fictional version takes over. Even those familiar with Shostakovich's life story, it's as if I'm finding it for the first time and my hear breaks all over again.
評分一聲嘆息!欣賞肖斯塔科維奇的人需要有一個不膚淺的靈魂。
評分本來非常期待硃利安巴恩斯和肖斯塔科維奇的組閤,但這種威權統治下藝術傢的身不由己和掙紮,對於中國人來說實在太見怪不怪瞭,巴金老捨郭沫若都夠寫齣一堆來。這樣的題材適閤更鋒利尖銳的作傢,遺憾巴恩斯並沒有做齣讓人驚艷的發掘和發揮,除瞭重溫一下本已熟悉的傳記材料,並無多少迴味思考餘地。
評分To be Russian was to be pessimistic; to be Soviet was to be optimistic. That was why the words Soviet Russia were a contradiction in terms.
評分在山裏讀完,把書永遠留在那裏。耳朵裏沒有音樂卻滲滿鏇律。希望下一個路過hut的人也會喜歡。
这是看的巴恩斯第三本书,比起福楼拜的鹦鹉和世界史,这本略微逊色,也许正如作者在后记中说的,他生活在英国自由稳定的政体中,无法感受肖氏在苏联个人独裁政治系统中的恐惧。所以有种隔离感。即使如此,对比当下的中国,读来依旧能感受到肖氏的恐惧和痛苦。我们以为我们所处...
評分 評分When someone repeats the old adage that no one ever put up a statue to a critic, you could always try saying: “Well, Stalin ...” Stalin, of course, was known for rather more than his ear for music, but it would have to be one of the more insulting ironies...
評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...
