"A very warm, very engaging read. . . . The reader falls totally under his spell." --"Associated Press " The second volume in the multimillion copy bestselling series Millions of readers have delighted in the wonderful storytelling and everyday miracles of James Herriot in the over thirty years since his delightful animal stories were first introduced to the world. Now in a new edition for the first time in a decade, "All Things Bright and Beautiful" is the beloved sequel to Herriot's first collection, "All Creatures Great and Small," and picks up as Herriot, now newly married, journeys among the remote hillside farms and valley towns of the Yorkshire Dales, caring for their inhabitants---both two- and four-legged. Throughout, Herriot's deep compassion, humor, and love of life shine out as we laugh, cry, and delight in his portraits of his many, varied animal patients and their equally varied owners. "Humor, realism, sensitivity, earthiness; animals comic and tragic; and people droll, pathetic, courageous, eccentric---all of whom he views with the same gentle compassion and a lively sense of the sad, the ridiculous, and the admirable." --"Columbus Dispatch"
万物有零儿且有整儿 再高标的人,听说到一本早已期待的书要再版,看了封面之后,总是要去“庸俗”地看看定价的——但对于一本能改变一生或者能唤醒某种久远感情的书,金钱标签也许真不是大问题。本书的定位很高,我想这有零儿有整儿的定价跟这书的插图有关吧。其实他们还可以...
评分书本身有意思,但译者显然没有足够的医学知识,书中不时出现让人别扭的医学名词。我不是兽医,但依人的疾病类推,粗看了一下,有些比较明显的疑似错误。 1、P21,“春天的声音”一文,“缺钙症”疑似低血钙症;“副甲状腺”疑似甲状旁腺;“紧急状态”医学惯常说法为应激; 2、...
评分从小对动物有一种畏惧心里,看到小区里的宠物一般都是绕着走,曾经因为亲戚家的猫突然从背后扑过来失手将手里的碗摔了出去……也曾去海洋馆隔着玻璃橱窗被一只小小的鱼凶猛的神情吓到过…… 所以当我看到这本书时,很是犹豫了一番,我想对于我这样一个和动物似乎没什么...
评分是那种淡淡的温柔 随性而认真 就像我怀念军训的日子里大家像一家人 每天站着枯燥的军姿还能互相逗笑来解闷 倔强地一遍遍练习 因为有人不懂事气走了教官 勇敢站出来带着大家继续训练的总排头 因夜晚训练着凉发烧还坚持来看我们训练的教官 因体力不支晕倒...
评分看到一篇把一个人的名字叫错3遍,Mrs Cook,Mrs Booby,Mrs Doobley ...笑翻了。。。
评分He understood the beauty of life.
评分很平常的故事,但讲得特别精彩
评分因为已经听完了两本,所以顺手翻了一百多页中文版,实在惨不忍睹。译者尽力语言诙谐幽默,但仍然无法还原原版那种举重若轻的戏谑,那种对生命和自然的热爱。另外Christopher Timothy诠释的太好了,没办法,人家本身就是哈利的扮演者嘛
评分小清新
