Lincoln in the Bardo 电子书读后感

评分☆☆☆☆☆

阅读过程中，我常常想起《聊斋志异》，说来惭愧，聊斋我没有通读过，虽然我的网名就来自聊斋。此书能让人有聊斋之感，除了都是鬼在做主角，翻译占了很大的功劳。我已经太久没看到过如此地道的汉语翻译，甚至可以说很多地方都特别典雅。翻译何颖怡说，因为此书所描写时代为林肯...

It just so happened that the other day a colleague's father had passed away and I didn't attend the funeral. That kind of place always gives me the chill, with no disrespect. I think it's because I've never faced the loss of a loved one, I can't feel the pa...

“And as the sun came up, we prayed, each within ourselves, our usual prayer: To still be here when the sun next set. And discover, in those first moments of restored movement, that we had again been granted the great mother-gift: Time. More time.” 用死亡...

Loved the poignancy of the first quarter of this book, and amazed at how well the chapters comprised of quotations had worked. Tonally compassionate with his signature breezy dark humor. Saunders paints his refreshing metaphors with poetic tenderness and sw...

Lincoln in the Bardo 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书图书描述

The long-awaited first novel from the author of Tenth of December: a moving and original father-son story featuring none other than Abraham Lincoln, as well as an unforgettable cast of supporting characters, living and dead, historical and invented

February 1862. The Civil War is less than one year old. The fighting has begun in earnest, and the nation has begun to realize it is in for a long, bloody struggle. Meanwhile, President Lincoln’s beloved eleven-year-old son, Willie, lies upstairs in the White House, gravely ill. In a matter of days, despite predictions of a recovery, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. “My poor boy, he was too good for this earth,” the president says at the time. “God has called him home.” Newspapers report that a grief-stricken Lincoln returns, alone, to the crypt several times to hold his boy’s body.

From that seed of historical truth, George Saunders spins an unforgettable story of familial love and loss that breaks free of its realistic, historical framework into a supernatural realm both hilarious and terrifying. Willie Lincoln finds himself in a strange purgatory where ghosts mingle, gripe, commiserate, quarrel, and enact bizarre acts of penance. Within this transitional state—called, in the Tibetan tradition, the bardo—a monumental struggle erupts over young Willie’s soul.

Lincoln in the Bardo is an astonishing feat of imagination and a bold step forward from one of the most important and influential writers of his generation. Formally daring, generous in spirit, deeply concerned with matters of the heart, it is a testament to fiction’s ability to speak honestly and powerfully to the things that really matter to us. Saunders has invented a thrilling new form that deploys a kaleidoscopic, theatrical panorama of voices to ask a timeless, profound question: How do we live and love when we know that everything we love must end?
