Paolo Giordano was born in Turin in 1982. He is working on a doctorate in particle physics. The Solitude of Prime Numbers is his first novel. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
A stunning debut novel about the intertwined destinies of two friends brought together by childhood tragedy.
A three-million-copy Italian bestseller and winner of that country’s prestigious Premio Strega award.
A prime number is inherently a solitary thing: it can only be divided by itself, or by one: it never truly fits with another. Alice and Mattia, too, move on their own axis, alone with their personal tragedies. As a child, Alice’s overbearing father drove her first to a terrible skiing accident, and then to anorexia. When she meets Mattia she recognizes a kindred, tortured spirit, and Mattia reveals to Alice his terrible secret: that as a boy he abandoned his mentally-disabled twin sister in a park to go to a party, and when he returned, she was nowhere to be found.
These two irreversible episodes mark Alice and Mattia’s lives for ever, and as they grow into adulthood their destinies seem intertwined: they are divisible only by themselves and each other. But the shadow of the lost twin haunts their relationship, until a chance sighting by Alice of a woman who could be Mattia’s sister forces a lifetime of secret emotion to the surface.
A meditation on loneliness and love, The Solitude of Prime Numbers asks, can we ever truly be whole when we’re in love with another? And when Mattia is asked to choose between human love and his professional love — of mathematics — which will make him more complete? --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

此時此刻,再看見《質數的孤獨》(The Solitude of Prime Numbers)這樣的字眼,或多或少會影射到自己。 Alice與事業成功的丈夫結婚多年卻依然不孕。她討厭自己,討厭永遠的刻在自己下腹上的那朵紫羅蘭。丟不掉的童年甩不脫的記憶讓她虛脫,剩下的力量隻能選擇拒絕吃飯,讓體內...
評分 評分書下午一點半送到,四點鍾讀完,是近年來讀過的為數不多的有著流暢閱讀體驗的小說。 從小我就有這樣一種感覺:所謂的“怪人”之間往往存在某種惺惺相惜的氣場,即使談話不多,也會在頃刻之間熟悉彼此,他們之間的交流甚至不需要太多語言,有些話想說而不必說,便是真理。 無...
評分毛姆在他的小說《月亮和六便士》中有一段關於孤獨的鞭闢入裏的描寫,雖然不是黃鍾大呂但我還是全數照搬過來瞭。毛姆如是說: “我們每個人生在世界上都是孤獨的。每個人都被囚禁在一座鐵塔裏,隻能靠一些符號同彆人傳達自己的思想;而這些符號並沒有共同價...
評分意大利人一直是有趣的,幽默的,印象中的意大利人應該像二戰那樣,像卡爾維諾那樣,像他們的電影一樣,可是無論怎麼樣,都不應該是像質數那樣。保羅的敘述方式是那種不急不緩的娓娓道來,這纔是第三人稱的寫作方式,仿佛與己無關的冷眼旁觀,並不為瞭主人公的開心而喜悅,也不...
圖書標籤: 小說 意大利 愛情 孤獨 英文 人性 PaoloGiordano 質數
構思和概念很好,可是我實在不覺得感人。
評分沒有找到過完整的中文電子版 最後找瞭英文的來讀 真的很高級的言情小說 一生摯愛口袋裏還不是會有新認識的美女的電話 還不是破處瞭早上就偷偷溜走的直男 一生摯愛還不是會嫁醫生 總之人生悲催就是不斷翻滾往前走
評分一對孿生質數終是不能相逢,各自孤獨。可故事太憂傷瞭,我不接受這樣的結局。
評分總覺得英語的語氣比中文軟,所以在故事的敘述層麵更讓人舒服。但顯然中文的詞句比英語精,所以在細節的描述部分會略勝一籌。兩種譯本的對比大大增加瞭我對原著的興趣,不過估計這輩子是沒機會讀(懂)瞭,sigh一個。
評分書沒有書評打動我,年紀大瞭對這些磨磨唧唧的故事都不來感
