The 13 Clocks pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Once upon a time, in a gloomy castle on a lonely hill, where there were thirteen clocks that wouldn’t go, there lived a cold, aggressive Duke, and his niece, the Princess Saralinda. She was warm in every wind and weather, but he was always cold. His hands were as cold as his smile, and almost as cold as his heart. He wore gloves when he was asleep, and he wore gloves when he was awake, which made it difficult for him to pick up pins or coins or the kernels of nuts, or to tear the wings from nightingales.
So begins James Thurber’s sublimely revamped fairy tale, The 13 Clocks , in which a wicked Duke who imagines he has killed time, and the Duke’s beautiful niece, for whom time seems to have run out, both meet their match, courtesy of an enterprising and very handsome prince in disguise. Readers young and old will take pleasure in this tale of love forestalled but ultimately fulfilled, admiring its upstanding hero (”He yearned to find in a far land the princess of his dreams, singing as he went, and possibly slaying a dragon here and there”) and unapologetic villain (”We all have flaws,” the Duke said. “Mine is being wicked”), while wondering at the enigmatic Golux, the mysterious stranger whose unpredictable interventions speed the story to its necessarily happy end.

评分文字游戏满分,就是有点太黑暗……
评分英文版妙不可言
文夏丽柠 “从前,在一座荒凉的小山上矗立着一座阴森的城堡,城堡里有十三只停摆的钟。冷酷而好斗的公爵与侄女萨拉琳达公主便住在这里……旅人与水手仰望城堡时会说,那儿的时间停走了,总是那时,绝不会是此刻。”尘世间的人总想与时间较量,但从未取胜。然而,《纽约客》专...
评分詹姆斯•瑟伯的童话充满着瑰丽的幻想和斑斓的色彩,无论是王子的挑战、公主的争夺、还是困难重重的冒险,常规的童话元素几乎一应俱全,而融合这一切的关键则是无处不在的神奇魔法。 美国作家托尔金在《童话文学观》中曾经提到,童话故事属于幻想创造的“第二世界”。它除了...
评分从译跋《小镇里的萨拉琳达》、到《公主与锡盒》、《白鹿》、《13只钟》,再到译序的顺序倒着读,我以为就算不是更引人入胜,至少也别有一番风味。 喜欢一开头在智性上较为轻松,并且不久就想眼前一亮的,推荐倒着读。从接受度来讲,《13只钟》是比较陌生化的一类童话,需要一...
评分用真诚的爱,英俊王子拯救了被施了魔法的公主,从此幸福地生活在一起。这样的桥段您是不是觉得很熟悉?我们看多了这样的童话,以至于不相信生活中会有奇迹。 瑟伯的《十三只钟》里共有三个童话故事,三个故事中都有一个公主,不同的是,前两位公主被施了魔法,都不知道自己是谁...
评分这种口袋书的精简设计真的让我很喜欢,读起来就轻松又舒服。想分享自己读完的三两点感受: 1⃣️虽然看到开头这个特别的王子的????出现就几乎能猜到结局,“王子和公主打怪升级,幸福生活”但是还是很想探索王子如何破了冰冷公爵的设局。 2⃣️读到最后,最有意思的是...
