These three internationally acclaimed novels have confirmed Agota Kristof's reputation as one of the most provocative exponents of new-wave European fiction. With all the stark simplicity of a fractured fairy tale, the trilogy tells the story of twin brothers, Claus and Lucas, locked in an agonizing bond that becomes a gripping allegory of the forces that have divided "brothers" in much of Europe since World War II. Kristof's postmodern saga begins with The Notebook, in which the brothers are children, lost in a country torn apart by conflict, who must learn every trick of evil and cruelty merely to survive. In The Proof, Lucas is challenging to prove his own identity and the existence of his missing brother, a defector to the "other side." The Third Lie, which closes the trilogy, is a biting parable of Eastern and Western Europe today and a deep exploration into the nature of identity, storytelling, and the truths and untruths that lie at the heart of them all. "Stark and haunting." - The San Francisco Chronicle; "A vision of considerable depth and complexity, a powerful portrait of the nobility and perversity of the human heart." - The Christian Science Monitor.
Translated into the most simple English, I finished the whole book in 4 days! But this is one of the most thought-provoking book I've read so far. The beginning was cruel, chaotic, hellish...but when you start the 3rd part, the true tragic story hidden behind start to unravel itself, leaving a sad bitter trail in my head...
评分邂逅:2017.12.7.; 旅程:2017.12.7.-2017.12.7.; 地点:坡; 主要是看第二部《二人证据》。即使读到了阵阵温度,也仍感受到阵阵凉意。到了第三谎言,简直就是难过得说不出话了。
评分第一部真是好。战争背景下的生活乱象,孩子们从小孩蜕变成了大人。第二部也好,无非爱与分离。何等亲切的阅读体验。第三部没太明白为什么这样写——可是某些情节总是回到我脑子里面,应该是影响我最深
评分Sad stories,但是却是大爱
评分暗黑童话
