Magic realism, at its best, should appear extrtaordinary, yet somehow believable. Allende's portrayal of the interesting lives of certain members of her family, is so convincing, that their connection with the other world is almost treated like a debilitating defect, a characterisitic that the family accept, yet at the same time is a little ashamed of. The playing down of such traits (if true, and of this I am still unsure) makes the logically impossible appear real. The story centre's on the lives of three generations of Truebas. At it's heart the book attempts to show, that peoples paths are predetermined and any desire to change what is preordained is both futile and destructive. Trueba is a man against the world. He is a self made man, who believes in order. The book insinuates that being a self made man, he is more concerned about others' perception of his family, than of his family's wellbeing, however, one gets the distinct impression throughout that Trueba believes that what he is doing is right. Battles are fought on every front, and ultimately, he fails in all of these, bar the financial struggle, the vanquishing of which he achieves in his youth. The life of the family is set against the political developments in the unnamed country, which we all assume to be Chile and in particular two different takes on the onset of socialism. Trueba, beleives that his form of conservative pragmatism is to be maintained, whilst almost all members of his family become aware of the social injustice that is preserved through the maintenance of the status quo. This conflict is only reconciled at the end of the book. It is an enlightening and ultimately comforting read, that convincingly illuminates the destructive force that radical ideology can have on a family.

在“穿裙子的马尔克斯”的伊莎贝尔·阿连德所写的“幽灵之家”开篇就提到了一位俏姑娘罗莎。所有的年轻男人都迷恋她,但几乎没有人敢于追求她,“罗莎的姣容把人吓住了,大家只能从远处投来爱慕的眼光,而不敢凑上前来”,更别说向她示爱了,埃斯特万没有费什么九牛二虎之力,...
评分出差去南京,又和译林的朋友见面。在她的同事桌上看到了《幽灵之家》,便后起脸皮要求赠送。我对它的好奇是由于封面上waist belt上几个marketing味道很浓的字:穿裙子的马尔克斯.加西亚。朋友倒也好说话,说这是新出的,在市场上很受欢迎呢。 赖到手之后很高兴,盘算着用什么...
评分朋友非常迷恋《百年孤独》,我告诉他,有个叫阿连德的智利女作家,人称“穿裙子的马尔克斯”。我推荐他看《幽灵之家》,忙不迭地爆料,作者的伯父是智利的前总统萨尔瓦多•阿连德。朋友很茫然,我不久前刚从百度上学来的知识顿时有了用武之地,一起抖落给他:萨尔瓦多•阿...
评分一直对读外国文学有障碍,有时候冗长的语言描述和我不了解的历史背景,以及频频出现的宗教、政治等,都让我读不下去。而且,外国长长的人名让我总是记不清楚谁是谁。因此,在“世界名著”泛滥的中学时代里,我做了很多次努力,却总是读不下去。而屈指可数读过的几本书里——除...
评分南美洲。 关于南美洲我知道的不多,在历史及地理课本中这个大洲总是被一笔带过,我所知道的只是这里是印加、玛雅文化的发源地;20世纪的时候跟随着世界风潮这里也在闹共产主义革命,并且出了一位响誉世界的革命家——切·格瓦拉;这里的人皮肤黝黑、脸部轮廓明显、体...
