内容简介

For years, Nadezhda and Vera, two Ukrainian sisters, raised in England by their refugee parents, have had as little as possible to do with each other - and they have their reasons. But now they find they'd better learn how to get along, because since their mother's death their aging father has been sliding into his second childhood, and an alarming new woman has just entered his life. Valentina, a bosomy young synthetic blonde from the Ukraine, seems to think their father is much richer than he is, and she is keen that he leave this world with as little money to his name as possible.If Nadazhda and Vera don't stop her, no one will. But separating their addled and annoyingly lecherous dad from his new love will prove to be no easy feat - Valentina is a ruthless pro and the two sisters swiftly realize that they are mere amateurs when it comes to ruthlessness. As Hurricane Valentina turns the family house upside down, old secrets come falling out, including the most deeply buried one of them all, from the War, the one that explains much about why Nadazhda and Vera are so different. In the meantime, oblivious to it all, their father carries on with the great work of his dotage, a grand history of the tractor.

精彩书评

More than just a jolly romp with political undertones is the way it captures the peculiar flavour of Eastern European immigrant life . . . a very rich mixture indeed, as well as very enjoyable reading.
--The Times

A delightful first novel . . . an understanding of history, a profundity, and yet a lightness of touch, that are a joy . . . funny, touching and completely convincing.
--The Spectator

This book has been described as a world-class masterpiece and indeed fascinating like so. Once I open this book, I just can’t put it down. Thus I recommend this book for all of you, my dear friends. This book has been described as a masterpiece, and for good reason. Through this "genealogy" of history, Foucault shows us how modern society has become penal and coercive in nature; and perhaps more importantly, that all us now live in the midst of an abstract, authoritative public "gaze." Discipline and Punish is still relevant for today, even though the Panopticon has vanished. I think this book is brilliant and disturbing. It is not always easy to read, but then, what book worth reading is? Foucault is given to dramatic images, and he does little to mitigate the impact of these images on the reader. Perhaps he is really trying to increase this impact. Since he is attempting to counter the powers of normalization, he may need all of the momentum he can get. 本书旨在论述关于现代灵魂与一种新的审判权力之间相互关系的历史，论述现行的科学一法律综合体的系谱。在这种综合体中。惩罚权力获得了自身的基础、证明和规则。扩大了自己的效应，并且用这种综合体掩饰自己超常的独特性。本书所考察的惩罚权力的历史包括三个阶段：中世纪末和旧制度时期作为王权武器的酷刑；18世纪末，包括法国大革命时期人道主义的“再现”式惩罚；19世纪开始的、使用现代规训技术的监狱和普遍化的监视。书中提到的“古典时期，不是指古希腊罗马时期的古典古代，而是指近代绝对君主制和法国大革命时期，大体上与西方文学史上所说的古典主义文学时期一致。本书中这一术语的用法与福柯其他著作中的用法也是一致的。关于古典时期的惩罚权力，书中概括为“表象的、戏剧性的、能指的、公开的、集体的方式”。这里的表象一词在书中有的场合根据上下文译为“观念”或“再现”。表象或再现是福柯用以描述古典时期“权力一知识”综合体的一个重要术语。这种观点是与他在1966年发表的《词与物》（英译版《事物的秩序》）一脉相承的。在《词与物》中，福柯考察了近代西方的“知识型的替嬗。其中，他认为17—18世纪古典时期知识型的特点是，词并不直接表示物，而是一种符号，而符号只是对其他符号的“再现”。词组成了享有特权的符号系统。人们用词的秩序来再现物的秩序。

很好玩，中英文各买了一本，还买了一本她写的草莓地。英文这本是平装的，大概是小32开，纸皮本，纸质较差，很轻，但装订质量还是可以的。

　　柯林斯拉丁语—英语双向词典提供了很多古代人名（比如Cicero【西塞罗】）、地名（比如Parthenope【那不勒斯】）、民族名（比如Celtae【克尔特人】）和神话知识（比如Apollo，解释为 Greek god of music, archery, prophecy, flocks and herds, and often identified with the sun），这样使读者初步了解古代社会和文化。在书的中间位置（在拉英词典和英拉词典中间）还插入许多关于古罗马历史文化的表格，如“罗马史重大事件表”（从公元前753年罗马建城到哥特人公元410年入侵为止）、“罗马管理制度和官制表”、“罗马军队组织表”、“家谱表”（包含各种亲戚关系的名称）、“古罗马重要作者表”（从Ennius【恩尼乌斯】到Plinius minor【小普林尼】，但不包含古代晚期的作者，如Augustinus【奥古斯丁】）。一份长达9页的对照表列出了欧洲地名的古代写法和现代（英语）写法，比如York（约克）在古代称Eburacum。这些地名资料对研究欧洲历史文献的学者来说非常重要。

本市适合外国文学、东欧文学、原版书读者。用一种幽默的笔法书写上一代人的苦难史，很难把握好分寸。玛琳娜的聪明在于，她的幽默只针对现实的生活，对历史的记忆碎片，或者说对家族史的回顾和整理中，幽默的笔法又变成了几许荒诞。不要小看这种差别，历史的苦难本就有几分荒诞的意味，乌克兰的历史其实就是那个时代中大历史的一个缩影。
