With effortless grace, celebrated author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie illuminates a seminal moment in modern African history: Biafra's impassioned struggle to establish an independent republic in southeastern Nigeria during the late 1960s. We experience this tumultuous decade alongside five unforgettable characters: Ugwu, a thirteen-year-old houseboy who works for Odenigbo, a university professor full of revolutionary zeal; Olanna, the professor’s beautiful young mistress who has abandoned her life in Lagos for a dusty town and her lover’s charm; and Richard, a shy young Englishman infatuated with Olanna’s willful twin sister Kainene. Half of a Yellow Sun is a tremendously evocative novel of the promise, hope, and disappointment of the Biafran war.
阿迪奇埃所描绘的是上世纪60年代的尼日利亚,是时空距离颇为遥远的一个生活状态,但她的叙述却让我频频地将之与现实生活作对照,这体现了作者的野心不局限于成就一部史诗巨作。 在书中可以看到,人性中的恶如何在群体中、在资源不足的情况下被充分激发;将人贴上不同的标签,以...
评分2013年,电影《半轮黄日》在多伦多电影节上映,海报上饱满得似乎将要溢出的橙红色至今仍让我感到惊艳。“半轮黄日”既是故事中尼日利亚内战期间比亚法拉共和国的国旗图案,也是这种橙红色出现在天空中的魔术时刻。电影改编自尼日利亚女作家阿迪契获得2007年橘子奖的同名长篇小...
评分我们看到68年的一组照片了吗? 孩子们的头发变成了锈斑,一片片,附着在那些脑袋上,如此病态, 然后脱落,如尘上腐烂的叶。 想象一下吧,双臂细如牙签的孩子,肚大如箩,皮肤撑开,很薄 这叫恶性营养不良 一个很难的单词 一个不算难看之至的单词,一种罪孽。 赤身裸体的孩子们...
评分这本书我拖拖拉拉了好久才看完,看完的时候感觉心情十分复杂。这是一部以尼日利亚内战为历史背景的半真实半虚构小说。从看到战争爆发那段开始,就觉得很难受,因此影响了阅读速度。这是我阅读的第一本非洲文学。最大的障碍是很难去想象书中的人、场景、环境这些。于是在快看完...
唯一的印象是黑人小黄书。。。我错了
评分她的每本书都是那么引人入胜,这本也不例外。这本书讲述了几个以尼日利亚境内发生的战争为背景的故事。人物鲜明,不仅仅来自于他们都是出于不同的阶层,更加重要的是这些人物的发展,而战争在期间起到了推波助澜的作用。如果改变为一部电影,应该会很好看。朗读者演绎了作者的所有的书本,每一本都非常精彩。听过采访作者的录音,也是很有自己的特色。
评分唯一的印象是黑人小黄书。。。我错了
评分细水长流的震撼。“War is always ugly.” Ugwu的篇章最生动。
评分Adichie真是太会讲故事了—关乎尼日利亚内战,热血的Biafra共和国,美丽坚韧的Olanna,自信直率的Kainene,生动好学的Ugwu,难得不是殖民者姿态的Richard和在战争中消沉的所谓反抗者Odenigbo…真是举重若轻的记录和叙述。
