我被库切《耶稣的童年》这本书的题目吸引住了,只是无意中一瞥,但本应该忙于其他工作的我还是立即买了这本书来读。读到三分之一的时候想弃书来着,一种说不清道不明的情绪让我一直读完。本来不太习惯写未形成较成熟想法的书评,但这次破例想先留下一点思考。 我倾向于认为库...
评分有人说,库切的《耶稣的童年》名虽如此,却与耶稣的童年没什么关系。我读完了,感觉不仅有关系,而且关系相当之大,假如你手旁有本《圣经》,不妨参详一二。 首先书中小童的名字,被某国的收留机构随意起了个编号似的名字——大卫。大卫是谁?约瑟的先祖。约瑟是谁?木匠,耶...
评分在库切的作品列里,《耶稣的童年》显得十分正单纯。这种单纯源于舍去了许多眼花缭乱的叙事技巧,同样更深层的缘由在于库切对干净洗练的语言不动声色地把握。回想一下移民澳洲后库切完成的作品,《凶年纪事》中那种议论与虚构文体的杂糅,自传性作品《夏日》中以旁观者的身份书...

After crossing oceans, a man and a boy arrive in a new land. Here they are each assigned a name and an age, and held in a camp in the desert while they learn Spanish, the language of their new country. As Simon and David they make their way to the relocation centre in the city of Novilla, where officialdom treats them politely but not necessarily helpfully.
Simon finds a job in a grain wharf. The work is unfamiliar and backbreaking, but he soon warms to his stevedore comrades, who during breaks conduct philosophical dialogues on the dignity of labour, and generally take him to their hearts.
Now he must set about his task of locating the boy's mother. Though like everyone else who arrives in this new country he seems to be washed clean of all traces of memory, he is convinced he will know her when he sees her. And indeed, while walking with the boy in the countryside Simon catches sight of a woman he is certain is the mother, and persuades her to assume the role.
David's new mother comes to realise that he is an exceptional child, a bright, dreamy boy with highly unusual ideas about the world. But the school authorities detect a rebellious streak in him and insist he be sent to a special school far away. His mother refuses to yield him up, and it is Simon who must drive the car as the trio flees across the mountains.
The Childhood of Jesus is a profound, beautiful and continually surprising novel from a very great writer.
天堂说西班牙 -- 库切最近出的"Jesus"三部曲的最后一部The Death of Jesus最先发行的也不是英语而是西班牙语版。这种小说超世的仙气,最近还是在李翊云的Where Reasons End 里才读到。
评分过年两天一口气读完了…不明年纪的老人和小孩踏上了新的大陆…书中景、物都模糊化了,突出来的是几个颇具哲学思辨能力的人。关于妥协…关于循规蹈矩 关于有所“追求” …喜欢库切时不时抛出的对生命、世界形式探索的自问
评分把David和Jesus比附在一起的努力(building an allegory)就像2+1=3一样是充满风险的。Novilla很像科耶夫设想的末日审判之后的世界:人完美地变成了理性的动物,动物变成了能自由自在/顺应本性进行新陈代谢的机器 ← 似乎是个逆转版本的《宗教大法官》。Jesus-David代表了普遍人性和难以理解的神性的结合,不通过抽象思考而是在物的singularity中发现totality,他和他的家庭是对理性至上的世界的挑战。除了对圣经和堂吉诃德的指涉之外,自传三部曲,慢人,科斯特洛甚至耻里都有JC的童年的影子。
评分人生循环往复,我们理所当然地按照长久以来的教化生活,却很少停下来反思,我们认为对的,就是对的吗?那些我们视为异类的是不是才是真正正常、理智,且清醒的呢?理想世界真的存在吗?世外桃源就是最完美的地方吗?当下的问题和挣扎到远方就会消失无影踪吗?带着这些追寻,他们再一次远走他乡。
评分之前忘了……图书馆都要罚款了:(
