9.0 (179 个评分) 作者: [捷克] 米兰·昆德拉 译者: 许钧 上海译文出版社 2010 - 8
小说依托六十年代的捷克斯洛伐克的政治历史背景,围绕着托马斯、特蕾莎、萨比娜和弗兰茨等人物,以托马斯与特蕾莎的爱情为主线展开故事。
爱与做爱,灵魂与肉体,拯救与放逐,忠诚与背叛,昆德拉把一个个的矛盾摆在面前,“到底选择什么?是重还是轻?”“重便真的残酷,而轻便真的美丽?”重与轻不再是物理上的简单对立,而是如昆德拉所说:“重与轻的对立是所有对立中最神秘、最模糊的。

Berlin Alexanderplatz 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: Alfred Döblin Deutsche Taschenbuch Verlag 1965 - 4
Biberkopf hat geschworen, er will anständig sein, und ihr habt gesehen, wie er wochenlang anständig ist, aber das war gewissermaßen nur eine Gnadenfrist. Das Leben findet das auf die Dauer zu fein und stellt ihm hinterlistig ein Bein. Die Geschichte des Transportarbeiters Franz Biberkopf, der, aus der Strafanstalt Berlin-Tegel entlassen, als ehrlicher Mann ins Leben zurückfinden möchte, ist der erste deutsche Großstadtroman von literarischem Rang. Das Berlin der Zwanziger Jahre ist der Schauplatz des Geschehens. Dabei wird die Großstadt selbst zum Gegenspieler des gutmütig-jähzornigen Franz Biberkopf, der dieser verlockenden, aber auch unerbittlichen Welt zu trotzen versucht. Mit Berlin Alexanderplatz vollzog Döblin die radikale Abkehr vom bürgerlich psychologischen Roman. Hier wurde kein Einzelschicksal analysiert. Das kollektive Geschehen, das Allgemeine einer menschlichen Situation erfuhr hier eine gültige dichterische Gestaltung. Der Roman zählt zu den großen Epen unserer Zeit.

《达芬奇密码》打破了传统悬念小说的模式,其行文节奏明快,语言富有智慧,情节错落有致,调查资料翔实,刻画细致入微。从小说的精彩开篇到难以预料的令人叫绝的结尾,畅销书作家丹·布朗充分证明自己是个善讲故事的大师。
这是一本博学而充满悬念的小说,场景设定在卢浮宫宏大的厅堂之中。
丹·布朗在小说里描述了一种带有黑色幽默的人生哲学,同时通过小说主人公之口对卢浮宫收藏的经典画作进行了别具一格的点评,对创作这些作品的画家也有非常有意思的介绍。
该书是惊险小说和智力解迷结合的典范之作。

哈佛大学的符号学专家罗伯特·兰登在法国巴黎出差期间的一个午夜接到一个紧急电话,得知卢浮宫博物馆年迈的馆长被人杀害在卢浮宫的博物馆里,人们在他的尸体旁边发现了一个难以捉摸的密码。兰登与法国一位颇有天分的密码破译专家索菲·奈芙,在对一大堆怪异的密码进行整理的过程当中,发现一连串的线索就隐藏在达芬奇的艺术作品当中,深感震惊。这些线索,大家都清楚可见,然而却被画家巧妙地隐藏起来。

兰登无意之中非常震惊地发现,已故的博物馆馆长是峋山隐修会(Priory of Sion)的成员——这是一个真实存在的秘密组织,其成员包括艾撒克·牛顿爵士、波提切利、维克多·雨果与达芬奇,这无疑给他们增加了风险。兰登感觉到他们是在找寻一个石破天惊的历史秘密,这是个数世纪以来就证明了的既能给人启迪又很危险的秘密。在这场足迹遍及巴黎以及伦敦的追逐中,兰登与奈芙发现他们在跟一位始终不露面的幕后操纵者斗智斗勇。他们必须解开这个错综复杂的谜团,否则,峋山隐修会掩盖的秘密,那隐藏了多年的令人震惊的古老真相,将永远消逝在历史的尘埃之中。

