Though he may not speak of them, the memories still dwell inside Jacob Jankowski's ninety-something-year-old mind. Memories of himself as a young man, tossed by fate onto a rickety train that was home to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. Memories of a world filled with freaks and clowns, with wonder and pain and anger and passion; a world with its own narrow, irrational rules, its own way of life, and its own way of death. The world of the circus: to Jacob it was both salvation and a living hell.
Jacob was there because his luck had run out—orphaned and penniless, he had no direction until he landed on this locomotive "ship of fools." It was the early part of the Great Depression, and everyone in this third-rate circus was lucky to have any job at all. Marlena, the star of the equestrian act, was there because she fell in love with the wrong man, a handsome circus boss with a wide mean streak. And Rosie the elephant was there because she was the great gray hope, the new act that was going to be the salvation of the circus; the only problem was, Rosie didn't have an act—in fact, she couldn't even follow instructions. The bond that grew among this unlikely trio was one of love and trust, and ultimately, it was their only hope for survival.
Surprising, poignant, and funny, Water for Elephants is that rare novel with a story so engrossing, one is reluctant to put it down; with characters so engaging, they continue to live long after the last page has been turned; with a world built of wonder, a world so real, one starts to breathe its air.
具體描述
讀後感
故事构思还是很有意思，但是感觉没有像书封说的那么神，连欧普拉都推荐的书为什么没有让人觉得那么感动呢？我个人认为跟翻译有一定的关系。 看到了对译者的介绍，我觉得他还是一个对翻译，对文字充满热情的人。但是整本书的语言风格有点不固定，有时俗，有时雅，时而口语，时...
評分今天把《大象的眼泪》看完了。 有个朋友說這個是个烂书，其实也不怎么好看。情节也不复杂。过份简单了点。 一开始莫名其妙的倒叙，把关键的情节都写出来了。致使后面几乎没有什么悬念了。结果早知道了！ 就算心最急的讀者也不用翻著后面看結果了，敗筆啊。 不過，多少也有...
評分这一本畅销书，美国女作者莎拉.格鲁恩的作品，它的宣传词是：一次冒险换一个人生。听着很刺激，是不？ 我看书名和简介时，想起的是电影《大鱼/big fish》的场景，马戏团，千奇百怪的人，与众不同的刺激冒险经历。 实际上并不是这样。 多数女作家写的东西柔情似水，而冒险类的小...
評分 評分我向来都比较相信那些书籍的宣传。这本《大象的眼泪》也不例外。 能够被我买下全靠它华丽的宣传，“一印再印”、“洛阳纸贵”等字词迷惑了我的双眼，保鲜膜的包裹下也让我失去了知情权。 书读到一半，别说大象了，象毛我都没见一根。读完全书我才明白，什么写作灵感，什么仇...
用戶評價
我還記得小的時候看過的馬戲團，這種本身遊走在城市之間的稀奇古怪的團體帶著稀奇古怪的東西，還真是讓人心動，可是現在已經基本絕跡，有的時候還真的很懷念呢
评分我本來不想標這個條目的但是看到電影條目裏那麼多所謂原著黨我就不行瞭……這本書看到最後我恨不得撕瞭啊，尼瑪不帶這麼傑剋蘇的啊，尼瑪情節簡單得令人發指啊，尼瑪不說道德觀如何這種奇怪的高大全和矮挫醜的對決是怎麼迴事啊，尼瑪美國人能不能控製一下他們天馬行空的意淫啊，智商是硬傷啊……
评分awww... love the bit that Rosie speaks Polish! but they never explain about why Jacob was upset over "Water for Elephants". because elephants in circus actually don't like water?
评分很棒的閱讀體驗，沒想到大象那麼可愛～
