From the internationally acclaimed, best-selling author of The English Patient: a mesmerizing new novel that tells a dramatic story set in the decade after World War II through the lives of a small group of unexpected characters and two teenagers whose lives are indelibly shaped by their unwitting involvement.
In a narrative as beguiling and mysterious as memory itself--shadowed and luminous at once--we read the story of fourteen-year-old Nathaniel, and his older sister, Rachel. In 1945, just after World War II, they stay behind in London when their parents move to Singapore, leaving them in the care of a mysterious figure named The Moth. They suspect he might be a criminal, and they grow both more convinced and less concerned as they come to know his eccentric crew of friends: men and women joined by a shared history of unspecified service during the war, all of whom seem, in some way, determined now to protect, and educate (in rather unusual ways) Rachel and Nathaniel. But are they really what and who they claim to be? And what does it mean when the siblings' mother returns after months of silence without their father, explaining nothing, excusing nothing? A dozen years later, Nathaniel begins to uncover all that he didn't know and understand in that time, and it is this journey--through facts, recollection, and imagination--that he narrates in this masterwork from one of the great writers of our time.
Michael Ondaatje is the author of six previous novels, a memoir, a nonfiction book on film, and several books of poetry. The English Patient won the Booker Prize; Anil's Ghost won the Irish Times International Fiction Prize, the Giller Prize, and the Prix Médicis. Born in Sri Lanka, Michael Ondaatje now lives in Toronto.
用平淡且娓娓道来的叙事方式,呈现了后战争时代情报人员隐蔽但非同寻常的人生,触动人心
评分我还是最爱Part1。读到中间段落其实内心里已经有些明了了,翁达杰在Part1里描述的十分动人,迷惘之下缺失且一直在寻找着的,不乏战火中与能引起共情的相同缺失,但同时也是在独有细腻之处串起种种片段。后面偶尔感觉有些脱离,但让我感受到并且沉迷于他的真切之处在于,寻找与迷失之下又不乏那对这世间即使毫无回路之处的缱绻与留恋。

评分弃了的。
评分太喜欢Olive了,在二战和冷战接连不断的创伤中,她就是自由和鲜活的化身,极尽洒脱~~真正的自由,是把自己还给自己。
《战时灯火》是我阅读过的第二本迈克尔·翁达杰作品,之前那本是《英国病人》。如果说两者有一些相似之处,那么首先是背景,都是采用第二次世界大战来展开故事;其次是都包含有阶级或种族的冲突,上将与平民、移民与土著;再就是对于孤独和抑郁的刻画,类似病人与孤儿。当然,...
评分 评分开始接触这本书,是被浦东图书馆公众号送书活动的一篇文章吸引,主题是“看完这本书,可以对所有的耿耿于怀都能放下”,之后种草好久,在去年双十二拿下。今天,终于看完了,老实说,看的不是那么畅快。如果不是回头翻看了那篇公众号的文章,我已经忘记当初种草的理由了。整本...
评分“1945 年,我们的父母走了,把我们留给两个可能是罪犯的人照看。”(In 1945 our parents went away and left us in the care of two men who may have been criminals.) 这是《战时灯火》开头的第一句话。如果去掉时间 1945 年和地点伦敦,完全可以直接开始一个续写大赛,让走...
