书籍介绍
这并非一本寻常的一战小说。它把镜头先对准1910年法国皮卡第的温柔乡：一个内敛克制的青年斯蒂芬，坠入对主人妻子的炽热爱恋，情欲如藤蔓般将他缠绕、重塑。数年之后，同样的田野成为西线战场，他拖着被爱情改变过的身体走进马恩河、凡尔登与索姆河的泥泞。读者最难忘的，正是这种"甜蜜与残酷"的强烈对照——战争把个人的软肋无限放大，越是怕死、越有爱的人，越难活着回来。书的后半段转入孙女视角，双线交织，有人盛赞战争书写的惨烈罕见，也有人嫌70年代部分拖沓脱节。它适合愿意慢下来、在情爱与死亡之间反复咀嚼的读者，而非只求节奏紧凑的人。
精彩摘录
- "Stephen seemed too private and too self-contained to be the sort of man who would chase women, in any event. In Azaire's imagination such men would always declare themselves with flirtatious talk; they would handsome and much wittier than he was and would charm women in an obvious and seductive mann"
用户评论
One poetic novel, reminding me of that all the beautiful things doom to be wrong, somehow, in the first place, and then there comes their redemptions in the last chapter optic.
前几章的结尾都会有被震撼的感觉。Jack的故事不止一次看哭我:( hatred is not real but manufactured.
Great imagination, very convincing. History, no matter how traumatic, should not be hidden or forgotten by later generations.
Audiobook read by Samuel West。太蠢了看到SW的朗读就直接买了，完全没注意是删减版……就删减版的内容我只能给两颗星，实在是太无趣了，剧情提不起一点兴趣。太心痛了六个小时打了水漂。
There is another angle to describe the war from the trench.
花了两个多月终于读完。战争部分比较精彩，近距离带给人战争的无情与残酷，那种战场上的伤亡景象是少有的。 感情部分以及后来他孙女那部分就有点弱，也有点拖沓，看的时候总想快进🤭。
翻译挺赞，但小说乏善可陈，情节推进缓慢，笔触差强人意，也谈不上多么深邃的思索……据说该书作者是诺贝尔文学奖的热门候选……就很一言难尽了……
寒假看完，无甚印象
