Published for the very first time in its own volume, Tolkien’s remarkable tale about a painter whose obsession with detail prevents him from finishing his great work.
Niggle is a painter. Not a very successful one, partly because he has so many other things to do. For some time he has been obsessed with one particular canvas – a curious picture of a tree with a vast landscape stretching out behind it. The painting keeps getting bigger and bigger, but Niggle has a journey to make.
In 1939 Tolkien was despairing of ever bringing his great work The Lord of the Rings to a conclusion. One morning he woke up with the story Leaf by Niggle complete in his mind and wrote it down. This poignant story, about an artist on a curious journey, is often seen as an allegory of the writer’s own creative process and life.
Published to coincide with a new touring stage production of the story, this is the first time the story has been published in its own volume, enabling readers to savour one of Tolkien’s most elegant, haunting and least-known short stories.
看完大概懂了一些你想要的。也许要一生去寻找。我的图书馆是我的树,我已经等到了。建筑师先生,你愿意和我一起修建我的图书馆吗?
评分薄得天理难容……
评分太棒了。写给所有孤独者的小册子,like the tonic, a few drops to be taken in water from spring. 所谓文学、绘画等一切无用之物的意义阐释,it works wonders in some cases. 有一句很美的修辞: He saw exactly the way in which to treat that shining spray which framed the distant vision of the moutain.
评分幾次熱淚盈眶,雖然鄰近結尾處覺得有點不盡人意。“Then suddenly Niggle felt ashamed. To hear that he was considered a case for Gentle Treatment overwhelmed him, and made him blush in the dark.”
评分太棒了,完美的造梦文学,阅读过程如同做梦,读完如梦初醒,托尔金真的很喜欢景色景物的描写
