Magic realism, at its best, should appear extrtaordinary, yet somehow believable. Allende's portrayal of the interesting lives of certain members of her family, is so convincing, that their connection with the other world is almost treated like a debilitating defect, a characterisitic that the family accept, yet at the same time is a little ashamed of. The playing down of such traits (if true, and of this I am still unsure) makes the logically impossible appear real. The story centre's on the lives of three generations of Truebas. At it's heart the book attempts to show, that peoples paths are predetermined and any desire to change what is preordained is both futile and destructive. Trueba is a man against the world. He is a self made man, who believes in order. The book insinuates that being a self made man, he is more concerned about others' perception of his family, than of his family's wellbeing, however, one gets the distinct impression throughout that Trueba believes that what he is doing is right. Battles are fought on every front, and ultimately, he fails in all of these, bar the financial struggle, the vanquishing of which he achieves in his youth. The life of the family is set against the political developments in the unnamed country, which we all assume to be Chile and in particular two different takes on the onset of socialism. Trueba, beleives that his form of conservative pragmatism is to be maintained, whilst almost all members of his family become aware of the social injustice that is preserved through the maintenance of the status quo. This conflict is only reconciled at the end of the book. It is an enlightening and ultimately comforting read, that convincingly illuminates the destructive force that radical ideology can have on a family.
两类书最难写书评,一类是工具类的,这是因为受众的狭隘造成的,只有一小部分能看懂,而你写评价的时候,更加要小心,因为看得懂的人,也许比你懂,你万不可不懂装懂;另一类是故事类,尤其是极其庞大的故事,比如《幽灵之家》,作家花了几十万字写了一个很长很复杂的...
评分南美洲。 关于南美洲我知道的不多,在历史及地理课本中这个大洲总是被一笔带过,我所知道的只是这里是印加、玛雅文化的发源地;20世纪的时候跟随着世界风潮这里也在闹共产主义革命,并且出了一位响誉世界的革命家——切·格瓦拉;这里的人皮肤黝黑、脸部轮廓明显、体...
评分丫挺投机,身份错乱,像蹩脚特工,假护照一掏,五六七八九,一摞,啥颜色都有,里头居然还印着“小说家”。这头衔倒符合鸡尾酒会气氛,但是否符合她心底本色,只有她自己知道。不过也难说。这世道,无间久了,谎言难免成真,搞得伊自己都信了。拨开迷雾仔细观瞧...
