Greece in the age of Heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia. Here he is nobody, just another unwanted boy living in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles. Achilles, 'best of all the Greeks', is everything Patroclus is not - strong, beautiful, the child of a goddess - and by all rights their paths should never cross. Yet one day, Achilles takes the shamed prince under his wing and soon their tentative companionship gives way to a steadfast friendship. As they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine, their bond blossoms into something far deeper - despite the displeasure of Achilles's mother Thetis, a cruel and deathly pale sea goddess with a hatred of mortals. Fate is never far from the heels of Achilles. When word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, the men of Greece are called upon to lay siege to Troy in her name. Seduced by the promise of a glorious destiny, Achilles joins their cause, Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows Achilles into war, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they have learned, everything they hold dear. And that, before he is ready, he will be forced to surrender his friend to the hands of Fate. Profoundly moving and breathtakingly original, this rendering of the epic Trojan War is a dazzling feat of the imagination, a devastating love story, and an almighty battle between gods and kings, peace and glory, immortal fame and the human heart.
“如果唯有死亡才能让爱情不灭,我愿以鲜血交换永不分离。”一开始勾起我阅读欲望的只是这句凄美的语句,我小时候特别爱看希腊神话故事,对阿基里斯的印象仅仅是一位在战争中被射中脚后跟的悲剧英雄,但通过米勒的小说之后我才终于理清了故事的来龙去脉。 和凝重肃穆...
評分“你以为你知道这个故事,其实你只是知道了结局,要想深入故事的核心,你得从头开始。” 读这本书的时候,常常想起美剧《都铎王朝》的这几句开场白。我们都知道阿碦琉斯的愤怒,他与阿伽门农的恩怨,特洛伊的沦陷。但是米勒女士将这个尽人皆知的故事从头讲起,一场战争一场爱...
評分作为一个对肛交没有兴趣的又对女人没有兴趣的男人,生活在这个世界上,大多的时候是非常bitter的。世界上的存在不是动物凶猛,就是烛影摇红。即便有的时候能被一些东西弄笑,甚至大笑,然而内心的冰冷和漠然,是如此的沉重。一直一直那么多年,行尸走肉一般。能看的书越来越少...
這便是心中理想的阿喀琉斯和帕特羅剋洛斯的愛情。心潮澎湃地讀完這本徹頭徹尾的獲奬耽美小說,然後心痛地要死。早就知道的結局於是在先前越是美好就會越是覺得難過,翻到後半部分的時候心就開始一直懸在那裏被虐中,因為分離的時刻就要到瞭,就像是他們擔心著赫剋托耳的存亡一樣。但不理解的地方也有。
评分同人本,情節抓人迅速看完。一直在代入布拉德皮特的臉我也不想的....
评分Tender is the night.
评分Tender is the night.
评分這本書描寫的achilles和patroclus之間的關係,以及幾個世紀後alexander-hephaestion之間的副本為我理想的戀愛關係設定瞭基調——philtatos互補的感情地位和平等而互補的纔能。作者寫得很細膩,捕捉到瞭史詩原著中的細微暗示和文字遊戲,在這個意義上又勝過Mary Renault一籌。(耽美小說一本,這個暑假其實讀瞭shannon的好幾本,可惜豆瓣沒條目,申請的話都不見得會批準。)
