我这学期的'精神粮食'



- Sat, 18th Feb 2012. 

晚在Borders书局买了期待已久的小说《The Night Circus》,这可是我从多间书局找寻了很久的小说,而且手中的这一本更可能是最后一本了(心情兴奋就是了)。使用了Borders会员卡享有10%折扣和最后一张的RM50购书卷,只需付RM3.90就可以拥有这一本在网上大家都强力推荐的小说。


从网上粉丝的照片,可知外国的书店都有热烈积极推销此小说和面子书上page报导的最新消息,还有配合新书的推出,网上更设有让玩家感受如同踏入梦之马戏团的游戏。刚开始的时候,我是从一名blogger的网站中看到她的新书介绍而得知这一本小说的存在。


作者Erin Morgenstern, 书中是如此介绍作者:a writer and artist who describe all her work as being 'fairy tales in one way or another'. 作者更使用了马戏团和魔法的题材写了如此充满魔幻的小说,的确是我喜欢类型的故事情节。这样的小说应是大部分人都会喜欢吧。提到马戏团的爱情故事,必然就会联想到《大象的眼泪》还是《如果爱》,若这也被拍成电影的话,那就非常好!看了数篇网上的小说赏析,我决定无论如何都要把这一本珍贵的小说放在自己的书柜里。


看看网上的Book Trailer吧 (<---click),故事讲述一个神秘的梦之马戏团(Le Cirque des Rêves),时间设定在十八和十九世纪的欧洲。没有任何通告,没有任何宣传,这是只有在黑夜降临和破晓之前才会营业的马戏团,马戏团帐篷就这样静悄悄地耸立在那场地,那全是一夜间发生的事情…故事大纲就省略,当中围绕着魔法师们的经历还有爱情故事。目前只是到了开头的部分-A Gentlemen's Wager而已,等我仔细阅读后才知道故事情节的来龙去脉。

读着黑白色彩上演的马戏团故事,文中的形容不免会让我感觉到象是在观赏着一部经典的黑白电影,感觉真的很棒!要看小说就要趁这时候,不久后看来自己没有多余休闲的时间了。提升灵感也好,为了消磨时光也好,消除压力也不错,深夜里静静地阅读《The Night Circus》,让自己沉淀一下,毕竟可以读小说的时间需要珍惜。希望自己可以在这学期里可以把这小说阅读完。
