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.
花一个半月时间看完了《鸟鸣》。书尽管厚,读来却并不沉闷。这还要感谢作者塞巴斯蒂安·福克斯相对通俗的写法,并没有在涉及一战的部分采用宏大叙事,而是把视角转向战争中的人性,写陷于战争中的那些孤独而备受煎熬的灵魂,他们似乎微不足道的苦与乐,他们遥远的希冀与现实的...
评分好厚的一本书。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...

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。
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……
评分真的没有人被结局雷倒么……

评分我是先看完小雀斑的电视剧才又找来书看的。书比电视剧的跨度还要大,并且是以后代的回忆视角来写的。只是伊莎贝尔离开的原因,电视剧仿佛还做了一点儿美化而书中一开始是因为厌倦离开并且后来嫁去了德国,所以书里的Stephen完全是被抛弃了... ...
