庫切(J. M. Coetzee, 1940―):南非當代著名小說傢,自1974年起,先後齣版瞭《幽暗之鄉》(Dusklands, 1974)、《國之中心》(In the Heart of the Country: A Novel, 1977)、《等待野蠻人》(Waiting for the Barbarians, 1980)、《邁剋爾・K.的生平與時代》(Life and Times of Michael K., 1983;獲1983年布剋奬)、《敵人》(Foe, 1986)、《鐵的時代》(Age of Iron, 1990),以及《彼得堡的主人》(The Master of Petersburg, 1994)等多部小說,被評論界認為是當代南非最重要的作傢之一。
A divorced, middle-aged English professor finds himself increasingly unable to resist affairs with his female students. When discovered by the college authorities, he is expected to apologise and repent in an effort to save his job, but he refuses to become a scapegoat in what he see as as a show trial designed to reinforce a stringent political correctness. He preempts the authorities and leaves his job, and the city, to spend time with his grown-up lesbian daughter on her remote farm. Things between them are strained - there is much from the past they need to reconcile - and the situation becomes critical when they are the victims of a brutal and horrifying attack. In spectacularly powerful and lucid prose, Coetzee uses all his formidable skills to engage with a post-apartheid culture in unexpected and revealing ways. This examination into the sexual and poliitcal lawlines of modern South Africa as it tries desperately to start a fresh page in its history is chilling, uncompromising and unforgettable.
叙述了南非首都开普敦的一个白人文学教授因为桃色丑闻而离开学校,到了乡村同他的女儿一起生活的故事。整个小说反映了作为一个受西方教育,拥有全套西方价值观容辱观的知识分子,在当时的南非,那样一个意识形态不稳定,社会动荡不安的地方经受的痛苦。但是,主人公感受到的耻...

評分俄狄浦斯王的结局众所周知,尽管不情不愿,不可悖逆的命运最终将他引导向毁灭。从三岔路上刺死父亲的那一瞬间开始,某种神谕体系的平衡即被打破,天枰倾斜,审判降临。在库切的《耻》中,生命的天枰也始终处于失衡状态,“耻辱”这一人类精神中极为不堪经验,如同一把匕首,狠...
評分Sunt lacrimae rerum, et mentem mortalia tangunt. 那是大自然的哭泣,人世间涌动着无尽的情欲。 读了库切的《耻》与《耶稣的童年》,里面均有对“欲望”问题的探讨。 《耻》中抛开由殖民遗留下来的历史郁结这个大背景,里面主人公卢里与他女儿的不同遭遇都在围绕“...
評分再讀一遍迴來改分
评分包羅萬象的故事。從城市到鄉村,grace 到 disgrace, 曆史走過一個圈,文明被生之欲打碎。或貪生,或貪愛,David 和我們的窘境,是成不瞭 Teresa, 又不甘淪落為狗,於是陷在 honour 的泥淖。由 Lucy 的故事聯想到社會背景相似的南非版硃莉小姐,白女主黑男僕間的對峙,階層差如玻璃之隔,種族似牆,性彆卻是山。
评分Quel malheureux...太悲情瞭,非常同情那個父親,更加同情那個女兒。南非這個國傢實在是太多故事太沉重瞭。。。
