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.
说实话,我对翁达杰的《英国病人》并没有太大好感,所以也没有抱着高期待来读这本书。但事实是,读着读着便陷入了“耿耿于怀”的境地,于是怨念起书封的标语,简直是虚假营销。翁达杰的笔触相当的温柔,因此尽管随着故事的展开,心中的郁结隐隐加深,但心碎的感觉总会被微弱的...
評分文 / 芮娜 本书是《英国病人》作者迈克尔·翁达杰的新作《战时灯火》,在书的腰封上,我们可以看到它的宣传语是“诺贝尔奖得主石黑一雄熟读到可以背出来的书”。其实石黑一雄对翁达杰及其作品的喜爱几乎人尽皆知。据说,石黑一雄熟读《战时灯火》到可以随口说出书中细节的程度...

評分很多年前,当我懵懂撞进文学的世界时,以文学青年的姿态,囫囵吞枣地看了很多电影,读了很多书。当时有一部得奖的电影叫《英国病人》,我对着粗粝的DVD画面,看着沙漠中那个被白色长布裹着的异域女子,突然觉得有些东西似乎懂了,似乎又没懂。 后来,我买到了原著小说,读完之...
評分可能是我对作者名气寄予厚望了,所以读后有一点小失望。不过如果你喜欢岛上书店这类小说,应该也会喜欢这本。综合评分3.5星。 (有一定剧透) 本文结构★★★★ 这部小说的出彩之处,正是在于结构的巧妙设计。全书分为两部,第一部小说背景设立在1945年的英国,正是二战后期,...
有誰真正瞭解自己的媽媽
评分讀翁達傑的文字需要耐心和智慧,看透碎片式敘述之後藏著的那些聯係,如同最後發現的Agnes縫好掛在牆上的毯子,full of codes and unspoken agonies. 雖然跟英國病人的宏大比,這本關於冷戰的諜戰小說有些重復,但有那麼幾句話,讓人心頭一緊。 We change, we evolve. We are what we are for all our sufferings and mistakes in the past. 結尾那段宛若對這本小說囈語般敘述方式的反映:We order our lives with barely held stories. As if we have been lost in a confusing landscape.
评分有誰真正瞭解自己的媽媽
评分男孩子成長故事,通過英國的諜戰聯係起來,從孩子的視角看人和事,從情報人員的視角進行迴顧,往事如流水,波光粼粼不過是匆匆的一瞥,洶湧的感情纔是原諒
评分又被捧得那麼高?衝著作者的名氣,逼著自己看完1/3,實在寫的一般。形散不要緊,神也散。想要說明什麼呢?通過Nathan的眼睛在觀察齣現在他身邊的一些人物,so what?一點也沒意思。如果要這樣看完80%,再憋個大招的話,實在憋不住。棄瞭。
