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...
评分为了肖斯塔科维奇读的 其实借肖氏之口表达很多自己的观点 是文学价值高于记录性质的。 “什么能对抗时间的噪音?只有我们自己内心的音乐,关于我们存在的音乐,有些人将它转化成了真正的音乐。几十年后,如果这样的音乐足够强大、真实、纯净,能淹没时间的噪音,它就能够转化为...
评分这本书的叙事方式,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...

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.
评分第一次读这样的文体,有些不适应,会找巴恩斯其他的书来看
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。
