我想说的是,不用再做什么书评了 有点类似于一件纯粹的艺术品,你把它买到手,多翻翻。 这就够了。 评论太短是吧。 你喜欢约翰列侬吗?喜欢偶尔哼哼披头士吗?喜欢随手涂鸦吗? 啊哈。
评分他是约翰•列侬也钦佩的简笔画家,他是写《夏洛的网》的EB•怀特也称羡的童话作家,他就是詹姆斯•瑟伯。动漫电影《鬼妈妈》原著者尼尔•盖曼从小就爱读詹姆斯•瑟伯的《13只钟》,四十多年后他依然盛赞此书,他评价说:“这不是一个童话,不是一首诗,也不是寓言、...
评分詹姆斯•瑟伯的童话充满着瑰丽的幻想和斑斓的色彩,无论是王子的挑战、公主的争夺、还是困难重重的冒险,常规的童话元素几乎一应俱全,而融合这一切的关键则是无处不在的神奇魔法。 美国作家托尔金在《童话文学观》中曾经提到,童话故事属于幻想创造的“第二世界”。它除了...

Once upon a time, in a gloomy castle on a lonely hill, where there were thirteen clocks that wouldn’t go, there lived a cold, aggressive Duke, and his niece, the Princess Saralinda. She was warm in every wind and weather, but he was always cold. His hands were as cold as his smile, and almost as cold as his heart. He wore gloves when he was asleep, and he wore gloves when he was awake, which made it difficult for him to pick up pins or coins or the kernels of nuts, or to tear the wings from nightingales.
So begins James Thurber’s sublimely revamped fairy tale, The 13 Clocks , in which a wicked Duke who imagines he has killed time, and the Duke’s beautiful niece, for whom time seems to have run out, both meet their match, courtesy of an enterprising and very handsome prince in disguise. Readers young and old will take pleasure in this tale of love forestalled but ultimately fulfilled, admiring its upstanding hero (”He yearned to find in a far land the princess of his dreams, singing as he went, and possibly slaying a dragon here and there”) and unapologetic villain (”We all have flaws,” the Duke said. “Mine is being wicked”), while wondering at the enigmatic Golux, the mysterious stranger whose unpredictable interventions speed the story to its necessarily happy end.
