Farewell Summer LP pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
In a summer that refuses to end, in the deceiving warmth of earliest October, civil war has come to Green Town, Illinois. It is the age-old conflict: the young against the elderly, for control of the clock that ticks their lives ever forward. The first cap-pistol shot heard 'round the town is dead accurate, felling an old man in his tracks, compelling town elder and school board despot Mr. Calvin C. Quartermain to marshal his graying forces and declare total war on the assassin, thirteen-year-old Douglas Spaulding, and his downy-cheeked cohorts. Doug and his cronies, however, are most worthy adversaries who should not be underestimated, as they plan and execute daring campaigns—matching old Quartermain's experience and cunning with their youthful enthusiasm and devil-may-care determination to hold on forever to childhood's summer. Yet time must ultimately be the victor, with valuable revelations for those on both sides of the conflict. And life waits in ambush to assail Doug Spaulding with its powerful mysteries—the irresistible ascent of manhood, the sweet surrender to a first kiss . . . One of the most acclaimed and beloved of American storytellers, Ray Bradbury has come home, revisiting the verdant landscape of one of his most adored works, Dandelion Wine . More than fifty years in the making, the long-awaited sequel, Farewell Summer , is a treasure—beautiful, poignant, wistful, hilarious, sad, evocative, profound, and unforgettable . . . and proof positive that the flame of wonder still burns brightly within the irrepressible imagination of the incomparable Bradbury.

在《蒲公英醇夏》之间纠结了一下,还是决定先开这本,昨天还是暖洋洋的20度今天突然降了十几度,天气预报显示凌晨还有更低温出现,跟今天的书名甚是契合。 不愿长大的我也曾想去抗争,虽然我到现在还总是自诩18岁,但是呀,曾经真的以为千禧年无比遥远,远得扒着指头也数不到,...
評分《夏日永别》是一部很轻的童话式小说,似乎适合少年在中学毕业后的夏天一读,就像很多有关青春的故事在夏日发生结尾,带有一种启示。夏天是生命力旺盛的季节,草木在恣意生长,少年也会成长。 故事非常简单,讲述的是生活在绿河谷的一票野小子向教育委员会的糟老头们发起了“战...
