凯特•阿特金森(Kate Atkinson):英国著名畅销小说作家,先后荣获南岸艺术文学奖,科斯塔奖,Waterstone年度作者,2013年凭借超级畅销书《生命不息》红遍全球。该书2013年4月在英美同步上市,空降各大畅销书榜NO.1,被《纽约时报》《时代周刊》《华盛顿邮报》等20多家媒体评选为“2013年度最佳图书”,被美国亚马逊编辑评选为“100本人生必读书”之一,也是英国2013年最畅销的长篇小说。
《生命不息》带领读者跟随女主角厄苏拉的脚步,看她如何在上世纪动荡的年代里,一遍又一遍活过自己的人生。作者阿特金森借由这个故事让我们见证,即使在最黑暗荒芜的时刻依旧有温暖的存在,并且透过她绝妙的叙事与描绘能力,带我们重返过去。这部小说颂赞了并存于人类中最光明美善与最丑陋不堪的面向,是阿特金森笔下最深刻且最具想象力的一部作品。
What if you could live again and again, until you got it right?
On a cold and snowy night in 1910, Ursula Todd is born to an English banker and his wife. She dies before she can draw her first breath. On that same cold and snowy night, Ursula Todd is born, lets out a lusty wail, and embarks upon a life that will be, to say the least, unusual. For as she grows, she also dies, repeatedly, in a variety of ways, while the young century marches on towards its second cataclysmic world war.
Does Ursula's apparently infinite number of lives give her the power to save the world from its inevitable destiny? And if she can -- will she?
Darkly comic, startlingly poignant, and utterly original -- this is Kate Atkinson at her absolute best.
米兰•昆德拉在《生命无法承受之轻》的开篇写道:“如果我们生命的每一秒钟都无限重复,我们就会像耶稣被钉死在十字架上一样被钉死在永恒上。这一想法是残酷的。在永恒轮回的世界里,一举一动都承受着不能承受的责任重负。”在凯特•阿特金森的《生命不息》一书中,女...
评分如果上帝将你的人生设置成一场游戏,拥有无限复活的次数,可以有不同要去征服的地图,只要你做了不同的选择。并且,你可以在不断累积经验值的同时,修正上一次的错误。当然,唯一的遗憾是,如果你的选择失误,你将一次又一次的亲临生命的苦痛,无限轮回。那么,这个游...
评分不断重启开机的生命 文/静流 1910年2月11日,程凤翔踏上了勘定中国西南边陲疆界的道路;同日,新军起义失败;同日,波丘尼发表了“未来派画家的宣言”;同日,毛泽东的原配夫人为罗一秀卒,享年二十一岁。 这就是历史上的1910年2月11日,没有发生什么特别重大的事件,也没有...
评分十五岁那年的某个夜晚,一个人在房间挑灯苦读时因极度困乏而睡着。半夜,于睡梦中悠然醒来,发现自己正捧着一本数学习题集躺在床上,一分钟后,台灯的插头处突然打起了火花。而我,在意识依然模糊的状态下,迅速地冲过去扯掉了台灯的插头,制止了一场即将发生的火灾。 这是发...
评分《黑衣人3》里有个可以预知未来的外星人,他脑中的世界并不是单一的,而是由多重空间复合而成。他能看得到一个生命的诞生,也看得出生命诞生背后有多少迷样的巧合。好莱坞总是偏重这样的故事,特别偏爱这种跨越时空的重叠。好像《时间旅行者》中不断穿梭的男人,或者是《源代...
This is a fiction story. There are areas that doesn't make sense but plese ignore it. I find this book is difficult to read. Difficult in the way of multiple story lines. I have to flip backward to remind me what happen in her previous life or lifes. The ending is open for discussion.
评分中产阶级的词汇量...结尾到底特么是哪个?故事倒是流畅,不过前后不同世代略有记不住还得回去查= =
评分I had high hopes for this book, but sadly it didn't work for me (it's more personal and the hiatus didn't help). However, I do admire Atkinson's ability to weave such a grand story with skill and precision. Reincarnation is not an easy subject to write about since it's very easy to make readers feel "gimmicky". Also a vivid portrait of the family.
评分The 3 stars is only for the interesting main idea. But soon you are wondering if the book should be called "I could have died many times". After a while you found yourself humming the song "dumb ways to die".
评分过家家式的小说。德国部分的情节可有可无,凭空捏造之嫌。哪段人生是最“真实”的呢?
