Kazuo Ishiguro was born in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1954 and moved to Britain at the age of five. He is the author of four previous novels, including The Remains of the Day, an international bestseller that won the Booker Prize and was adapted into an award-winning film. Ishiguro's work has been translated into twenty-eight languages. In 1995, he received an Order of the British Empire for service to literature, and in 1998 was named a Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government. He lives in London with his wife and daughter.
From the Booker Prize-winning, bestselling author of Remains of the Day comes this stunning work of soaring imagination.
Born in early-twentieth-century Shanghai, Banks was orphaned at the age of nine after the separate disappearances of his parents. Now, more than twenty years later, he is a celebrated figure in London society; yet the investigative expertise that has garnered him fame has done little to illuminate the circumstances of his parents' alleged kidnappings. Banks travels to the seething, labyrinthine city of his memory in hopes of solving the mystery of his own, painful past, only to find that war is ravaging Shanghai beyond recognition-and that his own recollections are proving as difficult to trust as the people around him.
Masterful, suspenseful and psychologically acute, When We Were Orphans offers a profound meditation on the shifting quality of memory, and the possibility of avenging one’s past.
这部作品,作者充分展示了他的隐喻技巧。以讲故事见长的石黑一雄,在这部作品中先是将一个具有完整轮廓的故事打碎成记忆的残片,再将隐喻赋予到人物,情节和对白上,使故事不再只是一个简单的故事,而是时时刻刻具有强烈的精神指向。故事的一根主线推动所有表面碎片的情节向前...
评分还剩未出版的长日将尽和莫失莫忘以及据说曲高和寡的无可慰藉没有读。目前而言,我觉得这是我最喜欢的一本小说了,翻译也是目前我觉得最优秀的。在快结尾时男主叔叔对男主坦白一切时,那种愤怒的语气真的在脑海浮现,有如自带音效一般,这是目前我头一次读到这么让人有临场感的...
评分在民国梦一度盛行又开始被解构的当下,读这本书还有点意思。 1.最重要的是Christopher这个角色的理想主义和软弱、中立和冷漠。 作为一个理想主义者,当他面对庸碌的逐利之徒时,明明是后者更叫人恶心,前者反而总是显得无理取闹和幼稚。这一点在他回到上海之后尤其明显,穿越...

Nostalgia encouraged by the loss of memory
评分石黑一雄在其他作品中让人有些不耐的特质在这里密集地让人很想拿大棍抡他
评分But for those like us, our fate is to face the world as orphans, chasing through long years the shadows of vanished parents.
评分Ishiguro's ambitious attempt at an epic often fails to convince, but his forte lies in capturing the unspeakable. In resolving a mystery, in negotiating through traumatic memories, Ishiguro lays bare the abysmal gap between reality and imagination in individuals whose lives have been torn to pieces in a clash of empires.
评分Of course it turns out to have nothing to do with my research and the entire set-up has some intrinsic problems, but a good read nonetheless
