For decades, generations of readers have shared their favorite passages of favorite Louis L'Amour novels and short stories: parents with their children, neighbors with their friends, executives with their staff and clergy with their congregations. They pass around dog-eared copies of the books, underlined and yellowing, recalling words that echoes in their readers' hearts and minds long after the last page was turned. Now, many of these selections have been collected in a remarkable volume representing some of the richest ore of the L'Amour lode: voices that heralded the settling of the frontier, of the man and women whose spirit and soul shaped our nation. In these words, Louis L'Amour describes the American experience, bringing our heritage to life, in ways no other author has.
No L'Amour reader has a more unique perspective on his work than Angelique, his only daughter. In an extraordinary feat for every Louis L'Amour fan, and in loving appreciation of her father, she has compiled A Trail of Memories: The Quotations of Louis L'Amour , drawn from her father's best-loved works of fiction, including the Sackett novels, Last of the Breed, The Walking Drum and nearly two dozen others.
"By reading his words, each reader has met a part of my father," she writes in her introduction. "Each hero has a bit of Dad's experience that makes him who he is. With Lanso, it is all those boxing matches as Dad grew up. With Barnabas Sackett, it is the sailor and explorer in my father...I think that this collection of quotations from my father's books reveals much of what makes Dad who he is, for these words are the heart and soul of what he believes, and what he wants to leave behind."
Angelique has selected nearly a thousand of her favorite, most powerful and poignant L'Amour quotations--arranged by category and annotated with the book in which it appears--on more than a score of universal subjects such as: Love, Friendship and Loyalty; Family and Home; Honor, the Law and Justice; the Frontier; Women; and Men and Bravery. One such example from Sackett's Land: "He never knew when he was whipped--so he never was."
A wonderful gift from a daughter to her father--and from Angelique L'Amour to her father's readers-- A Trail of Memories: The Quotations of Louis L'Amour will be a cherished keepsake of words to enjoy, and words to live by.

我必须承认,初读这本书时,我差点因为它的叙事节奏而放弃。它实在是太“慢”了,慢到让人觉得时间仿佛凝固在了某个特定的瞬间。然而,一旦你适应了这种节奏,并允许自己沉浸其中,你会发现这慢节奏恰恰是作者精心设计的陷阱。它让你卸下外界的喧嚣和急躁,强迫你去关注那些平时被我们忽略的日常细节——阳光穿过百叶窗在木地板上投下的光束、雨滴打在窗玻璃上汇集成线的轨迹,甚至是一杯茶慢慢冷却的过程。这些看似微不足道的片段,在作者的笔下被赋予了非凡的意义,它们成为了记忆链条上不可或缺的节点。这本书的结构也很有趣,它不是线性的,更像是一个由无数个记忆闪回构成的网状结构,你得自己去梳理和连接那些看似无关的事件,才能拼凑出全貌。这种需要读者主动参与解构和重组的阅读体验,对于习惯了被喂养故事的当代读者来说,无疑是一种挑战,但也因此带来了极大的智力上的满足感。
评分坦白说,这本书的文学性非常强,它的句法结构和词汇选择都带着一种古典的、打磨过的质感,读起来有一种啃食坚果的乐趣,需要细细咀嚼才能品出其中蕴含的醇厚味道。我特别欣赏作者在构建对话时的那种“留白”艺术。很多时候,人物之间的交流并非通过直白的表达来推动情节,而是通过潜台词、停顿和眼神的交汇来完成。这要求读者必须全神贯注,去解读那些未被说出口的部分,这无疑提高了阅读的门槛,但也极大地增强了阅读的沉浸感和代入感。这本书挑战了传统的叙事规范,它更像是意识流和精准观察的完美结合体。对于那些追求文字美感和深度内涵的读者来说,这本书无疑是一份珍贵的礼物,它让你重新审视语言的力量,意识到最强大的情感往往是通过最节制的表达来实现的。
评分读完合上书本的那一刻,我感到一种奇特的平静,仿佛经历了一次彻底的精神清洗。这本书并没有提供一个明确的“答案”或“结论”,它只是将一团错综复杂的记忆线团抛在了你的面前,然后让你自己去理清,去判断哪些是真实的,哪些是基于希望的虚构。它没有试图美化过去,而是忠实地记录了记忆本身的不确定性、矛盾性和选择性。书中关于家庭关系的刻画尤为真实,那种爱与束缚并存的复杂情感,那种代际之间难以言明的隔阂与连接,都描绘得入木三分。它让我思考,我们所谓的“回忆”,究竟有多大程度上是我们为了让自己更好地活下去而重新编辑过的版本。这本书不迎合任何人,它只是安静地存在着,像一面古老的镜子,映照出每个读者自己心中那条或清晰或模糊的记忆之路。
评分这本书的魅力,很大程度上源于它对“缺席”的精彩描绘。它不是讲述那些轰轰烈烈的相聚,而是更专注于那些人离开后留下的空间、未完成的对话、以及那些永远无法弥补的遗憾。我感受最深的是,作者如何通过描绘“物”来侧面烘托“人”。比如,一把空置的椅子,一件不再被穿的外套,甚至是一个摆设的位置没有改变,都在无声地诉说着曾经在此居住或生活过的人的痕迹。这种“空”的力量,比任何直接的描写都来得震撼人心。它探讨了时间如何磨损我们的存在感,以及我们在他人生命中留下的印记究竟有多深或多浅。我倾向于认为,这是一本关于“失去”的哲学思考,但它极其克制,没有一滴廉价的眼泪,有的只是对生命中必然发生的消逝的坦然接受,以及在接受中寻找新的平衡的勇气。
评分这本《A Trail of Memories》读完后,心里久久不能平静。它并非那种情节跌宕起伏、充满戏剧性冲突的小说,更像是一趟漫长而细致的内心旅程。作者的笔触极其细腻,仿佛拿着一支极其精密的画笔,描绘着那些被时间冲刷得模糊不清的往事。我尤其欣赏其中对环境和氛围的刻画,那种淡淡的怀旧感,不是刻意渲染的伤感,而是一种自然流淌出来的对逝去时光的温柔致敬。书中对人物心理活动的捕捉精准得令人惊讶,那些细微的情绪波动,那些欲言又止的瞬间,都被作者毫不留情地剖析开来,让我们得以窥见人性深处的复杂与脆弱。阅读的过程,我时常感觉自己不仅仅是在看一个故事,更像是在翻阅一本泛黄的旧相册,每一页都对应着一段难以言喻的感受。虽然故事主线似乎并不紧凑,但正是这种松弛感,使得那些散落在记忆碎片中的光影得以充分呼吸和展现。全书的语言风格是沉静而富有诗意的,没有华丽的辞藻堆砌,却自有其韵味,读起来像是在聆听一场低语的独白,让人不得不放慢速度,去细细品味每一个词语背后承载的重量。
