Enigma of Arrival pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
Discursive and ruminative, more like an extended essay than a novel, the intricately structured chapters in this highly autobiographical book reveal "the writer defined by his . . . ways of seeing." Naipaul, in his own person, narrates a series of events, beginning during a period of soul-healing in Wiltshire, circling back to the day of his departure from Trinidad in 1950 when he was 18, describing his time in London before he went up to Oxford, moving back to Trinidad after his sister's death: these journeys are a metaphor for his life. With beautiful use of detail recaptured from an extraordinary memory, with exquisitely nuanced observations of the natural world and his own interior landscape, he shows how experience is transmogrified after much incertitude and paininto literature. This is a melancholy book, the testament of a man who has stoically willed himself to endure disappointment, alienation, change and grief. Naipaul lays bare the loneliness, vulnerability and anxieties of his life, the sensibility that is both an asset for the writer and a burden for the man. He demonstrates this brilliantly by describing other peoplemainly his neighbors in a village near Stonehenge. Using these characters as catalysts, Naipaul peels back protective layers of memory, sparing himself nothing, revealing the mistakes and inadequacies of his life. The drama resides in small incidents: the death of a cottager, the firing of an estate's gardener; with each account, the narrative is spun more tightly into a seamless tapestry, a powerful document by a master of his craft.

评分1845年7月4日，28岁的梭罗开始了在瓦尔登湖的独居生活，历时两年两个月又两天。梭罗生前出版的两部作品都写就在这离群索居的两年多时间，一部是悼念亡兄的《在康科德河与梅里麦克河上的一周》，另一部就是闻名世界的《瓦尔登湖》。 奈保尔的《抵达之谜》完成于1986年，被认为是...
评分“但这个久违的人受到了摧残。老妇般的脸是一个无药可救的人的脸。虽然他拒绝了我奉上的一杯酒（我的无意之举，我完全不知道他的近况），但坚持我该喝一杯，他谦谦有礼，反客为主。他过于明显的痊愈和其他凶险的疾病一样，只是暂时的缓解，让他再看一看他将离开的世界，让他道...
