Too Much Happiness (Vintage International) pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
Ten superb new stories by one of our most beloved and admired writers—the winner of the 2009 Man Booker International Prize.
In the first story a young wife and mother receives release from the unbearable pain of losing her three children from a most surprising source. In another, a young woman, in the aftermath of an unusual and humiliating seduction, reacts in a clever if less-than-admirable fashion. Other stories uncover the “deep-holes” in a marriage, the unsuspected cruelty of children, and how a boy’s disfigured face provides both the good things in his life and the bad. And in the long title story, we accompany Sophia Kovalevsky—a late-nineteenth-century Russian émigré and mathematician—on a winter journey that takes her from the Riviera, where she visits her lover, to Paris, Germany, and, Denmark, where she has a fateful meeting with a local doctor, and finally to Sweden, where she teaches at the only university in Europe willing to employ a female mathematician.
With clarity and ease, Alice Munro once again renders complex, difficult events and emotions into stories that shed light on the unpredictable ways in which men and women accommodate and often transcend what happens in their lives.
Too Much Happiness is a compelling, provocative—even daring—collection.
From the Hardcover edition.
艾丽丝•门罗(Alice Munro,1931— )
加拿大女作家,当代短篇小说大师,2013年诺贝尔文学奖得主。少女时代即开始写作,37岁时出版第一部作品。她一生专注于中短篇小说创作,讲述小地方普通人特别是女性隐含悲剧的平常生活,以细腻透彻又波澜不惊的话语,洞见人性的幽微处。
她的小说总充满了宿命论的基调,似乎是在老年已至回望人生,感叹一切都是命运的安排,但却不乏希望的光,黄色的丝带与房子,在暗黑的人生中闪出一丝救赎温暖之光。可是读来还是不免抑郁甚至绝望。

评分这本实在是令人失望,除了Dimensions和Wenlock Edge有点意思,其他都读来味同嚼蜡。非常不喜欢门罗小说中流水账式的冗长叙述,太多不必要的细节加上留白使得文本充满断裂感。小说完全变成了猜谜语般的填字游戏,却毫无美感。何况就算是那两篇读完也很不舒服,狗血剧情加上韩剧桥段的结尾,人物心理处理得很粗糙。比如说Wenlock Edge中的女主角,最终出于自尊心选择报复,但这整个故事就是不合情理的,她为何会选择去赴宴?如果是一个内心很骄傲的人就更不可能臣服于权威之下了。总而言之漏洞好多。
莎拉只是作为妻子和母亲的角色存在着,她没有她自己,除了她和儿子肯特共同关注的不为人知的小岛(达库尼亚岛——音译为不可抵达之岛)。那是专属于他们两个人的秘密,两个人独立于庸常生活的自由。 肯特离家出走多年之后,当她第一次在网上查到那个小岛,它已经成为那些花花绿...
评分 评分生命中总是会有一些无法宣之于口的疼痛,比如家庭的破裂、爱人的背叛,信念的崩塌,亲人的不辞而别,死亡,衰老,险境,多年的亏欠...它们就像发炎的伤口,缓慢,绵长,刺痛,你的灵魂像浸透了水的海绵一样沉重。 别人会安慰,会同情,会讲一些苍白无力的话,但你明白自己需要...
评分 评分听说门罗是在施瓦尔贝的《生命最后的读书会》里。作者母亲的临终章就是门罗的这本《幸福过了头》,似乎是对母亲一生辉煌事迹的一种隐喻,也是对她在家人陪伴下安详离世的最佳概括。《幸福过了头》就这样进入了我的书单。 如果说那些史诗般的鸿篇巨著和人物众多、关系错综复杂...
