用在这本书上的时间并不算多,但感受始终在变化。起初我大概跟所有随意地想去评论什么的人一样想用“有趣”来概括自己的一切观感,但是嘲讽的情绪埋伏在草率的心情之下,而这也恰恰是作者在写作这本书时所采取的基本态度,建立于个人智力愉悦感之上的揶揄,因为你不能期待这样...
评分汤永宽译本的前言中误将巴恩斯当作因《福楼拜的鹦鹉》(1984)和《英格兰,英格兰》(1998)两获布克奖。实际上,他只是两获布克奖提名,当年获得布克奖的分别是阿妮塔•布鲁克娜的《旅馆》(1984)和伊恩•麦克尤恩的《阿姆斯特丹》(1998)。在布克奖历史上两度获奖的作...
评分15年读过巴恩斯的10又1/2世界史,当时就觉得巴恩斯的写作风格很特别,今年终于有时间把他最有名的一本书看完了。果然比世界史更杂糅,但也更有趣。也许是因为福楼拜本人比圣经更有意思吧,也许更因为作者对福楼拜比对圣经更有感情,因为这是“一个小说家写给另一个小说家的旷世...
评分后现代小说的典范,互文、杂糅、戏仿。 从小说的题目而言,再到其具体内容来看,从叙述的节奏推进而言,福楼拜的鹦鹉被悬置了,在开头提到没有多久后,鹦鹉就消失了,直到最后一章再出现了。 故事本身已经不重要了,重要的是形式本身?真实与虚构的界限已经被混杂了。 打破了原...
评分19世纪的伟大法国作家居斯塔夫·福楼拜(1821-1880)以其不朽名作《包法利夫人》、《情感教育》、《萨朗波》等现代小说闻名,亦以其书信闻名。福楼拜一生书信往来频繁,具有重要的美学价值和文献价值,其中的真知灼见惠及后世众多文坛巨匠。由《通信集》我们获知,福楼拜的主要...

Which of two stuffed parrots was the inspiration for one of Flaubert's greatest stories? Why did the master keep changing the colour of Emma Bovary's eyes? And why should it matter so much to Geoffrey Braithwaite, a retired doctor haunted by a private secret? In "Flaubert's Parrot", Julian Barnes spins out a multiple mystery of obsession and betrayal (both scholarly and romantic) and creates an exuberant enquiry into the ways in which art mirrors life and then turns around to shape it.
A inspiring fictional non-fiction!
评分So full of cranky yet plausible maxims, amuse and sadden me. The religion of despair, to remain calm while gazing down into the black pit at the feet, stoicism and pessimism. Happiness lies in the imagination not the act, first in anticipation later in memory, the secret of happiness is to be happy already, sadness is a vice. Sigh...
评分très bon bouquin
评分很机智
评分感觉history genre就是巴恩斯生涯关键词没跑了。这书这么写也是蛮考验作家把控力的。上一章还在怒斥读者作家没必要按照你们所想去生活,下一章就写Flaubert其实也是这么个人,对Colet管太宽;上一章说Colet哪儿哪儿不好,末了说或许我该站在她角度写一写,下一章真来一篇Colet的自述……Pure story这章看得人真难受,不仅是I switched her off,医生说truths about life can be framed only when it's too late to make any difference,这让人觉得不管他做什么都是没有用的,而他自己也知道这点。(小津认为说着违心的话才是人之本色,这章里医生说了那么多,没有一句是直白道出“我很难过”的。)
