Book Description
A chance meeting on the Fijian island of Taveuni is the trigger for a fascinating and mysterious novel that intertwines the stories of John Spooke, an English author who is grieving for his dead wife; Frank Andersen, a Norwegian evolutionary biologist estranged from his wife Vera; and an enigmatic Spanish couple, Ana and Jose, who are absorbed in their love for each other. Their stories are so strewn with mysteries and illusions that it is hard to say where one ends and the next begins, or if the accounts the characters give of themselves can be believed. Why does Ana bear such a close resemblance to the model for Goya's famous Maja paintings? What is the significance of the Joker as he steps out of his pack of cards? As the action moves from Fiji to Spain, from the present to the past, unfolding further stories within the stories, the novel reveals an astonishing richness and complexity. Maya debates and unravels the questions that give meaning to the lives of the characters – and to our own. At the same time it explores our ideas of the necessity for love. As bold and imaginative in its sweep as Sophie's World, it shows again that Jostein Gaarder's unique and special gift is to make us wonder at the awe-inspiring mystery of the universe.

評分俄羅斯套娃一般的故事,有三層。 作者喬斯坦•賈德寫的整個故事。 約翰•史普剋的敘述是“真實”的故事,有關他自己的喪妻、在斐濟遇到法蘭剋和安娜荷西以及最後他們在塞維爾的大團聚。 法蘭剋的敘述是約翰•史普剋寫的小說,這個故事比較玄幻,有關他在斐濟的經曆,以及...
評分高中時讀瞭蘇菲的世界,大學時讀瞭紙牌的秘密,沒想到這係列還有第三本,更沒想到這第三本是因為疫情蟄伏在傢期間無聊搜索發現,前後時光飛逝二十年。遺憾這本書有些虎頭蛇尾。開篇令人驚艷,宇宙意識,上帝藉由人類醒來,宇宙想要探索其內心,如夢如狂的囈語,仿佛是把我內心...
評分原本還以為,“oh yeah!Jostein Gaarder終於齣新書瞭!”,卻在看序的第一句的時候(“經過一百五十億年的等待,我終於要動筆寫這篇文章瞭。”)開始有種似曾相識的感覺。 看到下麵對這個故事的簡介時終於發現,這本書我看過的!!!初中時就看過的!但好像譯名不一樣。來豆...
評分有些人寫作就是讓人思考的。喬斯坦•賈德即是。但是引人思考的書一般很難吸引人。賈德的三本書,也就《紙牌的秘密》故事性強一些。《瑪雅》比《蘇菲的世界》故事性要強一點,但也強不到哪裏去。所以,這本書並不是很迷人。 《瑪雅》與其說是探討生命存在於地球的意義,不如說...
