From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans, comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human.

Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it.

Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it’s only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is.

Never Let Me Go breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Ishiguro takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date.

克隆人有灵魂吗

【读品】罗豫/文 一群孩子在一所特别的学校长大。他们之间有友谊、妒忌、取笑、欺骗……与正常的孩子别无二致。唯一不同的是,他们从小被灌输了一套关于自己人生责任的学说:他们活着,就是为了向外面世界的人提供器官。一次次捐赠后,他们会越来越虚弱,最终光荣实现人生意义... (展开)

一段三角情与三个“局外人”

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露

故事从护理员凯丝的回忆开始。在独自一人开车穿行在乡间小路的时候,凯丝总是回忆起童年的寄宿制学校黑尔舍姆,回忆起她与露丝、汤米之间从童年开始纠缠在一起的命运点滴。 这是颇具石黑一雄特色的开篇和背景,在英伦雾气沉沉的背景里,回忆盘旋而起。 石黑一雄是2017年诺贝尔... (展开)

不可告人的宿命

第一次读到石黑一雄是他那本处女作《远山淡影》,他在小说里不厌其烦地描述一个日本女人的内心幻象,结局令人难以忘怀。今天早上花了两个小时读完了他的名作《别让我走》,村上春树曾经把这本书形容为“半个世纪以来读到的最好的小说”。 和川端康成一样,石黑一雄喜欢描述人... (展开)

Intricate, touching, but darkly twisted

Personally I love this book. What I'm not comfortable with is the description given in the rating. Instead of judgemental phrase like '推荐', I prefer something more personal like 'like it' or 'love it'. Now comes to the book. I have to admit, at first I ... (展开)

有些界限,永远无法跨越

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露

我是在上课要考试的情况下两天之内迅速读完了这本小说的。但是由于不是母语,依然是逐字逐句读的。整本书读完,并没有像某些美国同学一样痛哭流涕,只是觉得有些压抑和沉重。主人公Kathy对于命运的安然接受,对于我而言只觉得不真实。 然而整本书最为打动我的地方... (展开)

徒劳的努力,伟大的失败——评石黑一雄《莫失莫忘》

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露

《莫失莫忘》是诺奖得主石黑一雄写的一部关于克隆人的科幻小说,书中从凯丝的回忆开始,通过描述她与露丝,汤米三个人的友情和爱情来勾勒出他们短暂的一生。我一直以为,石黑一雄的作品不管外面套了一个什么样的壳子,讨论的问题都只有一个,那就是:人之为人的意义是什么?这... (展开)

文艺佳作,逻辑缺陷——评never let me go

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露

我是先看了电影再看小说的。看电影的时候,我被一种似有似无但却浓黏难化的忧郁感给笼罩。后来看影评,有人说这是他看过最depressing的电影,然咧!我始终深深的被他们对于生以及生活的渴望所感动,但是实在无法理解他们无力和无意改变这种命运的原因。有人说,因为他们是克隆... (展开)

假如明天来临

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露

这是一部讲给不流泪的都市人的故事,用于治疗皲裂干涸的眼与心。纵然是以冷酷的方式让所有伤痛曝于天日之下,这种感觉无法让人愉悦,你注定要承受挥之不去的痛楚以及,沉甸甸的自省。 石黑一雄,这位日裔英籍作家的伟大正在于对人类未来与命运的深切关怀,这些宏大的... (展开)

不能说的伤感

石黑一雄笔调典雅平淡,剥洋葱喝凉白开一样慢慢地叙述这个不怎么离奇不怎么科幻不怎么让人激动的故事。对于我们这种看完以后被感伤得说不出话来的人,写在这里的东西也不能透露太多,一透露,半本书就索然无味了。 以他这个调调,你只消看两三章就会明白,不会有I... (展开)

情系明天

只是因为姓氏的相同,村上春树与村上龙在日本文坛被称为“双村上”,但在中国读者心中村上春树的地位要高于村上龙很多。同样只是因为相似的背景,石黑一雄与拉什迪、奈保尔并称为“英国文坛移民三雄”,但石黑一雄的国际主义风格却完全看不出移民作家的痕迹。我一直觉得把... (展开)
