Following All the Pretty Little Horses in Cormac McCarthy's Border Trilogy is a novel whose force of language is matched only by its breadth of experience and depth of thought. In the bootheel of New Mexico hard on the frontier, Billy and Boyd Parham are just boys in the years before the Second World War, but on the cusp of unimaginable events. First comes a trespassing Indian and the dream of wolves running wild amongst the cattle lately brought onto the plain by settlers - this when all the wisdom of trappers has disappeared along with the trappers themselves. And so Billy sets forth at the age of sixteen on an unwitting journey into the souls of boys and animals and men. Having trapped a she-wolf he would restore to the mountains of Mexico, he is long gone and returns to find everything he left behind transformed utterly in his absence. Except his kid brother, Boyd, with whom he strikes out yet again to reclaim what is theirs - thus crossing into "that antique gaze from whence there could be no way back forever." What they find instead, singly and together, is in extraordinary panoply of fiestas and circuses, dogs and horses and hawks, pilgrims and revolutionaries, grand haciendas and forlorn cantinas, bandits and gypsies and roving tribes, a young girl alone on the road, a mystery in the mountain wilds, and a myth in the making. And in this wider world they fight a war as rageful as the one neither, in the end, will join up for back home. One brother finds his destiny, while the other arrives only at his fate. An essential novel by any measure, and the transfixing middle passage of Cormac McCarthy's ongoing trilogy, The Crossing is luminous and appalling, a book that touches, stops, and starts the heart and mind at once.

超五星推薦。閱讀進入到中段,方始認識到這部小說的偉大。作為一部牛仔版的《堂吉訶德》,小說展示瞭少年比利的漫遊,其漫遊在身體和精神兩方麵,被不斷推嚮忍耐的極限,直到小說末尾,當比利抱頭痛哭之時,漫遊纔告結束:少年終於成人瞭,他知道瞭人無法抗拒命運的重重擊打。...
評分就這樣行走於路上 遇見這些人 聽著那些故事 然後穿越過整個墨西哥 行於路上 聽著故事 感受人生 我喜歡那單純的遊走和善良的人們 原來 在很久很久以前人們是如此的善良 有些人穿的鞋比你走的路還多 有些人本身經曆過的事情比你聽過的故事還多 人與馬 穿越行於路上 ...
評分《穿越》具有一種巨大的富有悲劇性的力量,是一本震撼靈魂的小說。——《華盛頓郵報》 很不幸的,我讀到瞭《邊境三部麯》的第二部《穿越》:遺憾我為什麼沒有看到它的第一步《駿馬》。不過按照譯者前言,第二部比第一部更加豐滿、更深刻,它在美國的德首版初印就超過瞭二十萬...
評分無論從故事主題,語言,文筆,風土人情,人物刻畫,動物刻畫皆達到近乎完美的地步,偶早在05年就讀過瞭,近來又藉著看《路》的機會重溫瞭一遍,可以說是這幾年看過的印象最深的一本小說,也是唯一一本讓我感動得流下眼淚的小說,比利.帕勒姆的故事讓人心碎,喜歡西部小說,喜歡...
