A FTER MORE THAN TWO YEARS ON THE BESTSELLER LISTS, K HALED H OSSEINI RETURNS WITH A BEAUTIFUL, RIVETING, AND HAUNTING NOVEL OF ENORMOUS CONTEMPORARY RELEVANCE. A Thousand Splendid Suns is a breathtaking story set against the volatile events of Afghanistan's last thirty years -- from the Soviet invasion to the reign of the Taliban to post-Taliban rebuilding -- that puts the violence, fear, hope and faith of this country in intimate, human terms. It is a tale of two generations of characters brought jarringly together by the tragic sweep of war, where personal lives -- the struggle to survive, raise a family, find happiness -- are inextricable from the history playing out around them. Propelled by the same storytelling instinct that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once a remarkable chronicle of three decades of Afghan history and a deeply moving account of family and friendship. It is a striking, heartwrenching novel of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love -- a stunning accomplishment.

发觉自己对阿富汗了解太少,对塔利班的暴政也完全没什么印象了,直到最近的新闻才发现阿富汗至今仍处于水深火热之中。Mariam的命运就跟中国8年抗战+10年内战似地艰难。Rasheed就是个标准的DV男+恋童癖,该斩!Laila很幸运遇上Mariam~听完后我只想到Braveheart里的那句Freedom!我想这也是Mariam那时感觉吧。

没有很煽情,只是一直吸引着人读下去为书中人物揪着心。普通人命运在动荡时代中的无奈、挣扎、抗争。 没有宏大的叙事,空洞的时事评论,历史事件是串起书中人物命运的隐线,关注的是个人,描写细腻。最后Laila一家回国探访Mariam旧居一段,明明叙述很克制平静,可是之前积压着情绪也随着Laila一起不觉地泪流满面。读的时候会联想到中国近代战争年代的故事,动荡时代小人物的故事讲得好是跨越文化时空引起共鸣的。... 没有很煽情,只是一直吸引着人读下去为书中人物揪着心。普通人命运在动荡时代中的无奈、挣扎、抗争。 没有宏大的叙事,空洞的时事评论,历史事件是串起书中人物命运的隐线,关注的是个人,描写细腻。最后Laila一家回国探访Mariam旧居一段,明明叙述很克制平静,可是之前积压着情绪也随着Laila一起不觉地泪流满面。读的时候会联想到中国近代战争年代的故事,动荡时代小人物的故事讲得好是跨越文化时空引起共鸣的。这个版本Narrator Atossa Leoni 读得也好。 (展开)

宁为太平犬,不做乱世人。国家如果不能稳定强大,就难有个人的安全和富足。更不用说在burqa的加持下生活的女人。Liala是相对幸运的,而Mariam的故事可能不断在阿富汗这种的地区发生。
