Book Description
A chance meeting on the Fijian island of Taveuni is the trigger for a fascinating and mysterious novel that intertwines the stories of John Spooke, an English author who is grieving for his dead wife; Frank Andersen, a Norwegian evolutionary biologist estranged from his wife Vera; and an enigmatic Spanish couple, Ana and Jose, who are absorbed in their love for each other. Their stories are so strewn with mysteries and illusions that it is hard to say where one ends and the next begins, or if the accounts the characters give of themselves can be believed. Why does Ana bear such a close resemblance to the model for Goya's famous Maja paintings? What is the significance of the Joker as he steps out of his pack of cards? As the action moves from Fiji to Spain, from the present to the past, unfolding further stories within the stories, the novel reveals an astonishing richness and complexity. Maya debates and unravels the questions that give meaning to the lives of the characters – and to our own. At the same time it explores our ideas of the necessity for love. As bold and imaginative in its sweep as Sophie's World, it shows again that Jostein Gaarder's unique and special gift is to make us wonder at the awe-inspiring mystery of the universe.

评分有些人写作就是让人思考的。乔斯坦•贾德即是。但是引人思考的书一般很难吸引人。贾德的三本书,也就《纸牌的秘密》故事性强一些。《玛雅》比《苏菲的世界》故事性要强一点,但也强不到哪里去。所以,这本书并不是很迷人。 《玛雅》与其说是探讨生命存在于地球的意义,不如说...
评分晚上打完球回宿舍,看到楼下阿姨一个人在大厅,我突然很怕,怕一辈子就这样了。 最近看Jostein Gaarder的《玛雅》,对生命的产生更好奇了。 “宇宙的存在是由一百五十亿年前的大爆炸所造成的,但是一直要到四十亿年前才有生命出现,接着是六亿五千万年前像地鼠的...
评分转瞬之间的魂飞魄散 ----荐《永恒的灵性 Maya》 “我们正是没人猜测的迷。我们是困陷于自身形象中的童话。我们是那一直在前进而未曾抵达理解的东西。 ---- Jostein Gaarder...
