对葡萄牙历史的匮乏和对这种狂乱荒诞的文字使我对本书完全无法欣赏。那些人们对于葡萄牙人来说可能是如数家珍的,不过对我来说就是一些名字而已。书里有一些还挺有趣的比喻和句子,不过整个故事还是过于天马行空了,拼盘姘伴发挥到极致也不过如此吧。看这本书我觉得特自己特别对不起作者译者和出版社,更对不起那些时间。

跟贾木许的那部Dead Man异曲同工啊。只不过这部片子完全没有轻松的感觉,后半段更趋于神秘,有点儿不太理解。片尾的字慕让我想起在阿德莱德的博物馆看到那些太平洋海岛上的部落们。不知道还有多少亚马逊部落像丛林里静静倒下的树,完全没有任何存在的痕迹。

没想到第二部还能延续第一部的水准,不过也跟第一部一样,需要有耐心慢慢进入整个故事。我觉得Kim的成功之处不光在于能构造一个史诗一样的世界,而且对于人物的把握特别好,让我想起了刘慈欣的三体和其他作品,人物一直是刘最大的软肋。

Kim Stanley Robinson publishing house: Spectra 1993 - 10 other title: Red Mars
In his most ambitious project to date, award-winning author Kim Stanley Robinson utilizes years of research and cutting-edge science in the first of three novels that will chronicle the colonization of Mars. For eons, sandstorms have swept the barren desolate landscape of the red planet. For centuries, Mars has beckoned to mankind to come and conquer its hostile climate. Now, in the year 2026, a group of one hundred colonists is about to fulfill that destiny. John Boone, Maya Toitavna, Frank Chalmers, and Arkady Bogdanov lead a mission whose ultimate goal is the terraforming of Mars. For some, Mars will become a passion driving them to daring acts of courage and madness; for others it offers and opportunity to strip the planet of its riches. And for the genetic "alchemists, " Mars presents a chance to create a biomedical miracle, a breakthrough that could change all we know about life...and death. The colonists place giant satellite mirrors in Martian orbit to reflect light to the planets surface. Black dust sprinkled on the polar caps will capture warmth and melt the ice. And massive tunnels, kilometers in depth, will be drilled into the Martian mantle to create stupendous vents of hot gases. Against this backdrop of epic upheaval, rivalries, loves, and friendships will form and fall to pieces--for there are those who will fight to the death to prevent Mars from ever being changed. Brilliantly imagined, breathtaking in scope and ingenuity, Red Mars is an epic scientific saga, chronicling the next step in human evolution and creating a world in its entirety. Red Mars shows us a future, with both glory and tarnish, that awes with complexity and inspires with vision.

简直可以看成是未来移民火星的史诗级教科书,也可以说是一本关于乌托邦的寓言。作者驾驭大空间跨度和地域跨度的技巧让人惊叹。有时候读起来会觉得有些疲惫,不过一旦进入那个红色火星世界就迫不及待的想知道后面的故事。
