我怎麼看怎麼覺得彆扭,但是還是在繼續看。我要看看,這個作者要怎麼意淫中國最後的一個皇太後。我試圖拋棄原來的一切成見,那這書當fiction小說看。
評分書是N年前買的原版,作者閔安琪據傳是陳衝的同學,文革期間被迫離開中國。作為一個中國人能用非母語的英語寫成詞匯、句法如此豐富的故事實屬不易。作者用近乎給慈禧翻案的筆觸塑造瞭一個渴求愛情、望子成龍的女性形象。她渴望擁有至高權利的男人的愛因此入宮;渴望自己的兒子能像個男人、帝王一樣掌管權利但又恨鐵不成鋼因此開始垂簾聽政,但身邊的兩個男人都讓她失望瞭,也在中國這個男權的封建社會裏留下瞭韆古罵名。我對慈禧的認知完全停留在曆史課本裏,但很欣賞作者的寫作功力,將一個勇敢又自私的女性寫得如此栩栩如生。總體感覺是寫給外國人看的,裏麵的鹹豐帝以及垂簾聽政的細節看著像極瞭野史。題外話:裏麵描寫美女的形容詞好多吖~~

評分看完就落在瞭酒店,曆史不可再迴首,多應景
評分在圖書館藉的英文書。好久沒看英文書瞭。
The last decades of the nineteenth century were a violent period in China's history marked by humiliating foreign incursions and domestic rebellion, ultimately ending in the demise of the Ch'ing dynasty. The only constant during this tumultuous time was the power wielded by one person, the resilient, ever-resourceful Tzu Hsi, Lady Yehonala -- or Empress Orchid, as readers came to know her in Anchee Min's critically acclaimed novel covering the first part of her life.
The Last Empress is the story of Orchid's dramatic transition from a strong-willed, instinctive young woman to a wise and politically savvy leader who ruled China for more than four decades. Moving from the intimacy of the concubine quarters into the spotlight of the world stage, Orchid must face not only the perilous condition of her empire but also a series of devastating personal losses, as first her son and then her adopted son succumb to early death. Yearning only to step aside, and yet growing constantly into her role, only she—allied with the progressives, but loyal to the conservative Manchu clan of her dynasty—can hold the nation's rival factions together.
Anchee Min offers a powerful revisionist portrait based on extensive research of one of the most important figures in Chinese history. Viciously maligned by the western press of the time as the "Dragon Lady," a manipulative, blood-thirsty woman who held onto power at all costs, the woman Min gives us is a compelling, very human leader who assumed power reluctantly, and who sacrificed all she had to protect those she loved and an empire that was doomed to die.
我不知道为什么,我曾经想抛开一切历史上对慈禧的偏见,只拿这本当个女人的故事看,可是总是觉得脱不了那些干系。可能作者写给对中国历史不是那么感情投入的外国人,也许还可以得到点共鸣。我,可能已经被洗脑很久了,看不惯了。 换个角度想想,当年我看法国最后的皇后marie-a...
