On a chilly February day two old friends meet in the throng outside a crematorium to pay their last respects to Molly Lane. Both Clive Linley and Vernon Halliday had been Molly's lovers in the days before they reached their current eminence, Clive as Britain's most successful modern composer, Vernon as editor of the quality broadsheet, "The Judge". Gorgeous, feisty Molly had other lovers too, notably Julian Garmony, Foreign Secretary, a notorious right-winger tipped to be the next prime minister. In the days that follow Molly's funeral, Clive and Vernon will make a pact that will have consequences neither has foreseen. Each will make a disastrous moral decision, their friendship will be tested to its limits and Julian Garmony will be fighting for his political life. A contemporary morality tale that is as profound as it is witty, this short novel is perhaps the most purely enjoyable fiction Ian McEwan has ever written. And why Amsterdam? What happens there to Clive and Vernon is the most delicious shock in a novel brimming with surprises.
摘自《新浪博客》 作者:诗哲魂 前几日子,在电视播放一个英国人在荷兰实施了安乐死全过程的录像之后,我遇到了麦克尤恩的小说《阿姆斯特丹》,在散漫中读了起来,我理解了安乐死是怎么回事,在回味真实的阿姆斯特丹发生死亡事件,让我内心得到前所未有的震惊!其实,这...
評分1970年,普林斯顿大学的心理学教授巴特森做了一个实验。他找来47名神学院学生,交代他们从心理系出发到社会学系大楼,至于到达后的具体任务,则因人而异。在这条路上,巴特森还安排了一位“可怜人”:他头发蓬乱,双眼迷离,坐在大楼前、咳嗽并呻吟着。实验结果令人惊讶:决定...
評分下午坐在家里,光线越来越暗,迫使我不断缩短书与眼睛的间距。然后是雷声大作,倾盆大雨。不铺垫的倾盆大雨。从阳台看出去,见不到雨线。整个城市一片白。混沌的白,白茫茫的白。像一枚重音沉在湖底。 刚好陪着这混响读完麦克尤恩的小说《阿姆斯特丹》。不厚的薄薄一小册,也...
評分最近我随身的包里有两本书:一个纯白封面,一个纯黑封面。 白色的书,是沈浩波他们编的那版胡兰成的《中国文学史话》,除去牛皮纸书封后就是一个纯白的封面;黑色的书,是新星出版的伊恩•麦克尤恩的《阿姆斯特丹》,除去红色书封后是一个纯黑色封面。书籍装帧是一门学问,马...
評分不知为何都说这本不是典型的老麦风格?难道只是因为没有涉及到早期典型的极端的性欲、暴力等内容?一个作家的风格决不是因为他涉及的题材内容决定的啊,哪怕那是使老麦声名鹊起的最初。在这本小说里,清峻之极的语言、表达,还有那种利落的急转中扑来的尖利的阴暗、悚然都是多...
一個關於時機的故事:人們如何一次次與自己追求的時機擦肩而過,而總是捲入錯誤的時機釀成錯誤。很可惜,一個過於工整和刻意的結尾完全毀瞭前文蘊含的不穩定性。
评分Flawed as this novel might be in its perspective, its adequacy of ellipticality as well as its construction, especially that of the end, it is still a devastatingly lovable piece, for it has the haunting effects of the absence of the significant female character Molly, the careful delineation of the rarely-seen side and dirty facet of human nature.
评分have kind of guessed the seemingly surprising ending
评分昨天在去布魯剋林的Q綫上看睡著瞭,書掉下來砸瞭一位廣東阿姨的腳 -_-
