The Noise of Time 2025 pdf epub mobi 电子书
这本书的叙事方式,对我而言是比较陌生的。我记得大概在GXJ的一些片断里有过这样的感觉,一种游离在事件之外冷眼旁观,以一种思想演进的方式来推进情节。 反而前苏联的历史背景显得模糊了。 肖斯塔科维奇这样一个人物,和我想象的处在那样政治高压的情况下的人的表现不太一样。...

评分借到这本书到读完,不到两小时。我在肯德基读它,在地铁上读它,在老肖自己弹奏的钢琴三重奏中读它。 德米特里·肖斯塔科维奇人生中的三个致命时刻,三个他在内心死去过一次的时刻。 他带着行李箱守在电梯口等待被逮捕的时刻。 他在纽约遭受质询,道德和自尊被凌迟处死的时刻。...
评分《见证》风行一时以后,对这个世界而言,肖斯塔科维奇还有秘密吗?朱利安•巴恩斯要以肖斯塔科维奇为主角写一本小说,等于给自己设置了至少两道屏障。一是,肖斯塔科维奇的音乐懂的人少但他的故事知道的人不少,小说的基本创作手法就是虚构,用真实的历史人物做主角,虚构还...

A compact masterpiece dedicated to the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich: Julian Barnes’s first novel since his best-selling, Man Booker Prize–winning The Sense of an Ending.
In 1936, Shostakovich, 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), Shostakovich 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 Shostakovich’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.
Tragedies in hindsight look like farces. Sarcasm was irony which had lost its soul. A soul could be destroyed in one of three ways: by what others did to you; by what others made you do to yourself; and by what you voluntarily chose to do to yourself.
评分准备三刷。Barnes is at his best when writing about artists.
评分本来非常期待朱利安巴恩斯和肖斯塔科维奇的组合,但这种威权统治下艺术家的身不由己和挣扎,对于中国人来说实在太见怪不怪了,巴金老舍郭沫若都够写出一堆来。这样的题材适合更锋利尖锐的作家,遗憾巴恩斯并没有做出让人惊艳的发掘和发挥,除了重温一下本已熟悉的传记材料,并无多少回味思考余地。
评分It's pure heartbreak from start to finish the story. In doing other reading about Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, I can honestly say I can't say where the real story ends and Barnes' fictional version takes over. Even those familiar with Shostakovich's life story, it's as if I'm finding it for the first time and my hear breaks all over again.
评分在山里读完,把书永远留在那里。耳朵里没有音乐却渗满旋律。希望下一个路过hut的人也会喜欢。
