內容簡介

內容簡介 "AN OLD-FASHIONED, BIG-HEARTED NOVEL . . . with its epic yearning caught in the 19th century, somewhere between Trollope and Twain . . . The rich detail makes for vintage Irving."--The Boston Sunday Globe"The Cider House Rules is filled with people to love and to feel for. . . . The characters in John Irving's novel break all the rules, and yet they remain noble and free-spirited. Victims of tragedy, violence, and injustice, their lives seem more interesting and full of thought-provoking dilemmas than the lives of many real people."--The Houston Post"John Irving's sixth and best novel . . . He is among the very best storytellers at work today. At the base of Irving's own moral concerns is a rare and lasting regard for human kindness."--The Philadelphia Inquirer"Entertaining and affecting . . . John Irving is the most relentlessly inventive writer around. He proliferates colorful incidents and crotchets of character. . . . A truly astounding amount of artistry and ingenuity."--The San Diego Union 'AN OLD-FASHIONED, BIG-HEARTED NOVEL . . . with its epic yearning caught in the 19th century, somewhere between Trollope and Twain . . .

各界推薦

各界推薦 就我個人的領會，Irving是位本質上非常單純的作家。但由於太過單純，以致和這個不單純的世界產生了齟齬，反倒令人覺得他的現代性更加明顯。這種獨特感真是不得了！如此的獨特與激進，希望有更多人能夠理解。 －－村上春樹 John Irving是當今美國文壇首屈一指的小說家，日本的村上春樹、台灣的張大春都對他極度推崇，本書更榮登紐約時報暢銷書排行榜第一名的小說，在一九九九年，由Irving親自改編成同名電影劇本，並獲得奧斯卡金像獎最佳改編劇本獎。 一本風靡美國、歐洲、日本，許多讀者深深為之著迷與感動、精采好看又深刻動人的小說。 一個沒有子女的父親、與一個沒有父親的兒子的故事…… 在二十世紀前半的緬因州鄉間，設立一所墮胎醫院與孤兒院的婦產科醫生——韋伯．勒奇，將他豐富的醫學知識與外科技術，傳授給他最鍾愛的孤兒荷馬。然而滿懷人道理想、早熟而善良的荷馬，卻不願繼承恩師的衣缽——為人墮胎，於是在一個偶然的機緣下，離開了孤兒院，前往嚮往中的天堂——觀海果園，荷馬不僅學習到經營果園的方法、看見了孤兒院之外的真實世界、體會到人生的悲苦與歡樂，也與好友的女友墜入情網，從此在道德與愛情之間徘徊掙扎。但冥冥之中，命運賦予他背負起恩師責任的使命，而經過人生歷練的荷馬，也終將追隨勒奇醫生的腳步，勇敢邁向未來……
