评分这会是我2017年的最佳书籍 在看这本书期间,刚好自己选了“降临”这部电影来看。说真的,对我这大学生来说,对世界的认知、对爱情的感受加深了很多。就像是整个人的想法都升级了,让自己对人类学语言学有一定的了解和好奇。 而中文版的文字很美,即使里面经常有欢愉性的内容,...

From New England Book Award winner Lily King comes a breathtaking novel about three young ant hropologists of the ‘30’s caught in a passionate love triangle that threatens their bonds, their careers, and, ultimately, their lives.
English anthropologist Andrew Bankson has been alone in the field for several years, studying the Kiona river tribe in the Territory of New Guinea. Haunted by the memory of his brothers’ deaths and increasingly frustrated and isolated by his research, Bankson is on the verge of suicide when a chance encounter with colleagues, the controversial Nell Stone and her wry and mercurial Australian husband Fen, pulls him back from the brink. Nell and Fen have just fled the bloodthirsty Mumbanyo and, in spite of Nell’s poor health, are hungry for a new discovery. When Bankson finds them a new tribe nearby, the artistic, female-dominated Tam, he ignites an intellectual and romantic firestorm between the three of them that burns out of anyone’s control.
Set between two World Wars and inspired by events in the life of revolutionary anthropologist Margaret Mead, Euphoria is an enthralling story of passion, possession, exploration, and sacrifice from accomplished author Lily King.
简单的三角恋的故事,融进了一个人类学研究的背景 --- 上世纪初的时候,一些人来到澳洲,了解那里的部落的生存方式,展现给“文明人” 我不懂人类学,所以那些背景相关的都不吸引我;而故事本身又太简单
评分I loved that Amy Lowell poem when I first read it, how her lover was like red wine at the beginning and then became bread. But that has not happened to me. My loves remain wine to me, yet I become too quickly bread to them.
评分不喜欢 后面一小半看中文
评分2016 Reading List #9 ✓ | 史上最成功的fanfic,哈哈。说正经的,是挺长一段时间以来读到最棒的爱情故事,作者把两位主角的声音把握得很精准,对人类学的讲解也很有意思,细腻的人物刻画读起来是一种享受。只是Fen完全是个villain的形象,是不是把他写得太典型了呀。悲剧结局真是现实的升华,一下就凄美了。
