内容简介
The final curtain is closing on the Second World War, and Hana, a nurse, stays behind in an abandoned Italian villa to tend to her only remaining patient. Rescued by Bedouins from a burning plane, he is English, anonymous, damaged beyond recognition and haunted by his memories of passion and betrayal.
The only clue Hana has to his past is the one thing he clung on to through the fire - a copy of The Histories by Herodotus, covered with hand-written notes describing a painful and ultimately tragic love affair.
《英国病人》讲述的是二战期间,一架英国飞机在飞越撒哈拉沙漠时被德军击落,飞机上的机师面部被全部烧伤,当地的人将他救活后送往了盟军战地医院。由于受伤,这个机师丧失了记忆,不能想起自己是谁,因此只被叫做“英国病人”。法国和加拿大血统的护士汉娜是战地医院的一名护士,战争使她失去了男友麦根,在伤员转移途中由于误入雷区,又失去了最好的朋友珍,于是善良的汉娜决定独自留下来照顾这个“英国病人”。这是意大利托斯卡纳的一个废弃的修道院,远离战争的喧嚣,显得宁静而闲逸,“英国病人“静静的躺在房间的木床上,窗头的一本旧书渐渐唤起了他的绪........
