From the internationally acclaimed, best-selling author of The English Patient: a mesmerizing new novel that tells a dramatic story set in the decade after World War II through the lives of a small group of unexpected characters and two teenagers whose lives are indelibly shaped by their unwitting involvement.
In a narrative as beguiling and mysterious as memory itself--shadowed and luminous at once--we read the story of fourteen-year-old Nathaniel, and his older sister, Rachel. In 1945, just after World War II, they stay behind in London when their parents move to Singapore, leaving them in the care of a mysterious figure named The Moth. They suspect he might be a criminal, and they grow both more convinced and less concerned as they come to know his eccentric crew of friends: men and women joined by a shared history of unspecified service during the war, all of whom seem, in some way, determined now to protect, and educate (in rather unusual ways) Rachel and Nathaniel. But are they really what and who they claim to be? And what does it mean when the siblings' mother returns after months of silence without their father, explaining nothing, excusing nothing? A dozen years later, Nathaniel begins to uncover all that he didn't know and understand in that time, and it is this journey--through facts, recollection, and imagination--that he narrates in this masterwork from one of the great writers of our time.
“他说人生中难保不发生突然事件,需要我们控制自我,不迷失心智,我们需要为这样的时刻做好准备,才能在它万一出现时有效地加以应对。”这样的道理却不是来自父母的教导,而是来自一个陌生人的解释。于是那个单词——“schwer” (困厄) 开始慢慢的频繁的出现在书中,并意味深...
評分 評分 評分文 / 芮娜 本书是《英国病人》作者迈克尔·翁达杰的新作《战时灯火》,在书的腰封上,我们可以看到它的宣传语是“诺贝尔奖得主石黑一雄熟读到可以背出来的书”。其实石黑一雄对翁达杰及其作品的喜爱几乎人尽皆知。据说,石黑一雄熟读《战时灯火》到可以随口说出书中细节的程度...
評分(文章见于晶报深港书评) 文/俞耕耘 翁达杰曾说,他写小说就像抽丝剥茧的考古,呈现过去,重返现在。这其实是自诩一种才华:让想象逼近现实,使细节变为结构,承载生活。这位获得金布克奖的作家,以《英国病人》一书闻名于世。2018年,小说《战时灯火》入围布克奖,再次显示了...
喜歡Part1 Schwer. Agnes&狗的雷雨夜很美 但中斷的好突然. Part2某些部分突然轉換全能視角/想像視角略奇怪 那還安排他做*工作為乜 如果隻發現Marsh的關聯和當年The Darter實際在做什麼的話? 哦還有Darter現住址 因一首詩而發現的Darter和*真是/"You return to that earlier time armed with the present, and no matter how dark that world was, you do not leave it unlit. You take your adult self with you. It's not to be a reliving, but a rewitnessing."
评分讀翁達傑的文字需要耐心和智慧,看透碎片式敘述之後藏著的那些聯係,如同最後發現的Agnes縫好掛在牆上的毯子,full of codes and unspoken agonies. 雖然跟英國病人的宏大比,這本關於冷戰的諜戰小說有些重復,但有那麼幾句話,讓人心頭一緊。 We change, we evolve. We are what we are for all our sufferings and mistakes in the past. 結尾那段宛若對這本小說囈語般敘述方式的反映:We order our lives with barely held stories. As if we have been lost in a confusing landscape.
评分有誰真正瞭解自己的媽媽
评分Overrated.
评分我還是最愛Part1。讀到中間段落其實內心裏已經有些明瞭瞭,翁達傑在Part1裏描述的十分動人,迷惘之下缺失且一直在尋找著的,不乏戰火中與能引起共情的相同缺失,但同時也是在獨有細膩之處串起種種片段。後麵偶爾感覺有些脫離,但讓我感受到並且沉迷於他的真切之處在於,尋找與迷失之下又不乏那對這世間即使毫無迴路之處的繾綣與留戀。
