Inspired by the W.B. Yeats poem that tempts a child from home to the waters and the wild, "The Stolen Child" is a modern fairy tale narrated by the child Henry Day and his double.""On a summer night, Henry Day runs away from home and hides in a hollow tree. There he is taken by the changelings--an unaging tribe of wild children who live in darkness and in secret. They spirit him away, name him Aniday, and make him one of their own. Stuck forever as a child, Aniday grows in spirit, struggling to remember the life and family he left behind. He also seeks to understand and fit in this shadow land, as modern life encroaches upon both myth and nature. In his place, the changelings leave a double, a boy who steals Henry's life in the world. This new Henry Day must adjust to a modern culture while hiding his true identity from the Day family. But he can't hide his extraordinary talent for the piano (a skill the true Henry never displayed), and his dazzling performances prompt his father to suspect that the son he has raised is an imposter. As he ages the new Henry Day becomes haunted by vague but persistent memories of life in another time and place, of a German piano teacher and his prodigy. Of a time when he, too, had been a stolen child. Both Henry and Aniday obsessively search for who they once were before they changed places in the world. "The Stolen Child" is a classic tale of leaving childhood and the search for identity. With just the right mix of fantasy and realism, Keith Donohue has created a bedtime story for adults and a literary fable of remarkable depth and strange delights.
此书翻译非常之好,不过百密一疏,还是有所不足: 第17页,“她会准备好我们的晚餐,把我的同伴叫到餐桌旁” 后半句的原文是my company at tableside,company是“陪伴”的意思,即“把我叫到餐桌旁陪她”。 第34页,“马丁先生忙于评价我母亲,没有注意到这无言的交流。” ...

評分 評分今天终于把这本《失窃的孩子》看完了,本来是想从里面读出一些好玩的东西的,但是合上书本的时候却只剩下感叹和哀伤。 没有什么时空转换和起死回生的魔法,不管是亨利戴还是安尼戴,或者是古斯塔夫,名字不过是一个符号罢了,而他们作为孩子的那一段时光都已经被偷走了,不再...
