克里斯托弗·尼柯尔森(Christopher Nicholson)
作家,BBC广播公司编剧和制片人。对自然史兴趣浓厚,为BBC制作的节目多以人与动物间的关系为主题,所拍纪录片曾获普利策奖。1984年,在尼泊尔奇旺国家公园同大象初次亲密接触,自此与大象结下不解之缘。
2009年,长篇小说处女作《大象詹妮与我》面世,获得如潮好评。大象詹妮的坎坷一生和守护者汤姆对詹妮毕生追随的故事感人至深。叙事技巧超凡脱俗,笔触余味悠长,字里行间渗透着对人与动物关系的深挚思考及世间万物皆平等的悲悯情怀。
"I asked the sailor what an Elephant looked like; he replied that it was like nothing on earth." "England, 1766: " After a long voyage from the East Indies, a ship docks in Bristol, England, and rumor quickly spreads about its unusual cargo--some say a mermaid is on board. A crowd forms, hoping to catch a glimpse of the magical creature. One crate after another is unpacked: a zebra, a leopard, and a baboon. There's no mermaid, but in the final two crates is something almost as magical--a pair of young elephants, in poor health but alive. Seeing a unique opportunity, a wealthy sugar merchant purchases the elephants for his country estate and turns their care over to a young stable boy, Tom Page. Tom's family has long cared for horses, but an elephant is something different altogether. It takes time for Tom and the elephants to understand one another, but to the surprise of everyone on the estate, a remarkable bond is formed. "The Elephant Keeper," the story of Tom and the elephants, in Tom's own words, moves from the green fields and woods of the English countryside to the dark streets and alleys of late-eighteenth-century London, reflecting both the beauty and the violence of the age. Nicholson's lush writing and deft storytelling complement a captivating tale of love and loyalty between one man and the two elephants that change the lives of all who meet them.
十三岁时,汤姆认识了詹妮。 在这个英国北部的小郡里,没有人见过大象,更没有人知道该如何饲养它们。汤姆就凭借着他对马的了解,小心翼翼的治疗起了漂洋过海、饱受磨难的詹妮和蒂莫西。小汤姆用一颗孩童的纯真的心,用温柔与爱,来治疗詹妮的伤病。喂它甜玉米和胡萝卜,给它清...
评分看到结局的时候,还是有点不能接受,但是可能是最好的结局吧!都说大象可以活很多很多年,我最怕看到的结局是,在汤姆去世之后,詹妮该怎么生活?谁要给詹妮洗澡?谁要陪詹妮说话?结果竟然是汤姆离开了詹妮,这中间最残忍的一段作者直接略过,我都能想象詹妮过得有多辛...

评分不知为何,从小就觉得大象带着安详的特质,让人安心。第一眼在学校图书馆看见这本书,就想马上读完。(虽然这本书原本不在我的阅读计划里) 虽然在这过程中也想过汤姆与詹妮最后的结果是怎样的,但是真正读到结尾时,却不再纠结于他们的结局。可能因为他们的心是一直牵绊在...
评分一直对大象有种特殊的情感,每次去动物园,看到它们拖着庞大的身躯在园中缓慢沉稳地踱步,长长的鼻子随意而优雅地弯曲着,总是忍不住在这里驻足,着迷地观察他们那旁若无人的姿态,并且留连忘返。 这是一本充满灵性的书,它用细腻深情的笔触,记录了来自印度群岛的大象詹尼和象...
