书籍介绍
这不是一曲赞美西部拓荒的英雄颂歌,而是一次关于「留下」与「离开」的安静叩问。叙述者吉米逃离了内布拉斯加的草原,成为体面的城里人;而安东尼亚选择扎根土地,在繁衍生息中耗尽了青春的光泽。读者最揪心的,恰是这份不对等的结局:离开者获得了知识与身份,留下者却被生活磨平了棱角。凯瑟没有评判谁更值得,她只是让草原上的南瓜、蛇、昆虫都蘸满情绪,把命运的起伏织进四季更替里。它适合那些愿意慢下来、在「值不值得」之外追问「何为完整」的人——它不提供答案,只留下一片晒着太阳的、辽阔而沉默的田地。

精彩摘录
  • "安东妮亚有一双这世上最容易相信别人并最容易被感动的眼睛;爱心和轻信似乎总把它们单纯的脸探出那对眸子朝外窥视。"
  • "I was something that lay under the sun and felt it, like the pumpkins, and I did not want to be anything more. I was entirely happy. Perhaps we feel like that when we die and become a part of something entire, whether it is sun and air, or goodness and knowledge. At any rate, that is happiness, to b"
  • "While we were lying there against the warm bank, a little insect of the palest, frailest green hopped painfully out of the buffalo grass and tried to leap into a bunch of bluestem. He missed it, fell back, and sat with his head sunk between his long legs, his antennae quivering, as if he were waitin"
  • "Subsequent experiences with rattlesnakes taught me that my first encounter was fortunate in circumstance. My big rattler was old, and had led too easy a life; there was not much fight in him. He had probably lived there for years, with a fat prairie-dog for breakfast whenever he felt like it, a shel"
用户评论
细腻到让人心碎。
文学阅读课要求读的课外书…“I could almost believe that a boy and girl ran along beside me,as our shadows used to do,laughing and whispering to each other in the grass.”画面感好强。很喜欢Antonia,无论怎样都没有放弃对生活的热情,尤其是在最后一章里,不过11个孩子也太多了吧……(。)喜欢看她在农场里劳动的部分,为什么非要嫁人不可,虽然Cuzak是个好男人 T T

My Antonia,that had so much good in her,had come home disgraced.
2009冬 感动的一季
女孩子一定要有自己的事业要不然永远都会被困在同一个地方过一辈子。Lena 和 Tiny比Anotonia要脑子清醒许多,她们的人生也比她丰富许多。
比起大地之母Antonia,我还是想要Lena的人生
I think of you more often than of any one else in this part of world🤧
不知道为什么评分这么高,但真的很一般
好像只有美丽的穹庐般的天和滚滚如同海浪的草的大草原,莫名喜欢这种充满生活感的书,感觉可以让我体验另一种生活:有生活中的甜,比如祖母做的派和各种食物,和Antonia一家的友谊,和Antonia一起在高高的草里看着天一搭没一搭的聊天(很喜欢那句,融合于比自己大的事物大概是最幸福的感觉吧,像是死亡就是融合于万物)圣诞节往树上挂姜饼人看着Otto带来的东西,像Lena一样的女性独立不结婚开店...但也有残酷的一面,比如Antonia不堪重负的父亲,移民受到的歧视,还有阶级的壁垒(男主上学,女主只能当农场工人),然后最后的主题我也喜欢,感慨又有希望,男主和女主还是有着当年的情谊,然后男主学会不活在过去,爱现在的Antonia和现在的草原...
