Synopsis
Hotel du Lac tells the story of Edith Hope, who writes romance novels under a psudonym. When her life begins to resemble the plots of her own novels, however, Edith flees to Switzerland, where the quiet luxury of the Hotel du Lac promises to restore her to her senses. But instead of peace and rest, Edith finds herself sequestered at the hotel with an assortment of love’s casualties and exiles. She also attracts the attention of a worldly man determined to release her unused capacity for mischief and pleasure.
如果是奔着1984年布克奖的光环来读此书,不好意思,您可能要失望了;如果你是一个女权主义者,可能此趟阅读也达不到您的期望,安妮塔·布鲁克纳和A.S.拜厄特一样有着学院派的背景,不过是一个笔下看似平淡如水却暗流涌动的女性小说家,她不急不缓,探寻着女性的心路历程,在探...
评分安妮塔•布鲁克纳(Anita Brookner,1928年–),英国作家和艺术历史学家。布鲁克纳开始从事双重职业,即写作和研究艺术史。她的第一部自传体小说《生活的开端》(1981年,53岁)出版问世,她的这部作品在美国以《初次登场》(The Debut)之名发表。她已经写了20多部小说,而...
评分audiobook narrated by Anna Massey. 怪不得她对每一个人物都表达得如此传神,因为她在1986年演过这部电影。从女性小说家的角度看世界果然浪漫又真实,以小见大。其中有一段Mr Neville评价 Edith现在的状态真是击中我了,结尾反而平淡。事实上,当有人能够一针见血地评价你的状态,并不代表他有多么懂你,只是因为他善于如此。女人比男人更容易被击倒的原因就是永远有人在告诉你怎么做。
评分Too many summaries, too few scenes so far,I am getting impatient.Alas, I take it all back,I am more and more drawn into it as I read on. The style is very much like that of Henry James',one of my favourite stylists.Even the sporadic use of french.
评分文字版asmar boring 学文笔用
评分她回去了!她做到了!作者笔触十分细腻,特别是在描写山庄周遭环境和女主内心戏的时候(描写女主幻想十分舒适但非其所想的婚姻生活时,以及描写女主如何卑微地爱着大卫时),可以将读者完全代入其中。由于看的是(企鹅)原版,理解可能不是十分透彻,我似乎没看出女主在山庄里遇见的人对她产生了多大的影响(遗产母女、盲人太太)。我只看出Neville(直男癌)让女主更加真切地认识了自己,坚定了其“做自己”的决心。我不禁为这个小说想了一个后续。女主回到英国,再次见到大卫,但是发现大卫有了另一个情妇……
评分消遣读,没有特别喜恶。笔法不寻常,是那种写景都能往抽象里去的调式。写人的时候倒往往很精彩,足见wording上下的功夫。翻译绝对会很累。前文过于平淡,倒是衬托了一下结尾的迷你高潮。但是高潮的铺垫又不充分,整个Mr N 的存在违和感强烈。
