English anthropologist Andrew Bankson has been alone in the field for several years, studying the Kiona river tribe in the Territory of New Guinea. Haunted by the memory of his brothers’ deaths and increasingly frustrated and isolated by his research, Bankson is on the verge of suicide when a chance encounter with colleagues, the controversial Nell Stone and her wry and mercurial Australian husband Fen, pulls him back from the brink. Nell and Fen have just fled the bloodthirsty Mumbanyo and, in spite of Nell’s poor health, are hungry for a new discovery. When Bankson finds them a new tribe nearby, the artistic, female-dominated Tam, he ignites an intellectual and romantic firestorm between the three of them that burns out of anyone’s control.
Set between two World Wars and inspired by events in the life of revolutionary anthropologist Margaret Mead, Euphoria is an enthralling story of passion, possession, exploration, and sacrifice from accomplished author Lily King.
这会是我2017年的最佳书籍 在看这本书期间,刚好自己选了“降临”这部电影来看。说真的,对我这大学生来说,对世界的认知、对爱情的感受加深了很多。就像是整个人的想法都升级了,让自己对人类学语言学有一定的了解和好奇。 而中文版的文字很美,即使里面经常有欢愉性的内容,...

评分随着年龄的增长,逐渐也读到了一些描写情爱的文字。有些作者写得直接奔放,有些则倾向于婉约隐晦。这本书《欢愉》,最让我喜欢的是描述了一种爱而不得却喷薄欲出的渴望,让我心生荡漾。 在读过的关于情爱的描写里,印象里很深刻的有《挪威的森林》,那时候是我刚参加工作三个月...
评分我读不下去…写实的小说真的很难看下去…美国废墟是这样…dear life是这样…这本还是这样…还是要暂时放弃了
评分明明是三个人的电影,可是谁都有姓名。
评分有点颠覆三观。看到最后深深被书里的情绪感染。
评分挣扎着看了26页,三角恋什么的还是不想看。
评分Attraction of minds and body in a foreign locale, simple and seductive wrought with high drama; the early musings of anthropologists in an exciting time, anthro. as the study of people/personalities/self, the grid is like Myers-Briggs
