You have to take side, if you wish to remain human
评分Everyone thinks he’s innocent.
评分在韩江边上的咖啡馆心有旁骛地读了一个下午,时不时看看门外的江水,飞驰电掣的摩托车,要不就是看站在门边给客人开门关门的小哥,像普鲁斯特形容巴尔贝克海滩酒店门童,像是一株植物。至于书嘛,致郁系丧。
评分喜欢关于Fowler飞行的那一段,日落时分,他从天空中往下看,看到红河和沱江,他说,这时候沱江(黑河)已经不那么浑了,红河上闪着金光。
评分安静的美国人 写的是美国介入越南战争以前越南抗法战争期间的事。百度了一下,原来这场战争法国人伤亡惨重,最后和胡志明妥协的结果是越共从南方撤出,为后面美国介入留下伏笔。只要是战争尤其这种殖民地战争,通常会更惨烈,无辜的平民大量伤亡,而这一切都呈现在一个西方记者眼里。然而战争的残酷在于没有所谓的中立,要么你站在这边,要么你站在那边。标题是美国人 其实只是一个英国记者和一个美国年轻人对一个越南女孩的争夺战。印象里最深的不是这两个人和年轻女孩怎样怎样,而是两人在西贡外围汽车抛锚困在堡垒中那一夜所经历的恐惧,陪同他们的还有两个当地的伪军。
Graham Greene (October 2, 1904 Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire – April 3, 1991 Vevey, Switzerland) was a prolific English novelist, playwright, short story writer and critic whose works explore the ambiguities of modern man in a contemporary setting. Some of his best works, like Brighton Rock and The Power and the Glory, are explicitly Roman Catholic in content and preoccupations. Others he termed "entertainments", although many of them likewise deal with ambivalent moral or political issues which had earned him a worldwide readership and following.

Starring Michael Caine and Brendan Fraser, The Quiet American is already gaining incredible buzz -- including a Golden Globe nomination for Caine (Best Actor, Drama). This enchanting film is directed by Phillip Noyce (Rabbit-Proof Fence; The Bone Collector; Clear and Present Danger) and is adapted from one of Graham Greene’s best-loved novels. Into the intrigue and violence of Indo-China comes Pyle, a young idealistic American sent to promote democracy through a mysterious “Third Force.” As his naïve optimism starts to cause bloodshed, his friend Fowler, a cynical foreign correspondent, finds it hard to stand aside and watch. But even as he intervenes he wonders why: for the sake of politics, or for love.
有人(比如哈罗德.布鲁姆,他也因此认为格雷厄姆.格林最好的小说是《布莱顿硬糖》)说,格林的《权力与荣耀》、《问题的核心》不具有说服力,因为格林总是在小说的结尾让一个牧师出场,告诉我们上帝到底怎么想我们凡夫俗子是无法猜测的,因而为那些堕落的人物(威士忌神父、斯...
评分我们都不想再被提醒自己的生命是多么不值钱,而死亡来得又是多么迅速,多么简单,多么悄声无息。 —— 摘自《安静的美国人》 《安静的美国人》写于1955年,本书是格雷厄姆·格林最受欢迎、最后公认和争议的代表作。 作者格雷厄姆·格林,英国作家、编剧、文学评论家。1932年,...
评分 评分 评分格雷厄姆.格林,陪跑诺贝尔奖21次,比大家熟知的村上春树次数要久,比一直希望得到奥斯卡的迪卡普里奥时间要长,但这丝毫不影响他在世界文坛的地位。 在谈到为什么格林总是获不了奖的原因时,诺奖评委阿图尔•朗科维斯说: 三十年前,他曾经给我留下了深刻的印象。但是格林太...
