最近終於看完石黑一雄最著名 (大概也是評價最高) 的 The Remains of the Days (長日將盡), 雖然閱讀的過程中, 我實在受不了男管家史蒂文生自虐式的情感壓抑和盲目的忠誠, 完全無視外部世界的變化和自己親人的感受, 但我實在不得不佩服作者, 藉由史蒂文生自認 30 年管家生涯是在服務世界和平, 這樣令人啼笑皆非的信念, 來諷刺英國這一 “落日帝國” 的懷舊醜態.
從管家史蒂文生 “過濾” 過的回憶, 讀者腦袋裡也逐漸浮現出納粹德國的陰謀, 和達靈頓公爵的政治妄想和軟弱. 在石黑一雄一貫的平實語調中, 看到那些政要雲集的宴會目的居然是姑息主義與支持納粹德國, 我 ... (continue)
最近終於看完石黑一雄最著名 (大概也是評價最高) 的 The Remains of the Days (長日將盡), 雖然閱讀的過程中, 我實在受不了男管家史蒂文生自虐式的情感壓抑和盲目的忠誠, 完全無視外部世界的變化和自己親人的感受, 但我實在不得不佩服作者, 藉由史蒂文生自認 30 年管家生涯是在服務世界和平, 這樣令人啼笑皆非的信念, 來諷刺英國這一 “落日帝國” 的懷舊醜態.
從管家史蒂文生 “過濾” 過的回憶, 讀者腦袋裡也逐漸浮現出納粹德國的陰謀, 和達靈頓公爵的政治妄想和軟弱. 在石黑一雄一貫的平實語調中, 看到那些政要雲集的宴會目的居然是姑息主義與支持納粹德國, 我閱讀的精神一振, 而且有一種 “阿~ 石黑一雄真有你的” 的感覺 : )
到了最後, 管家的體悟是 “對你我這樣的人而言, 殘酷的現實是我們別無選擇, 只能將我們的命運交給那些身處世界之軸心, 雇用我們的偉大紳士” 但實際上, 在點亮街燈的 “the remains of the day”, 他真正的頓悟應該是 “錯誤的人生已無法正常的過” 吧~
