今天讲两个故事。第一个故事来自我正在看的一本小说,玛格丽特·阿特伍德的《使女的故事》,讲的是一个叫基列共和国的虚拟国家的事儿,它的前身是美国,如今已经被宗教原教旨主义者控制。基列共和国可不是什么好地方,现代文明有什么,它就否定什么,我们喜欢干什么,...
评分石黑一雄也是看以前恺蒂的介绍,说起来就是他文笔如何如何好,这次读这本小说其实才是第一次看他的一整部作品。果然文笔细腻,文字间有一种洁净感。有种说法叫做“精神上的洁癖”,我怀疑作者就是这类人。 看他写露丝就知道了。在整个故事所笼罩的黑色气氛中,揭示人性弱点和自...
评分Personally I love this book. What I'm not comfortable with is the description given in the rating. Instead of judgemental phrase like '推荐', I prefer something more personal like 'like it' or 'love it'. Now comes to the book. I have to admit, at first I ...
评分 评分很多人大概会觉得跟克隆人有关的一定是科幻小说。 我并不认为这本书可以划入普遍意义上的科幻小说里。 虽然这本书是以未来为背景,但他所描写的日常生活细节与我们并无二样,充满了真实感,而且细腻的感情描写引人入胜。就像是不久以后,就像是几十年以后会发生的事情一样。 小...

From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans, comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human.
Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it.
Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it’s only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is.
Never Let Me Go breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Ishiguro takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date.

评分滿懷期待當自己合上這本書的時候會淚流滿面,而事實卻是被瘧的說不出話也哭不出來。之前忍不住去看預告的時候很沒出息地被一個鏡頭弄的鼻子發酸,眼睛全濕了。石黒一雄用他一貫很平淡的筆調一點點揭開真相,沒有一絲煽情。書中第一人稱的kathy回憶着自己的童年,朋友以及最後的愛,她講述地太過於平靜,好像那些事情根本就沒有那麼殘酷冰冷。這本書後勁很足,開始時會覺得有些無聊瑣碎但讀完后會忍不住再翻到前面看看,腦子裡面想的全是他們的事。看得胸悶到極點但是發泄不出來,他們的人生是制定好的,必須這麼走下去,沒有任何改變的餘地。得知真相后的他們沒有反抗也沒有逃離而是默默地接受,儘管是如此不甘心; 最後的道別平淡地讓人心碎。They won't see you as a human even you have soul
