A SOLDIER OF THE GREAT WAR

Book ID/图书代码: 02330008B29284

English Summary/英文概要: On his, last long walk, septuagenarian war hero, deserter, and professor Alessandro Giuliani shares his past with an illiterate young factory worker -- spinning a remarkable tale of heart-stopping escapes, of loves unrequited and won, of madmen, dwarfs, and mafiosi. But overshadowing all is hismost miraculous and terrible adventure, the Great War -- a surreal parade of horrors that devastated and defined Alessandro, yet enabled him to experience fully the magic and beauty of the absurd human comedy called life.

From Mark Helprin bestselling author of Winter’s Tale and Memoir from Antproof Case, comes a magnificent epic adventure in which the hero reckons with love, loss, beauty, honor; and mortality.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 作為一位聲譽極高的羅馬律師的小兒子,阿裡桑德羅眼中的綠樹在蔚藍的天空下金光閃閃。夜晚的月光呈現琥珀色,羅馬城的夜生活在燈光下開始沸騰。他騎著馬,跑遍全國,來到海邊。在阿爾卑斯山脈下,他還是開始登山這門精准而莊嚴的藝術。阿裡桑德羅在博洛尼亞那座古老的大學裡學習繪畫和美學。而且他還陷入愛河,他完全沉浸在一個充滿冒險,夢想,藝術,風暴以及靈氣的世界裡。可是一戰的到來徹底打破了他平靜的生活。
半個世紀後,也就是1964年的8月,阿裡桑德羅已近變成一位白髮蒼蒼的教授。不變的是他依然高大,自傲。不經意間他發現自己和一個大字不識的年輕工人走在同一條路上。由於他們的目的地都是70公里外的村莊Monte Prato,所以老人就向年輕人講述了自己的人生故事。他講述自己如何變成一個士兵,一個英雄,一個逃兵,一個在像地獄一樣的歐洲到處流浪的人,以及他如何悲慘地失去一個家庭和如何再建一個新家庭的過程。
小夥子聽著他的精彩講述感到頭暈目眩,同時又對他那豐富多彩的人生經歷心生羡慕。他還意識到老人關於戰爭與愛的講述絕對不是一個故事那麼簡單:那是老人對生活的再現,對死亡的計算,而最重要的一首為家人創作的情歌。(XMM)
