Lois Lowry’s The Giver is the quintessential dystopian novel, followed by its remarkable companions, Gathering Blue , Messenge r, and Son .
When Jonas turns 12, he is singled out to receive special training from The Giver. Now, it’s time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back.
在Jo的推荐下开始看young adults了hhh……“But the moment passed and was followed by an urge, a need, a passionate yearning to share the warmth with the one person left for him to love.”
评分不算一口气看完,但是是第一本英语小说那么有兴趣地读完。结局开放式,但是有点想哭,现实好残忍……
评分有点无聊。。。
评分看的是Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 出版的。小说本身感觉跟饥饿游戏或divergent有点像(只看过电影),只不过后者多强调专制而前者在说乌托邦环境下强调“the sameness”而失去生活的多彩等等……
评分社区中的人们没有感情,生活连黑白都不是,是灰色的,所有的东西似乎都可以用一抹影子来替代。因为畏惧悲伤,孤独,所以连快乐幸福的权利也放弃。抽离了人性,我们与机器没有什么两样。但是正是这样可以维持一个有秩序的社会。其实根本就没有什么elsewhere,小说中整个人类世界都是模糊的。在我看来,最后Jonas和Gabriel应该是去了天堂,而最后看见五光十色的世界就像卖火柴的小女孩最后看到的祖母和圣诞大餐一样。 感觉the giver到后半部分的定位有点乱,或者是我读得太糊涂。 不管怎样,这是别人家的儿童读物。 看完书之后看到自己的影子突然感觉有点奇怪,脑子里全是天呐我是人类头发还这么长这是一副怎样的躯壳我是怎样的存在啊啊啊好神奇然后天呐你在想什么。这大概就是阅读的后劲儿吧。
