On a windy spring day in the Chilterns, the calm, organized life of science writer Joe Rose is shattered when he witnesses a tragic accident: a hot-air balloon with a boy trapped in its basket is being tossed by the wind, and in the attempt to save the child, a man is killed. A stranger named Jed Parry joins Rose in helping to bring the balloon to safety. But unknown to Rose, something passes between Parry and himself on that day--something that gives birth to an obsession in Parry so powerful that it will test the limits of Rose's beloved rationalism, threaten the love of his wife, Clarissa, and drive him to the brink of murder and madness. Brilliant and compassionate, this is a novel of love, faith, and suspense, and of how life can change in an instant.
被译为爱无可忍,一度相信这个故事是借着爱的名义拷问与挖掘人性。毕竟,最初的爱情最后的仪式带来的阅读感太过惊艳,给人历久弥新的刺激。因此开始对这个小长篇期望甚高。 热气球下洛根坠落事故的开篇也算典型的尹式风格,经历者的振荡和旁观者的疏离兼而有之,第一和全知视角...

沒有細讀,但是覺得McEwan的書裏都有一種agony,Atonement裏麵是Briony的innocence/guity,這種衝突甚至讓我沒法讀完那本書。這本書裏麵是Joe的(ir)rationality. 這種衝突在書裏貫穿的很好,從profession到relationship,到主人公的各種行為。作為學院派,作者的幾個主題,理性,科學,真相,視角之類的,都看得齣受到西方主流學院思想影響(don't know if i'm doing justice to the author, though..).從某種角度講,寫理論和寫小說其實是可以殊途同歸的一件事。個人很喜歡這本書的情節主題以及明顯的學院派影響,四星是因為Atonement是五星。這本書沒有Atonment殘忍,也不如它震撼。
评分To be in love is to be in love with the falsified & exalted image of yourself. To stay in love is for the other to shatter that mirage.
评分Ian McEwan is such a fantastic storyteller, with such a "fluid" way of writing. <cement garden> is sth cult and dark, Ian is daring enough to disclose all those fine details of a long-lasting nightmare. But in <enduring love>, readers may have many ways of interpretation. Story going like a heavy fluid, and I was fascinated by how Ian delivered the story in a semi-detached tone--a full range 3-D view--in a time scale of days. "seeing is NOT believing" is what I've been resonated to most. This kind of "philosophy" is what's been long rooted in oriental culture, or at least sth I suspect about buddhism (though it may takes a while for me to source for the quote). Everybody is living in their own world of perception, and solitude is inevitable. I was completely shocked by the letter Clarissa wrote to Joe: being logic and being right is in fact ruining their love. The ending is a big punch, and seemingly warmified the entire story. Anyway we are living in a world that is not so bad, separately or collectively, shedding a light of human nature at everybody's face.... And McEwan is such a knowledgeable person and I was superised by his immense collection of knowledge. If he'd not been a writer, he'd be a great researcher in either science or art...
评分圖書館能藉到的麥剋尤恩貌似都讀過瞭。。。還是短篇有愛!
评分Love is about sharing instead of enduring.
