J.K. Rowling is the author of the bestselling Harry Potter series of seven books, published between 1997 and 2007, which have sold more than 450 million copies worldwide, are distributed in more than 200 territories, translated into 74 languages, and have been turned into eight blockbuster films. She has also written two small volumes, which appear as the titles of Harry’s schoolbooks within the novels. Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through The Ages were published by Scholastic Bloomsbury Children’s Books in March 2001 in aid of Comic Relief. In December 2008, The Tales of Beedle the Bard was published in aid of the Children’s High Level Group, and quickly became the fastest selling book of the year.
As well as an OBE for services to children’s literature, J.K. Rowling is the recipient of numerous awards and honorary degrees including the Prince of Asturias Award for Concord, France’s Légion d’honneur, and the Hans Christian Andersen Literature Award, and she has been a Commencement Speaker at Harvard University. She supports a wide number of charitable causes through her charitable trust Volant, and is the founder of Lumos, a charity working to transform the lives of disadvantaged children.
When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…. Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town’s council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations? Blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults.
昨天中午,一个星期的阅读历程终于结束的时候,耳机里传来蕾哈娜的‘umbrella’,醇厚的女声有力的打着节拍,“When the sun shines, we’ll shine together.Told you I'll be here forever,Said I'll always be a friend,Took an oath I''ll stick it out till the end.”看着...
评分这是一本怎样的书呢? 我说:他是一本,当你拿起来后就不愿意停下;但短暂放下后却需要更大的勇气继续阅读。 它被迫让我看到是,我最不想看到的一面。 这本罗琳的书,在豆瓣上推荐了好久,一直未下决心去看,一方面是我觉得《哈利波特》系列给我的印象太深了,我不想去改变我...
评分盼到了J.K.罗琳的新书,却不是《哈利·波特》的续集,而是一个全新的故事供成年人阅读。故事发生在英国西南部一个名叫帕格的小镇上,刚过不惑之年的巴里•菲尔布拉泽先生突然病逝。原本生老病死、悲欢离别是再正常不过的事罢了,但平日里安宁和睦的帕格镇便从此开始了...
评分冷漠•忽视•伤害•报复 文:蓝文青 这是一组可以切分的镜头: 第一个:在一个阳光灿烂的日子里,正午时分,一个三岁左右没有人陪伴的孤单幼儿独自沿着河岸走,“脸上沾满了巧克力,邋里邋遢的”,途径他身边的加文“心里只想着自己碎成渣的幸福”,一丁点也没想为何这...
评分这是作者继哈利。波特系列之后的第一部作品,个人认为这本书已经从儿童文学开始上升到文学的范畴了,作者在这本书里加入了自己对于人生的感慨,于是威登一家成为了全书的主线,我仿佛看到了作者在对自己未成名之前的生活的一种感慨和唏嘘(作者以前也是个贫穷的单亲妈妈)。 这...
这本书最突出的优点可能是适合中学生背单词,基本上超出A-level程度的词都会附加解释性的比喻或者同义词…罗琳的写作思维完全是电影的,场景、对话和视角都有强烈的剧本感。作为通俗小说不坏,说不定是文学史上的第二个《Hard Times》。完全剧情概括:http://book.douban.com/review/5620220/
评分WTF...写得是啥玩意儿裹脚布吗?虽然后半部分好看了一点但还是阻止不了裹脚布的沁人气息在空气中弥漫
评分其实罗林的社会化文学能力真不行,从hp第三部开始加入的社会化元素就能看得出,远远没有单纯的儿童文学驾驭得好。这本书也一样,跟凤凰社类似。浪费我£7,早知道就下载看了,还pre-order个屁
评分小说,一如既往地看不下去,兼不知所云