With The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown masterfully concocts an intelligent and lucid thriller that marries the gusto of an international murder mystery with a collection of fascinating esoteria culled from 2,000 years of Western history.
A murder in the silent after-hour halls of the Louvre museum reveals a sinister plot to uncover a secret that has been protected by a clandestine society since the days of Christ. The victim is a high-ranking agent of this ancient society who, in the moments before his death, manages to leave gruesome clues at the scene that only his granddaughter, noted cryptographer Sophie Neveu, and Robert Langdon, a famed symbologist, can untangle. The duo become both suspects and detectives searching for not only Neveu's grandfather's murderer but also the stunning secret of the ages he was charged to protect. Mere steps ahead of the authorities and the deadly competition, the mystery leads Neveu and Langdon on a breathless flight through France, England, and history itself. Brown (Angels and Demons) has created a page-turning thriller that also provides an amazing interpretation of Western history. Brown's hero and heroine embark on a lofty and intriguing exploration of some of Western culture's greatest mysteries--from the nature of the Mona Lisa's smile to the secret of the Holy Grail. Though some will quibble with the veracity of Brown's conjectures, therein lies the fun. The Da Vinci Code is an enthralling read that provides rich food for thought.
--Jeremy Pugh
From Publishers Weekly
Brown's latest thriller (after Angels and Demons)is an exhaustively researched page-turner about secret religious societies, ancient coverups and savage vengeance. The action kicks off in modern-day Paris with the murder of the Louvre's chief curator, whose body is found laid out in symbolic repose at the foot of the Mona Lisa. Seizing control of the case are Sophie Neveu, a lovely French police cryptologist, and Harvard symbol expert Robert Langdon, reprising his role from Brown's last book. The two find several puzzling codes at the murder scene, all of which form a treasure map to the fabled Holy Grail. As their search moves from France to England, Neveu and Langdon are confounded by two mysterious groups-the legendary Priory of Sion, a nearly 1,000-year-old secret society whose members have included Botticelli and Isaac Newton, and the conservative Catholic organization Opus Dei. Both have their own reasons for wanting to ensure that the Grail isn't found. Brown sometimes ladles out too much religious history at the expense of pacing, and Langdon is a hero in desperate need of more chutzpah. Still, Brown has assembled a whopper of a plot that will please both conspiracy buffs and thriller addicts.
From Library Journal
When Brown regular Robert Langdon is called in to investigate the murder of a curator at the Louvre, he discovers that the body is surrounded by strange ciphers evidently linked to the paintings of Da Vinci-and a powerful relic protected by the Priory, a secret society to which the artist belonged.
From Booklist
In a two-day span, American symbologist Robert Langdon finds himself accused of murdering the curator of the Louvre, on the run through the streets of Paris and London, and teamed up with French cryptologist Sophie Neveu to uncover nothing less than the secret location of the Holy Grail. It appears that a conservative Catholic bishop might be on the verge of destroying the Grail, which includes an alternate history of Christ that could bring down the church. Whoever is ordering the deaths of the Grail's guardians--modern-day members of an ancient society descended from the famed Knights Templar--must be stopped before the treasure is lost forever. To do so, Langdon and Neveu have to solve a series of ciphers and riddles while evading a tireless French police commander and a ruthless albino monk. Despite being hampered by clunky flashback sequences and place descriptions that read like tourist brochures, the story is full of brain-teasing puzzles and fascinating insights into religious history and art. Ultimately, Brown's intricate plot delivers more satisfying twists than a licorice factory.

Largely set in a futuristic World State, inhabited by genetically modified citizens and an intelligence-based social hierarchy, the novel anticipates huge scientific advancements in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation and classical conditioning that are combined to make a dystopian society which is challenged by only a single individual: the story's protagonist.

<i>Der Steppenwolf</i> ist die Geschichte von Harry Haller, der sich im Zustand völliger Entfremdung von seiner bürgerlichen Welt „eine geniale, eine unbegrenzte furchtbare Leidensfähigkeit herangebildet“ hat. Die innere Zerrissenheit Hallers spiegelt die Erscheinungen der modernen Massen- und Industriegesellschaft wider und reflektiert kultur- und zivilisationskritische Strömungen des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willougby, she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love - and its threatened loss - the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.

如果注定要面對悲慘的命運,我們該將何去何從?
15歲的私生女瑪黎安,與母親相依為命住在山區簡陋的小屋,最大的心願就是和父親一起看電影過生日,沒想到卻導致母親自殺,更讓自己被迫嫁給一位40歲的鰥夫鞋商。20年後,出身中產家庭、受過良好教養的15歲少女萊拉,在戰火中失去所有的親人,為求生存,不得不也選擇嫁給瑪黎安性情乖戾的丈夫。
瑪黎安與萊拉儘管相差了19歲,對於愛和家庭的概念大不相同,但兩人的命運卻因為戰爭、喪親而交纏在一起。在共同歷經了丈夫的凌虐之後,她們不但情同姊妹,甚至更如同母女般相互依存,最後還扭轉了自己的人生道路。
作者以感人至深的力道,描繪了阿富汗女性在砲火、飢餓、暴虐與恐懼之下,如何絕望地忍受煎熬苦難,與命運搏鬥,以及她們如何憑藉著對家庭的愛,勇敢地犧牲自我,而最終,也是愛,或者說,是對愛的記憶,支撐倖存者勇敢活下去。
這是一個讓人難以忘懷、心碎的故事,關於一個殘酷的年代、一段不可能的友誼和永遠無法毀滅的愛。
而儘管生命充滿苦痛與辛酸,但每一段悲痛的故事中都能讓人見到微弱的希望曙光。
本書特色
時空跨越三十年的揪心記錄,一部關於家庭、友誼、信念和自我救贖的動人故事。《燦爛千陽》再次以阿富汗戰亂為背景,用細膩感人的筆觸描繪了阿富汗舊制度與新時代下苦苦掙扎的婦女,她們所懷抱的希望、愛情、夢想與所有的失落。

【關於本書——作者的話】
2003 年,我重返喀布爾。我看到穿著傳統蒙面服裝的女性三三兩兩走在街頭,後面跟著她們穿得破破爛爛的孩子,向路人乞討零錢。那一刻,我很想知道,生命將她們帶往了何處?她們有什麼樣的夢想、希望與渴求?她們談過戀愛嗎?丈夫是什麼樣的人?在阿富汗長達二十年的戰爭歲月中,她們失去了什麼?
我跟許多喀布爾的女性談過,她們的故事真實又讓人心碎。當我開始寫《燦爛千陽》之際,我發現自己不斷想起這些充滿韌性的阿富汗婦女。雖然她們不見得是引發我描寫故事主角萊拉或瑪黎安的靈感來源,不過她們的聲音、面容與堅毅的生存故事卻一直縈繞在我腦海,而且關於這本小說,我的啟發大部分緣自阿富汗女性的堅韌精神。
【關於書名由來——作者】
這本書的書名是來自一首有關喀布爾的詩,這首詩是十七世紀波斯詩人Saib-e-Tabrizi在參觀喀布爾之後的作品。當時我正在找尋描寫喀布爾詩詞的英譯本,想要在書中人物即將離開深愛城市的悲傷場景中使用,結果我發現了這首詩。我瞭解到我不只找到了切合書中想要表達的情緒詩句,同時在詩末出現的句子a thousand splendid suns,也相當切合這本小說想要表達的主題。
