评分这本书的作者库切是2003年的诺贝尔文学奖得主。库切本身是南非人,在上世纪六十年代初移居英国,后在2002年移居澳大利亚,加入澳洲籍。库切的这本《耶稣的童年》是他探讨新移民问题的‘耶稣三部曲’的第一部。其实我们了解到作者自身不断移民经历的历史可以理解他对这种移民问...

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.
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。
评分以为看到现在已经完全掌握了库切,以为再读只是加深理解,不会再遇到完全未知的领域,但这本书就像Giovanni Bellini的Sacred Allegory -- inexplicable, disturbing, not of this world.
评分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。
评分weird twofold way to conceive the Jesus character with social contemplation intertexture.
评分目前读过的几本库切的作品Disgrace,Age of Iron, Waiting for the Barbarians,Foe,加上这本,我觉得这似乎是其中最不吸引人的一本,在《耻》和《等待野蛮人》中俯拾皆是的那种精准得带些冷酷的叙述在这本书里难觅踪影。
