From the New York Times bestselling author of Rules of Civility—a transporting novel about a man who is ordered to spend the rest of his life inside a luxury hotel
“In all ways a great novel, a nonstop pleasure brimming with charm, personal wisdom, and philosophic insight . . .this book more than fulfills the promise of Towles' stylish debut, Rules of Civility." – Kirkus Reviews (starred)
With his breakout debut novel, Rules of Civility, Amor Towles established himself as a master of absorbing, sophisticated fiction, bringing late 1930s Manhattan to life with splendid atmosphere and a flawless command of style. Readers and critics were enchanted; as NPR commented, “Towles writes with grace and verve about the mores and manners of a society on the cusp of radical change.”
A Gentleman in Moscow immerses us in another elegantly drawn era with the story of Count Alexander Rostov. When, in 1922, he is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the count is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him a doorway into a much larger world of emotional discovery.
Brimming with humor, a glittering cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene after another, this singular novel casts a spell as it relates the count’s endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man of purpose.
文/栗一白 在很多时候,虚与委蛇和没话找话之后,大多数人想要的其实很简单,就是一份安宁和平静,那么,在平静中看一部步步惊心而又时时可放松的小说,无疑是最好的选择,没错,这是埃默•托尔斯式的开场白,然而,真正的开场,精彩的过程,高潮的结局是这样的: 一、剧场般...
評分1922年6月21日亚历山大·伊里奇·罗斯托夫伯爵被苏联内务人民委员部紧急委员会判决软禁于莫斯科大都会酒店(之前伯爵已在酒店住了近四年)。对于这个以“用餐,交谈,阅读,思考”打发时间,不事生产的富有魅力“有闲阶层”,相比被投进监狱、被枪决的大多数旧俄贵族这个判决可...

雖然我不喜歡Amor Towles,不得不說他這個人真的文筆很不錯
评分讀到Sofia齣現,變得有趣起來。另外作者文筆用詞很高超,看完能學到很多新詞。
评分近年最驚喜沒有之一 || Perhaps the most I cried over a book since war and peace. a little bit more and it would have been too dramatic, or cliche, or political
评分正好看到自己之前的一篇書評說“有些風雅是建立在安穩無憂的生活之上,就像一個美麗的瓷瓶,可供平時賞玩,但經不住磨難的考驗”,Rostov絕對是另一種風雅,在糟糕的境地也能保有內心的寜靜和高潔,和他形成鮮明對比的就是Bishop,這類人一點不陌生,對方的良善反而讓他們感覺是居高臨下的傲慢,於是由自卑生發齣愈加惡劣的行徑。作者的敘述舉重若輕,每一個詞都能感受到Rostov的優雅風度,不刻意營造home arrest的氛圍,但是融於日常生活中的無形的改變更加波瀾壯闊,讓人反而驚嘆它的深度。
评分2020年讀過的第一本書,作為一本fiction,可以和the book thief媲美瞭。
