An atmospheric, gritty, and compelling novel of star-crossed lovers, set in the circus world circa 1932, by the bestselling author of Riding Lessons .
When Jacob Jankowski, recently orphaned and suddenly adrift, jumps onto a passing train, he enters a world of freaks, drifters, and misfits, a second-rate circus struggling to survive during the Great Depression, making one-night stands in town after endless town. A veterinary student who almost earned his degree, Jacob is put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It is there that he meets Marlena, the beautiful young star of the equestrian act, who is married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. He also meets Rosie, an elephant who seems untrainable until he discovers a way to reach her.
Beautifully written, Water for Elephants is illuminated by a wonderful sense of time and place. It tells a story of a love between two people that overcomes incredible odds in a world in which even love is a luxury that few can afford.
莎拉·格魯恩(Sara Gruen),對動物有著莫名的狂熱,先前齣版過兩本與馬有關的書,都廣受歡迎。書中很多的角色都是根據真實人物為藍本,故事背景則是根據1930年代的巡迴馬戲團。她現與丈夫、三名子女、四隻貓、兩頭羊、兩條狗、一匹馬同住在芝加哥北部的環保小區。

評分一定要看到結尾,就算猜到瞭會發生但是請一定要看完。

在咣当咣当的火车上,我翻开了《大象的眼泪》——如此切题,这正是发生在火车马戏团上的故事。“我九十岁,或者九十三岁,不是九十就是九十三。”故事从第六页开始变得有趣。伴随着摇晃而漫长的旅程,慢慢读下去。 从某种意义上说,每个人的重要选择只有一次,余下岁月...
評分嗯,所谓生活中,会有一些细小的,经历,让某一天变得与众不同,这是文字或者说故事,在我们不能亲自经历生活时所额外赐予的神奇力量。是的,没有想到,这本拖了整整一个月的书,在包里,在车上,在飞机上,在酒店里,在公司的桌上,在枕边,每一个位置都呆过,都告诉自己,要...
評分因为关注度太高,所以昧着良心给了个四星,结果发现原来不止我一个人觉得一般,所以直接降了一星。书的最后说作者是参考了很多真实的资料,堆砌成的这本书,可能是因为这种马戏团离我们的真实生活太远吧,我还是感觉不真实。 让我感觉平凡的最主要原因是因为书虽然很厚,...
