Philip Michael Ondaatje, CC FRSL (born 12 September 1943), is a Sri Lanka-born Canadian poet, fiction writer, essayist, novelist, editor and filmmaker. He is the recipient of multiple literary awards such as the Governor General's Award, the Giller Prize, the Booker Prize, and the Prix Médicis étranger. Ondaatje is also an Officer of the Order of Canada, recognizing him as one of Canada's most renowned living authors. Ondaatje's literary career began with his poetry in 1967, publishing The Dainty Monsters, and then in 1970 the critically acclaimed The Collected Works of Billy the Kid. However, he is more recently recognized for his nationally and internationally successful novel The English Patient (1992), which was adapted into a film in 1996. In 2018, Ondaatje won the Golden Man Booker Prize for The English Patient. In addition to his literary writing, Ondaatje has been an important force in "fostering new Canadian writing" with two decades commitment to Coach House Press (around 1970-90), and his editorial credits on Canadian literary projects like the journal Brick, and the Long Poem Anthology (1979), among others.
The final curtain is closing on the Second World War, and Hana, a nurse, stays behind in an abandoned Italian villa to tend to her only remaining patient. Rescued by Bedouins from a burning plane, he is English, anonymous, damaged beyond recognition and haunted by his memories of passion and betrayal. The only clue Hana has to his past is the one thing he clung on to through the fire? a copy of The Histories by Herodotus, covered with hand-written notes describing a painful and ultimately tragic love affair.

認識《英國病人》,首先是明格拉的電影。看拉爾夫·費恩斯緊鎖的眉頭裏還含著沙,剋裏斯汀·斯科特·托馬斯故意為之的冷漠。讀起原著,我願意再次投進那個茫茫不可知的聖潔沙漠。 故事發生在二戰末期,戰地護士漢娜負責照顧一個全身燒焦麵目不分、有著英國口音的病人。這名...

評分先看瞭電影,如今情節已經模糊,隻記得和看《教父》的感覺很像,前麵漫長的鋪墊讓人有些不耐,看著看著,不知在哪個點就沉淪瞭,如書中所言,被“拽入”那口“記憶之井”,越潛越深,不願齣來。 一兩年後再讀小說,又是很不同的體驗。 小說的語言非常美,想象力四溢的芬芳恰...

英文很美,和整本小說的主題一樣,帶有現在已經罕見的舊大陸的老派優雅。雖然翻譯們已經盡力瞭,但是原文的美感仍然沒有被完全地發掘。然後我是聽的ralph fiennes的朗誦版,實在是太銷魂瞭。
