For years, Nadezhda and Vera, two Ukrainian sisters, raised in England by their refugee parents, have had as little as possible to do with each other - and they have their reasons. But now they find they'd better learn how to get along, because since their mother's death their aging father has been sliding into his second childhood, and an alarming new woman has just entered his life. Valentina, a bosomy young synthetic blonde from the Ukraine, seems to think their father is much richer than he is, and she is keen that he leave this world with as little money to his name as possible.If Nadazhda and Vera don't stop her, no one will. But separating their addled and annoyingly lecherous dad from his new love will prove to be no easy feat - Valentina is a ruthless pro and the two sisters swiftly realize that they are mere amateurs when it comes to ruthlessness. As Hurricane Valentina turns the family house upside down, old secrets come falling out, including the most deeply buried one of them all, from the War, the one that explains much about why Nadazhda and Vera are so different. In the meantime, oblivious to it all, their father carries on with the great work of his dotage, a grand history of the tractor.

第245頁,倒數第二行—— “我女兒瓦倫蒂娜。她是個社會工作者。” 雖然說這裏麵的名字不怎麼記,但是他女兒的名字不應該叫“娜迪婭”或者“娜傑日達”麼?“瓦倫蒂娜”不是他那個大乳烏剋蘭女郎的名字麼? 我倒還真是因為書名字麵上的含義對這本書感興趣的,沒想到隻是一部小...
評分在兩個平胸女兒妒嫉大胸繼母的勾心鬥角中笑著看完瞭這本書。沒有期待中的那麼好,也沒有想象中的那麼爛。閤上書,想象著嚮太陽敬禮的畫麵,確乎感到一絲溫暖。 人生本來就是由無數的樂與苦而組成。那包括對兔子的肺吹氣來觀察生命是怎麼呼吸的,那包括一傢人醉倒在地窖裏的自...

評分《烏剋蘭拖拉機簡史》,看見書名,一定會嚇一跳,這是機械史還是小說?沒錯,這是小說。而且是獲得瞭以為喜劇小說而設的“波靈格大眾伍德豪斯奬”(Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize)的作品,同時也入選2005年的布剋奬。 故事開始於八十四歲父親要與三十六歲“波提切利的齣...
評分“我母親去世兩年後,我父親與一位離過婚的妖艷迷人的烏剋蘭金發女郎墜入愛河。他時年八十四歲,而她三十六歲。”《烏剋蘭拖拉機簡史》在一派熱騰騰、鬧烘烘的喜劇氛圍中開場。隨著老夫少妻的奇異跨國婚戀而來的是一種頗似鬧劇的現實書寫:兩個失和多年的女兒薇拉與娜傑日達,...
圖書標籤: 小說 烏剋蘭 MarinaLewycka 英國 英文小說 原版 外國文學 英文
看瞭前10頁,so far so good. 趕我不惑的時候, 也就老父親的一般等價物寫點什麼。
評分昨天我半夜終於看完瞭這本書。過去的荒謬配上喜劇的外衣讓人更加心酸瞭。“活下去就是勝利”
評分不錯的小說,沒有成為那種內容壓倒形式的政治小說。直接讀英文原版會好很多,有很多滑稽的語言(主要是Valentina和父親的蹩腳英文)中文是很難翻譯齣那種韻味的,比如“you bebby father”“you clever clever engineer""you living dead, you graveyard escapee"。Nadia描寫父親的bosom fondle著實很搞笑。非常推薦。
評分記憶會幫人保護自己,記住相對的幸福,改造和柔和那些殘酷的事實。在老師推薦下讀的這本書。一個傢庭內部的支撐力凝聚力,經曆過變故纔被塑造的世界觀,個人的堅持和執拗,都在這本書裏。把現實和記憶融閤的超好,寫作的方式又生動有趣,好看極瞭
評分傢屬想翻譯這個……非一般力氣活啊……英式幽默加上烏剋蘭英語……
