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.

不管怎么解读这个故事，《耶稣的童年》都带着一种隐喻从始至终存在，即便我们不去过于纠缠库切像在其他小说中叠加和强调的那种隐喻，也会对这样一个表面上古怪和建立在虚构时空里的故事多少有点意犹未尽或者似懂非懂。如果说库切是要在《青春》、《童年》、《耻》和《等待野蛮...  

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...  

五十多岁的西蒙，带着五岁的、与父母失散的孩子大卫，来到一座叫诺维拉的城市。孩子看上去很普通，半闭着眼睛，允吸手指头，跟着西蒙在诺维拉开始新生活。这是一座奇异的城市，在这里，每个人都没有过去，一切都要从头再来。西蒙在难民安置中心分得一套小房子，又在码头...  

用户评价

weird twofold way to conceive the Jesus character with social contemplation intertexture.

啊真是大写的Boring……Done with 库切。

库切一贯的冷峻简练。不妨看做一个关于乌托邦的思想实验，阔大而精密。

things... and stuff

这一本读完了没啥感觉，有印象但是没有触动
