"Oh my human brothers, let me tell you how it happened." So begins the chilling fictional memoir of Dr. Maximilien Aue, a former Nazi officer who has reinvented himself, many years after the war, as a middle-class family man and factory owner in France. Max is an intellectual steeped in philosophy, literature, and classical music. He is also a cold-blooded assassin and the consummate bureaucrat. Through the eyes of this cultivated yet monstrous man, we experience in disturbingly precise detail the horrors of the Second World War and the Nazi genocide of the Jews. During the period from June 1941 through April 1945, Max is posted to Poland, the Ukraine, and the Caucasus; he is present at the Battle of Stalingrad and at Auschwitz; and he lives through the chaos of the final days of the Nazi regime in Berlin. Although Max is a totally imagined character, his world is peopled by real historical figures, such as Eichmann, Himmler, Goring, Speer, Heyrich, Hoss, and Hitler himself. A supreme historical epic and a haunting work of fiction, Jonathan Littell's masterpiece is intense, hallucinatory, and utterly original. Published to impressive critical acclaim in France in 2006, it went on to win the Prix Goncourt, that country's most prestigious literary award, and sparked a broad range of responses and questions from readers: How does fiction deal with the nature of human evil? How should a novel encompass the Holocaust? At what point do history and fiction come together and where do they separate? A provocative and controversial work of literature, "The Kindly Ones" is a morally challenging read; it holds up a mirror to humanity--and the reader cannot look away.

评分摘自《外滩画报》 作者：陈嫣婧 坦率地说，阅读《复仇女神》是需要一些勇气的，不仅仅在于它七八百页的大部头。通常，一本厚小说往往意味着它的容量足以使你领略有关叙事艺术的方方面面，但乔纳森•利特尔却并非这样的作家。《复仇女神》在写作技巧上无甚特色，倒不是...

评分 评分入了昏暗的地狱 《复仇女神》 独眼 从没有一本书像《复仇女神》这样让我畏惧，它的目的不是给人一次愉快的阅读体验，我每次翻开它，就被它边白极少的文字紧紧夹着裹着拉进一个噩梦般的泥泞地狱，无数尸体、血块就猝不及防地扑面而来。全文以古典音乐的曲名分了七章，分段很少...
