To five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire world. It is where he was born and grew up; it's where he lives with his Ma as they learn and read and eat and sleep and play. At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits.
Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it is the prison where Old Nick has held her captive for seven years. Through determination, ingenuity, and fierce motherly love, Ma has created a life for Jack. But she knows it's not enough...not for her or for him. She devises a bold escape plan, one that relies on her young son's bravery and a lot of luck. What she does not realize is just how unprepared she is for the plan to actually work.
Told entirely in the language of the energetic, pragmatic five-year-old Jack, ROOM is a celebration of resilience and the limitless bond between parent and child, a brilliantly executed novel about what it means to journey from one world to another.
愛瑪•多諾霍(Emma Donoghue),1969年10月齣生於都柏林,父親是文學評論傢。少年時光大多在都柏林的一傢天主教女子修道院學校度過,唯有十歲時在紐約的一年生活異常精彩。1990年獲得都柏林大學學院英語以及法語一等榮譽學位(最高等級),但卻拙於開口說法語。隨後 移居英格蘭,在劍橋獲得博士學位(論18世紀虛構作品中的男女友誼)。23歲時寫作為生,自從做瞭一個月的旅店服務員而被解雇後,便以不曾擁有一份靠譜工作而深覺幸運。此後經年往來於英國、愛爾蘭以及加拿大,1998年定居於加拿大安大略省的倫敦市,如今與伴侶Chris Roulston以及幼子Finn (7歲)、幼女Una (3歲)居住在一起。
1927年發生在美國紐約的一樁謀殺親夫案讓久未得誌的詹姆斯.M.凱恩獲得創作靈感,根據這一案例創作的《郵差總按兩遍鈴》使他一舉成名,堪稱美國齣版史上第一部超級暢銷書的好口碑令凱恩本人被推崇為黑色小說的開山鼻祖;1959年堪薩斯小鎮霍爾科姆村發生的滅門血案不僅震驚全美,...
評分 評分太粗心忽略瞭捲首西摩尼德斯的小詩和簡介。等看完《禮物》一小節時因為不知道反復齣現的“他”是個什麼神秘人物,好奇心作祟,看瞭後麵的譯者感受。於是,本以為是《柑橘與檸檬啊》或者《芒果街上的小屋》這類充滿童真的兒童視角作品,結果瞬間就被顛覆瞭,氣氛立馬多瞭一絲憂...
評分 評分拿起這本書是因為書名,房間,那是我的世界。 我曾經在日記裏寫過:從我剛坐進教室那天起就嚮往外麵的陽光和自由,它們是那麼觸手可及卻怎麼也夠不到。後來,終於畢業瞭,但我依然還是在房間裏看陽光。房間以外的世界太過喧嘩,容易讓人迷失方嚮。直到今天,我依然是隔著玻璃悵...
沒有語感就讀不下去瞭,姑且存檔
评分因為很討厭小孩所以並不能對主人公有多少喜歡之情 隻不過是手頭開始瞭的唯一一本小說纔讀下去kill time 唯一有點難過/被觸動的地方是 他問媽媽 我死瞭再迴來之後還會是妳的Jack嗎
评分Not just children,people are locked up in all sorts of ways.
评分Not just children,people are locked up in all sorts of ways.
评分It takes love and patience. Narration in the room is more powerful and stronger. 讀的時候腦海中刻畫的Jack和Ma就是電影的演員,讀完書更覺得電影拍得好瞭。書的重生部分還有點冗餘,所以更喜歡在房間裏的描述。動情,動人的力量。
