《时间的噪音》『英』朱利安·巴恩斯 The Noise of Time— Julian Barnes 译林出版社 ⏱命运。这是一个大词,意味着某些事你无能为力。当生活告诉你,“就这样”,你只好点头,称之为命运。p13 ⏱在一部小说中,他生活中所有的焦虑,他的强大和软弱的混合,他歇斯底里的潜...
评分最近北京的天又渐渐地蓝了起来。前几年,相比小时的记忆,北京的天色显得十分单调。不见了土黄的沙尘暴和湛蓝的秋高气爽、黎明时的鱼肚白或是晴夜里的深湛星空。取而代之的是一年四季的灰色。神似艾略特诗中伦敦的模样,沉重的灰暗空气像是有着生命,用身体挤压着窗扇,也挤压...
评分There is no escaping one's destiny。无人可免受命运摆布。这句话在这本薄薄的小书里出现了不下六次。 那么又是谁掌握着肖斯塔科维奇的命运? 《南海十三郎》里说,真正的天才只有两种结局,不是英年早逝如唐涤生,就是精神失常如南海十三郎。肖斯塔科维奇大概提供了另一种...
评分原文是今年一月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...
评分献给伯特 一个听 一个记 一个饮 ——谚语 这是《时间的噪音》的题记。 无法不听,不能停止记忆,不会停止喝酒。在巴恩斯的笔下,肖斯塔科维奇记下的时代“三和弦”,清除时间的噪音,比所有人所有事活得更长。 置身于所谓的“大时代”,被时间的噪音环绕,并不是什么陌生的、特...

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.
与其说是传记不如说是苍凉咏叹调 用抗拒的悲伤的目光注视着无法选择的人生。片断式记叙的3个leap year 越到结局越让我几欲落泪。只是至少如今 his music would be...just music
评分It was impossible to tell the truth here and live...T T
评分不知道不了解肖斯塔科维奇生平和音乐的人读着是什么感觉。不太懂这样脑补有什么意思。充满了“我刚发现一个大道理必须讲给你听”的感觉。但是要为第190页(Knopf版)对 irony 的观察加一星。
评分强权下的死亡是多么可怖,又是多么仁慈啊,很惊讶作者作为西方人能理解
评分太精彩了。(但还是会坚持喜欢普罗科菲耶夫的)
