JOSE SARAMAGO is one of the most acclaimed writers in the world today. He is the author of numerous novels, including All the Names, Blindness, and The Cave. In 1998 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Nobel Prize-winner Jose Saramago's brilliant new novel poses the question -- what happens when the grim reaper decides there will be no more death? On the first day of the new year, no one dies. This of course causes consternation among politicians, religious leaders, morticians, and doctors. Among the general public, on the other hand, there is initially celebration--flags are hung out on balconies, people dance in the streets. They have achieved the great goal of humanity: eternal life. Then reality hits home--families are left to care for the permanently dying, life-insurance policies become meaningless, and funeral parlors are reduced to arranging burials for pet dogs, cats, hamsters, and parrots.Death sits in her chilly apartment, where she lives alone with scythe and filing cabinets, and contemplates her experiment: What if no one ever died again? What if she, death with a small "d, " became human and were to fall in love?

評分死亡是一件猝不及防的事情,今年年初時,爹爹就是這樣去世瞭。 整個一年中,我除瞭在悲傷中懷念爹爹外,便開始一次次地思考生命,我還是不明白,怎麼突然間就感覺到人的生命就這麼脆弱這麼短暫呢?爹爹隻是在夜裏睡覺時翻瞭下身,就突發中風,然後在醫院強撐瞭十來天後,終於沒...
評分 評分如果我們考慮到人性中巨大的黑暗麵存活能力,那麼沒有什麼是不可能的。年紀很大的爺爺,因為吃飯哆嗦,食物總是會掉在桌上,可憐的老人並不是不顧兒子兒媳的警告,而是力不從心,遭受挨罵的時候,反而更加顫抖。當兒子下決心結束這一令人不愉快的現象時,給瞭父親一隻木碗,讓...

評分蛹破繭而齣算metamorphosis還是死亡的部分-That's a very fine-sounding word, full of promises and certainties, you say metamorphosis and move on, it seems you don’t understand that words are the labels we stick on things, not the things themselves, you’ll never know what the things are really like, nor even what their real names are. 最後death第一次知道狗趴在腿上什麼感覺 可愛!
