原文是今年一月The Noise of Time出版时,Julian Barnes在卫报发的小文章。昨天看到上海书评那篇巴恩斯的访谈特激动,里面引用了一些这篇短文的词句,就顺手翻了一下。水平不高,看个参考。(底下三个注释是我自己加的,觉得这样可能更好理解一些。) 本文原文链接: https://w...
评分这是看的巴恩斯第三本书,比起福楼拜的鹦鹉和世界史,这本略微逊色,也许正如作者在后记中说的,他生活在英国自由稳定的政体中,无法感受肖氏在苏联个人独裁政治系统中的恐惧。所以有种隔离感。即使如此,对比当下的中国,读来依旧能感受到肖氏的恐惧和痛苦。我们以为我们所处...
评分 评分When someone repeats the old adage that no one ever put up a statue to a critic, you could always try saying: “Well, Stalin ...” Stalin, of course, was known for rather more than his ear for music, but it would have to be one of the more insulting ironies...

In 1936, Shostakovitch, just thirty, fears for his livelihood and his life. Stalin, hitherto a distant figure, has taken a sudden interest in his work and denounced his latest opera. Now, certain he will be exiled to Siberia (or, more likely, executed on the spot), Shostakovitch reflects on his predicament, his personal history, his parents, various women and wives, his children—and all who are still alive themselves hang in the balance of his fate. And though a stroke of luck prevents him from becoming yet another casualty of the Great Terror, for decades to come he will be held fast under the thumb of despotism: made to represent Soviet values at a cultural conference in New York City, forced into joining the Party and compelled, constantly, to weigh appeasing those in power against the integrity of his music.
Barnes elegantly guides us through the trajectory of Shostakovitch's career, at the same time illuminating the tumultuous evolution of the Soviet Union. The result is both a stunning portrait of a relentlessly fascinating man and a brilliant exploration of the meaning of art and its place in society.
或许我正活在一个很适合读这本书的年代 像做梦一样 刹不住车
评分我还是记不住男主的名字(。
评分Barnes把生活的複雜和精神的苦難描繪得太好。
评分太精彩了。(但还是会坚持喜欢普罗科菲耶夫的)
评分感情分加一星。将集权控制下艺术家的生存状态描绘地淋漓尽致:终其一生,肖斯塔科维奇都害怕伸过来抓取的手。这是一个一辈子被锁链捆绑的人,一个他人口中的懦夫,作者心中的英雄。最后,在所有的荣誉、羞耻、幻想、徒劳、讽刺都貌似远去后,在肉身终将殒灭的这个世界,会不会有一天——只是有一天——让音乐的归音乐?巴恩斯的笔法一直是严肃的,写精神上的苦难,但不消费苦难。三幕剧用了相同的开头,即使都写到恐惧,也是不同层次的心理状态。结尾的月台与开头呼应,「a triad」是嘈杂时代中飘忽的光,读到这里不禁有些泪目。One to hear/One to remember/And one to drink. 最终,还是有人去倾听,思考,铭记。
