童年是什么?有时候是缺失记忆,有时候是重新构建,有时候是堆砌梦境,不论今后的人生会变成怎样,它在心底,一直牢牢盘踞。 “我们一旦长大成人,儿时就变得像另外一个国度”。在这里,懵懂的喜乐,懵懂的悲伤,终究在离开这个国度以后用后面的人生来解释偿还。 故事的背景是1...
评分在民国梦一度盛行又开始被解构的当下,读这本书还有点意思。 1.最重要的是Christopher这个角色的理想主义和软弱、中立和冷漠。 作为一个理想主义者,当他面对庸碌的逐利之徒时,明明是后者更叫人恶心,前者反而总是显得无理取闹和幼稚。这一点在他回到上海之后尤其明显,穿越...
评分 评分 评分看完《上海孤儿》,毫无疑问这是个并不紧密的故事,暗线的发生一直以孩童时期的主人公叙述道来,碎片式的记忆间插在七个章节里,实际形成双重记忆。时隔久远的上海和战争正在爆发的上海,一切情节上的漏洞和虚弱被时空的远距离模糊掉,战争的背景使其从观感上烟雾弥漫,...

From the Booker Prize-winning, bestselling author of Remains of the Day comes this stunning work of soaring imagination.
Born in early-twentieth-century Shanghai, Banks was orphaned at the age of nine after the separate disappearances of his parents. Now, more than twenty years later, he is a celebrated figure in London society; yet the investigative expertise that has garnered him fame has done little to illuminate the circumstances of his parents' alleged kidnappings. Banks travels to the seething, labyrinthine city of his memory in hopes of solving the mystery of his own, painful past, only to find that war is ravaging Shanghai beyond recognition-and that his own recollections are proving as difficult to trust as the people around him.
Masterful, suspenseful and psychologically acute, When We Were Orphans offers a profound meditation on the shifting quality of memory, and the possibility of avenging one’s past.
结果相当喜欢这本书的最后几章 仔细想想觉得莱总BvS里的一句台词很适合用到这里 the magical thinking of orphan boys
评分我可以打兩分嗎?
评分没中文版内味儿啊…
评分前三分之二写得很好,最后一部分莫名的编造感很重。但更大的问题是,一个外国人对二十世纪早期的中国和中国人的呈现,似乎让人不太舒服。
评分Ishiguro's ambitious attempt at an epic often fails to convince, but his forte lies in capturing the unspeakable. In resolving a mystery, in negotiating through traumatic memories, Ishiguro lays bare the abysmal gap between reality and imagination in individuals whose lives have been torn to pieces in a clash of empires.
