Elizabeth Gilbert is the author of a story collection, Pilgrims (a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award); a novel, Stern Men; and The Last American Man (a finalist for the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award).
The only thing wrong with this readable, funny memoir of a magazine writer's yearlong travels across the world in search of pleasure and balance is that it seems so much like a Jennifer Aniston movie. Like Jen, Liz is a plucky blond American woman in her thirties with no children and no major money worries. As the book opens, she is going through a really bad divorce and subsequent stormy rebound love affair. Awash in tears in the middle of the night on the floor of the bathroom, she begins to pray for guidance, “you know —— like, to God.” God answers. He tells her to go back to bed. I started seeing the Star headlines: “Jen's New Faith!” “What Really Happened at the Ashram!” “Jen's Brazilian Sugar Daddy —— Exclusive Photos!” Please understand that Gilbert, whose earlier nonfiction book, The Last American Man, portrayed a contemporary frontiersman, is serious about her quest. But because she never leaves her self-deprecating humor at home, her journey out of depression and toward belief lacks a certain gravitas. The book is composed of 108 short chapters (based on the beads in a traditional Indian japa mala prayer necklace) that often come across as scenes in a movie. And however sad she feels or however deeply she experiences something, she can't seem to avoid dressing up her feelings in prose that can get too cute and too trite. On the other hand, she convinced me that she acquired more wisdom than most young American seekers —— and did it without peyote buttons or other classic hippie medicines. When Gilbert determines that she requires a year of healing, her first stop is Italy, because she feels she needs to immerse herself in a language and culture that worships pleasure and beauty. This sets the stage for a “Jen's Romp in Rome,” where she studies Italian and, with newfound friends, searches for the best pizza in the world......
第2本 Eat, Pray, Love 书名:Eat, Pray, Love 作者:Elizabeth Gilbert, U.S.A 篇幅:445页,132559个单词 难度:没办法用首万词来测试,其实生词也很多,不过因为兴趣问题读了下来 用时:前部分读了三年,最后一半用透析法仅仅读了四天左右 词典:手机上的金山词霸 透析成...
評分年纪大到一定程度,就会对人力产生极端无助的感觉。事实上作为个人命运,这完全不是主观、客观、先天际遇或个人努力能够达成的顺理成章,也不是有付出就一定有收获。您在这边厢“鞠躬敬瘁死而后已”,人家那边厢已经“谈笑间樯橹灰飞烟灭”,到最后怎么不可能产生对命运的敬畏...
評分迄今为止,对这本书最不满意的就是中文译名,一辈子做女孩。如果有的时候对书的名字拿捏的不是很准的话,不如直接按字面翻译,可能结果要好一些。不过,除了名字之外,其他整本书的翻译都很灵,看起来很舒服。 我想,书的作者不仅仅是想要女孩般干净,年轻,宁静的心态,更是...
評分This is not a classic, or perhaps not of much literary value at all, but this is a book that has truly spoken to me when I was reading it. I laughed with her in Italy, meditated with her in India and liberated with her in Indonesia. It's definitely a book t...
評分放下:当你一觉醒来,感觉不再有热情,不再有热度,不再有火花,不再有信仰,那么,勇敢地出发吧。 静默:不要用眼睛看世界,用心去看,你会更接近心中的神明。 平衡:去爱、去相信,追寻内心的答案,当双脚再次触碰到大地,你会走得真实而坚定。

评分我依然天天禪坐,從斐利貝的床溜到沙發上,讓自己靜坐,對這一切錶達感激。在他的陽颱外頭,鴨子一路聒聒叫,穿越稻田,到處聒噪戲水。如此放鬆地潛入禪修,仿如我的情人正為我準備沐浴。在早晨的陽光下裸著身子,隻裹著一條薄毯,我融入恩典中,漂浮在無極的上空,猶如在湯匙上保持平衡的小貝殼。過去的人生,為何似乎很難。一切語言都是多餘的,我的心靈,生活,感情終於又重新復歸平靜和正常。這是一趟學習享樂的旅程,也是一場召喚自我的人生之旅。沒有旅伴,卻跟最親密的自己一起,由此更靠近自己。在這一整年的追尋快樂與虔誠之間的平衡中,我終於發現,拯救我的人,並非彆人,而是我自己操控我,拯救我。
