"They've gone now, and I'm alone at last. I have the whole night ahead of me, and I won't waste a single moment of it . . . I want tonight to be long, as long as my life . . ." For young Private Peaceful, looking back over his childhood while he is on night watch in the battlefields of the First World War, his memories are full of family life deep in the countryside: his mother, Charlie, Big Joe, and Molly -- the love of his life. Too young to be enlisted, Thomas has followed his brother to war and now, every moment he spends thinking about his life, means another moment closer to danger.
Private Peaceful is a novel written by Michael Morpurgo, and a play by by Simon Reade, based on the book. It is about a soldier called Thomas, or Tommo, Peaceful, who is looking back on his life from the trenches of World War I. Structurally, each chapter of the book brings the reader closer to the present. The story especially underlines the senselessness of war and ineptitude of the commanding officers.
The play by Simon Reade was first performed at the Bristol Old Vic in April 2004, and starred Alexander Campbell. Later the production enjoyed sell-out transfers to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and London’s West End, and then toured the United Kingdom.

我也希望自己能像大个儿乔一样,相信我们死去的亲人都去了天堂,而天堂就在教堂钟塔的最顶端,手往天空一指就能看见的地方。 这个温暖始终的故事读到最后,竟忍不住要以一滴眼泪作为收场,但它自始至终仍旧是温暖的,因为作者在结语里告诉我们,这是一个虚构的故事。 于是我...
评分《柑橘与柠檬啊》是莫波洛的小说,《柑橘与柠檬》是一首英国童谣—— 柑橘与柠檬啊,圣克雷蒙的钟声说。 你欠我五法辛,圣玛汀的钟声说。 你何时还我钱?老培瑞的钟声说。 当我变有钱,雪诺地的钟声说。 那会是何时?史代尼的钟声说。 这我还不知,葆儿的老钟这么说。 蜡烛来...
评分Oranges and lemons, Say the bells of St. Clement's. You owe me five farthings, Say the bells of St. Martin's. When will you pay me? Say the bells of Old Bailey. When I grow rich, Say the bells of Shoreditch. When will that be? Say the bells of Stepney. ...
评分我小时候一直梦想有这么一本书,它讲的是孩子的故事,却能让我窥见成长后的世界,读过它便能一夜长大。可惜我还没有遇到它就已经积攒了太多的时光。 后来我又梦想写这么一本书,用孩子的目光审视这个太过糟糕的世界,给他们埋下希望的种子。结果我撕掉了好多拙劣的开头:给孩子...
平淡中的幸福和悲伤并存
评分很温暖很治愈!喜欢Charlie啊。 读完整本书后:Charlie就一愣头青
评分听完的一本书(或者说是广播剧),Robson Green的版本。很短,但听的我沉醉了。
评分60'
评分中文版是《柑橘与柠檬啊》,买回来但是还没看,先把英文版的听完了。很喜欢这种淡淡的故事描写,但是透露出来的却是这个世界的现实,那种落差感实在很虐人。个人觉得广播剧比audio book听起来好玩多了。
