In 1910 a young Englishman, Stephen Wraysford, goes to Picardy, France, to learn the textile business. While there he plunges into a love affair with the young wife of his host, a passion so imperative and consuming that it changes him forever. Several years later, with the outbreak of World War I, he finds himself again in the fields of Picardy, this time as a soldier on the Western Front. A strange, occasionally bitter man, Stephen is possessed of an inexplicable will to survive. He struggles through the hideously bloody battles of the Marne, Verdun, and the Somme (in the last named, thirty thousand British soldiers were killed in the first half hour alone), camps for weeks at a time in the verminous trenches, and hunkers in underground tunnels as he watches many of the companions he has grown to love perish. In spite of everything, Stephen manages to find hope and meaning in the blasted world he inhabits.
Sixty years after war's end, his granddaughter discovers, and keeps, Stephen's promise to a dying man. Sebastian Faulks brings the anguish of love and war to vivid life, and leaves the reader's mind pulsating with images that are graphic and unforgettable.

读后感
好厚的一本书。我首先看到的是战争中的人！战场上的杀戮！人性、内心的煎熬！其实，抗日战争中的战士们和小老百姓们是值得国人、史学家、小说家们永远关注研究的，目前，我只看到了《无家》。 小说极力所表现的是对人的爱，而不仅仅是男女的情爱。我看到了人性的光辉！这是基督...
评分翻译这本书花了十个月的时间，每个星期三个全天码字，其余时间打工养活自己。翻完之后许多怨言：http://www.douban.com/note/34616931/，为此还和几个豆友就译者能不能批评作者这回事争论了半天，我的答案是肯定的，但是这一篇不讲这个事情，只说说为什么我只给它打三颗...
评分当看完一本537页的小说后，明白了为什么塞巴斯蒂安•福克斯在寻求出版时，执意的不肯删除哪怕一个章节。每一个细节都是那么的必须，每一次细微的场景描写都那么的真实，每一句对话都在揭示人物的内心。《鸟鸣》，刚在图书馆看到时，就被书名给吸引住了，尽管简介了说的那场战...

评分看斯蒂芬的时候总让我想起来《飘》里面的艾希礼，都是英俊的外表下隐藏着一颗悲观的心。斯蒂芬跟阿赛尔和贝哈一家去郊游时，竟然会想到每个人的身体终将成为化为尘土，甚至有老鼠在里面打洞。这种联想让人震惊，这跟他的人生经历有关，但就是这份悲观和冷静也恰恰包含着某种让...

最爱的英文小说之一
评分No pre-sex description in BBC drama version... Quite Plain
评分听完的，Samuel West的版本，前几章一声声monsieur真是都酥了……所以我最近特别怨念某些事情……
评分Great imagination, very convincing. History, no matter how traumatic, should not be hidden or forgotten by later generations.
评分Audiobook read by Samuel West。太蠢了看到SW的朗读就直接买了，完全没注意是删减版……就删减版的内容我只能给两颗星，实在是太无趣了，剧情提不起一点兴趣。太心痛了六个小时打了水漂。
