Set on the eve of the Rape of Nanjing -- when Japanese troops invaded the historic capital city, massacred hundreds of thousands, and committed thousands of rapes -- Nanjing 1937 is a tender and humorous story of an impossible love and a lively, detailed historical portrait of a culture on the verge of rupture. The novel centers on the life of Ding Wenyu, a privileged, womanizing, narcissistic professor of languages, and traces the course of the affair that transforms him from outlandish rake to devoted lover. Throughout the story, Ding's often comically unabashed "romantic offensive" toward a much younger woman, Ren Yuyuan (with whom he brazenly falls in love on the day of her wedding to another man), echoes the acts of war unfolding around him as the Japanese close in, even as he himself remains largely oblivious to the coming onslaught. Known for his stylistic innovation, Ye Zhaoyan creates tragic and endearing characters while vividly capturing the daily life of 1930s wartime China. "I find myself unable to truly understand that history that historians call history," Ye has observed. "All I see are shattered pieces and broken fragments, and a handful of melancholic stories destined to come to naught, all quietly playing out upon the grand stage of history." This historiography of despair achieved its most poignant expression in 1996 with the Chinese publication of Nanjing 1937: A Love Story, which immediately became a bestseller, hailed by critics as a masterpiece of contemporary Chinese literature. Now translated into English for the first time, informed by meticulous historical research and tinged with the author's unique brand of humor, Nanjing 1937: A Love Story is a work of fiction unlike any ever seen. This epic story of a man and a woman who discover love in a time of fear and uncertainty announces the arrival of major voice on the international literary scene.
1,关于爱情,好在用历史背景渲染冲击力,比较震撼。 2,在大历史背景下塑造小人物如和尚反而让人感觉到浓烈的人文情怀。 3,显赫的大人物身上有太多光环,这种光环放在任何一个历史真实人物身上都适用,不是塑造典型的可取之处。 4,总体上看这部小说,还是比较有历史感觉的。丁...
评分这是一本写爱的小说,写得很纯粹。 丁问渔让我想起了陆焉识,一样的语言天才,一样的幡然悔悟。不过叶兆言的处理要比严歌苓高明很多,陆焉识的回归更像是落魄者对往昔的追忆,不能不怀疑他对婉喻的爱是历经磨难后的错觉。丁问渔就不同了,他对雨媛的爱就只是爱,与其说他爱雨媛...
评分总感觉叶先生写这本书想要讲述的本不单单是一段爱情,而是加了修饰的“一九七三年”。这是一个敏感的年代,南京沦陷的年代。 退却那个时代的硝烟弥漫,愈加地感受到南京古城的可爱。身处南京,第一次有这么强烈的愿望想要探寻属于它背后的故事,第一次如此强烈的感受...
