Cider with Rosie (Nonpareil Book) pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
One of eight children, Laurie Lee was born in 1914, in Slad, Gloucestershire, then a remote corner of England. As his father was absent , the large family--five children from his father's first marriage and three from his second one was brought up by his capable mother. "We lived where he had left us; a relic of his provincial youth; a sprawling cumbersome, countrified brood too incongruous to carry with him; and I, for one, scarcely missed him. I was perfectly content in this world of women . . . bullied and tumbled through the hand-to-mouth days, patched or dressed-up, scolded, admired, swept off my feet in sudden passions of kisses, or dumped forgotten among the unwashed pots."
Lee's memoir opens when he was just a baby younger than three years old and ends as he becomes a young man experiencing his first kiss. "I turned to look at Rosie. She was yellow and dusty with buttercups and seemed to be purring in the gloom; her hair was rich as a wild bee's nest and her eyes were full of stings. I did not know what to do about her, nor did I know what not to do. She looked smooth and precious, a thing of unplumbable mysteries, and perilous as quicksand."
This beloved classic describes a lost world, a world reflecting the innocence and wonder of childhood, and illuminating an era without electricity or telephones. This is England on the cusp of the modern era, but it could have been anywhere. This may explain why Cider with Rosie became an instant bestseller when it was published in 1959, selling over six million copies in the UK alone, and continues to be read by children and adults all over the world.

“我属于偶然看到延续千年的那种生活走向终结的那一代人。” 《罗西与苹果酒》有两个可贵之处,一个是它所讲述的内容,另外一个是它的表达手法。作者洛瑞.李(1914 - 1997) 于1959年写下了自己在英国的一个农村度过的童年时光的一段回忆,这让我们重新记起过去没多久的往事,了...
评分近来号称畅销百万本以上的书有不少,比如《谁动了我的奶酪》,比如《给加西亚的信》,不过我始终没有翻阅的兴趣。金钱我爱,但是往大了说,中国这么多人,个个都想着发财,这条路上未免太挤了些,我就不凑这个热闹了。忠诚我也有,只是这个“忠诚”,是对自己忠诚,像尼采...
评分每个人都有童年的回忆,每个人对童年的回忆也都是不一样的,点点滴滴,或是碎片儿。成年以后,不经意间, 午后和深夜,忽然闪现在我的脑海里。能记住的往往是玩耍的瞬间,抓鱼,粘知了,爬树,撒欢在墙上跑闹。 世界之大,人们对儿时的回忆总是很相似。这是我第一次读洛瑞.李的...
