"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"

第一次听闻“兽医文学”这个概念,始于James Herriot。最早拿到的是本书的电子稿,分享给一位自称基本不读书的朋友,被一气呵成,并盛赞台湾译者种衍伦的精彩。 作者James Herriot最让人唏嘘的一点是,他获颁大英帝国勋章,多部作品荣膺《纽约时报》畅销书榜首,红遍大西洋两岸...
评分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...
评分书没有读多少,胃口却越来越刁,想找本睡前最适合的越来越难了。但是从我买回英国兽医吉米•哈利的两本《万物既伟大又渺小》和《万物有灵且美》之后,这个问题就不存在了。而且令我遗憾的是有时我不得不舍它们而去看几本新书------尽管我已是看第三遍了。 一本翻...
评分把《All Things Bright And Beautiful》译为“万物有灵且美”,的确是神来之笔,这样的书名,本身就是诱惑,何况还有和菜头的推荐,何况还有同事借阅给此书,所以,不看,是对不起这书和这些人的,在看完之后,我觉得,不看,是连同书中的动物们也对不起的,因为它们太可爱。 ...
such a lovely book
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such a lovely book
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
