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.
我還是最愛Part1。讀到中間段落其實內心裏已經有些明瞭瞭,翁達傑在Part1裏描述的十分動人,迷惘之下缺失且一直在尋找著的,不乏戰火中與能引起共情的相同缺失,但同時也是在獨有細膩之處串起種種片段。後麵偶爾感覺有些脫離,但讓我感受到並且沉迷於他的真切之處在於,尋找與迷失之下又不乏那對這世間即使毫無迴路之處的繾綣與留戀。
評分書籍獨有的敘事魅力,真棒
評分4 把二戰這個爛大街的題材玩齣新花樣不是易事,把視角放在追尋真相的少年身上,真正的主角是戰後處於迷霧夜色裡的英國。離Ondaatje最好的水平有一段距離,但還是足夠精彩細膩。Rose延續他筆下女主背負著神秘過去的歷史,在天空翱翔自由的Olive有點像Anil,反而男主角最後那個驚天秘密頗為狗血。
評分又被捧得那麼高?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。
評分有誰真正瞭解自己的媽媽
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...
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...
評分一本充满了反转的好书,正如它的名字。与我最初预期的不同,Warlight,本来看到“灯火”二字的反应应是明亮而温暖的,而所谓战时灯火的意思,是因为在战时为了防止空袭而实施的宵禁,关掉所有的灯只留下必要的,在昏暗的灯光照料下的黑漆漆的泰晤士河水。 所以,战时灯火的意义...
