The final curtain is closing on the Second World War, and Hana, a nurse, stays behind in an abandoned Italian villa to tend to her only remaining patient. Rescued by Bedouins from a burning plane, he is English, anonymous, damaged beyond recognition and haunted by his memories of passion and betrayal. The only clue Hana has to his past is the one thing he clung on to through the fire? a copy of The Histories by Herodotus, covered with hand-written notes describing a painful and ultimately tragic love affair.
Philip Michael Ondaatje, CC FRSL (born 12 September 1943), is a Sri Lanka-born Canadian poet, fiction writer, essayist, novelist, editor and filmmaker. He is the recipient of multiple literary awards such as the Governor General's Award, the Giller Prize, the Booker Prize, and the Prix Médicis étranger. Ondaatje is also an Officer of the Order of Canada, recognizing him as one of Canada's most renowned living authors. Ondaatje's literary career began with his poetry in 1967, publishing The Dainty Monsters, and then in 1970 the critically acclaimed The Collected Works of Billy the Kid. However, he is more recently recognized for his nationally and internationally successful novel The English Patient (1992), which was adapted into a film in 1996. In 2018, Ondaatje won the Golden Man Booker Prize for The English Patient. In addition to his literary writing, Ondaatje has been an important force in "fostering new Canadian writing" with two decades commitment to Coach House Press (around 1970-90), and his editorial credits on Canadian literary projects like the journal Brick, and the Long Poem Anthology (1979), among others.
二战末期,在意大利郊外的别墅里住着四个人:痛失亲人的护士汉娜、失去双手拇指的小偷卡拉瓦乔、每天如履薄冰的扫雷兵基普,还有因为严重烧焦失去皮肤的英国病人。四个在战争中经历过不同创伤的人,并没有因为远离尘俗过得更为轻松,反而,回忆就像一剂慢性毒药,侵蚀他们千疮...
评分Well, I have to say, the book is quite different from the movie. One can regard them as separated work. Though they both are based on the same plot and characters, the way they present the story, the pattern and tone, the main focus of the story telling are...
评分总有一本小说,会让你感受到文字的魅力,却又能让你忘记文字这种形式沉醉其中。会让你享受书中的故事,却又在读后掩卷沉思。 不同国家、职业,性格特异的四个人因为一场战争,而聚集在一座荒废的别墅里,战争虽已远离,却余威犹在,它在每个人身上刻下的都是不动声色却刻骨铭心...
评分正好看到一句话,“爱情一旦遭到心智的干预,意志的加强,或当作人格的附庸,自我的占有,它已经不是爱,而是一团糟。”

评分当爱情从accompaniment过渡到ownership的那一刻就是毁灭的开始。这本书好难读,四条主线不说,主人公每注射一次吗啡就要穿越回去一次,每次穿越降落的时间顺序还是乱的。很多人说故事中的废弃房子是男男女女纯净的伊甸园,我倒觉得是忏悔坛,把这个仪式走完,该死去的死去,该重生的重生。
评分you speak so many languages, but you never want to talk
评分读到偏结尾处一章内的一句“call me by my name”下意识一愣,合理怀疑Aciman从Ondaatje这里偷了不少灵感。文字像诗又像散文,却被最终以小说形式出版,integration之下不乏肆意浪漫。另外还是要感叹一句post-war era真是出杰作的黄金年代啊,战争加爱情,辅以艺术家们的一点才气,好故事都被写尽。
