The Lemon Table 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书
柠檬桌子十一篇小说两天读完。对于我喜欢的小说从来的不忍淬读。但无感的小说总是希望快快读完好进入下一本书。 本书总体评价三星半。 作者并不是我所熟悉的英国当代作家,似乎我对英国当代作家一无所知。毕竟我也不是专业的把读书当成工作的人,也不是一个热爱读书渗透到骨血...

In his widely acclaimed new collection of stories, Julian Barnes addresses what is perhaps the most poignant aspect of the human condition: growing old.
The characters in The Lemon Table are facing the ends of their lives–some with bitter regret, others with resignation, and others still with defiant rage. Their circumstances are just as varied as their responses. In 19th-century Sweden, three brief conversations provide the basis for a lifetime of longing. In today’s England, a retired army major heads into the city for his regimental dinner–and his annual appointment with a professional lady named Babs. Somewhere nearby, a devoted wife calms (or perhaps torments) her ailing husband by reading him recipes.
In stories brimming with life and our desire to hang on to it one way or another, Barnes proves himself by turns wise, funny, clever, and profound–a writer of astonishing powers of empathy and invention.
Julian Barnes在这本短篇小说集里展现了他作为小说家的通透感性,作为英国人的腹黑犀利,以及作为一个老年人对于衰老,死亡和回忆的重新解读,当我们年轻时我们总是无法也不屑想象死亡和年迈的可怖和可悲,而当我们一点点接近这个生命唯一确定的真相时,我们又不敢想象其可怖可悲。Barnes在这本集子里谈了那些只是当时已惘然的遗憾,那些岁岁年年人不同的错愕,那些关于年老带来的羞辱,尴尬,和悔恨,也展现了他对音乐,文学,历史,植物学,婚姻和生活琐碎的理解。The highest form of music is silence just lie life: it comes from and returns to silence.
评分Sentimental Lemon.
评分I’m the adopted daughter of your words. They all harken back to a time where hope was still, in a tragic kind of way, possible.
