Abe Ravelstein is a brilliant professor at a prominent midwestern university and a man who glories in training the movers and shakers of the political world. He has lived grandly and ferociously-and much beyond his means. his close friend Chick has suggested that he put forth a book of his convictions about the ideas which sustain humankind, or kill it, and much to Ravelstein's own surprise, he does and becomes a millionaire. Ravelstein suggests in turn that Chick write a memoir or a life of him, and during the course of a celebratory trip to Paris the two share thoughts on mortality, philosophy and history, loves and friends, old and new, and vaudeville routines from the remote past. The mood turns more somber once they have returned to the Midwest and Ravelstein succumbs to AIDS and Chick himself nearly dies. Deeply insightful and always moving, Saul Bellow's new novel is a journey through love and memory. It is brave, dark, and bleakly funny: an elegy to friendship and to lives well (or badly) lived.
几乎是没有情节和故事推进的小说,以前在看索尔·贝娄的《洪堡的礼物》的时候有点这个意思,在一堆故事基本骨架里面有一长段一长段很多的对于事物的看法、分析很有深度,所以我在读《洪堡的礼物》的时候在抄了好多段落做笔记。但是这本《拉维尔斯坦》首先页数就要比《洪堡的礼...
评分“实在很难想象像拉维尔斯坦这样的人已经与世长辞了。” 索尔贝娄发出的感叹。“因为在一片鸟儿的聒噪声中,听不见他的话。”现代的民主社会恰如这聒噪的丛林,那些卑下的鸟儿却在不停地发出噪音,将高贵灵魂的声音都淹没了。拉维尔斯坦不再了,而聒噪的鸟儿们却仍在继续。 “...
评分/黄湘 十年前,在北京一家民营书店,我买下了一本深蓝色封面的《走向封闭的美国精神》,从此记住了艾伦·布鲁姆这个名字。后来我又陆续阅读了他的Shakespeare's Politics(《莎士比亚的政治》)和Love and Friendship(《爱与友谊》),深为这两部作品的广博与细腻而折服。但直...
评分我对书名不敏感,几乎以为是列维根斯坦。而我又对哲学知之甚少,所以书放在家里很长时间了,也没有去看。直到几天前,我看见了作者的名字:贝娄。这是个熟悉的名字,记忆外国人的名字很难,除非你在键盘上敲过。 这事发生在1993年,邱小刚(网名:三七)在论坛贴了一篇美国《...
评分翻口毛边,书品近全新,比较可喜。 零四年读的中文译本,就想找原著看看,总算遂愿了。在BELLOW的作品里,这本大概只好算B+——A-的水准。
Now in retrospect, this book seems to the beginning of my recently-ended obsession.
评分结尾有点小失望 "every personal discussion turned finally into good, clean, nihilistic fun." She had been one of Ravelstein's learned groupies. She was good at Greek. To study with R you had to read your Xenophon, Thucydides, and Plato in Greek.
