《最長(zhǎng)的旅行》
【內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】
Two couples. Two love stories. One epic tale. Ninety-one-year-old Ira Levinson is in trouble. Struggling to stay conscious after a car crash, with his mind fading, an image of his adored - and long-dead - wife Ruth appears. Urging him to hang on, she lovingly recounts the joys and sorrows of their life together - how they met, the dark days of WWII and its unrelenting effect on their families.
兩對(duì)夫婦。兩個(gè)愛情故事。一段史詩(shī)傳奇。91歲的艾拉·萊文森身處困境。他竭力在車禍后保持頭腦清醒,但卻慢慢喪失意識(shí),甚至看見了去世多年的愛妻露絲回到他身邊。他的妻子鼓勵(lì)他要活下去,愛意盈盈地講述他們?cè)?jīng)在一起的快樂與悲傷——他們初見時(shí)的浪漫情景、二戰(zhàn)爆發(fā)時(shí)的黑暗年代、以及無(wú)情的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)對(duì)家庭造成的影響。
A few miles away, college student Sophia Danko's life is about to change. Recovering from a break-up, she meets the young, rugged Luke and is thrown into a world far removed from her privileged school life. Sophia sees a new and tantalising future for herself, but Luke is keeping a secret that could destroy it all.
而幾英里之外,大學(xué)學(xué)生索菲·婭丹的生活也面臨劇變。從分手情傷中復(fù)原之后,她遇到了年輕粗獷的盧克,并因此遠(yuǎn)離從前養(yǎng)尊處優(yōu)的學(xué)校生活。索菲看到了自己將來(lái)的美好新生活,但盧克卻一直保守著不為人知的秘密,一旦泄露便會(huì)萬(wàn)劫不復(fù)。
Ira and Ruth. Sophia and Luke. Two couples, separated by years and experience, whose lives are about to converge in the most unexpected - and shocking - of ways.
艾拉和露絲、索菲和盧克,這兩對(duì)情侶本該因年齡和閱歷的差距而互無(wú)交集,但他們的生活卻通過(guò)最出人意料、最震撼人心的方式融匯相通。

【讀者評(píng)論】
This is a great story about true long lasting love, and about what's really important in life. I would strongly reccommend this book! It captures your attention throughout and pulls at your heart strings. I cant wait for the movie!
這是一本好書,告訴了我什么是長(zhǎng)久真愛,生命中真正重要的是什么。我強(qiáng)烈推薦這部小說(shuō)!從頭到尾你都一直被它所吸引,任憑它撥動(dòng)你的心弦。我現(xiàn)在都等不及要看由它改編的電影了!
This is the best of Nicholas Sparks since The Notebook! Oh course, I have read all his books and have seen all his movies --they are all great – however, I will say The Longest Ride is at the top of the list with The Notebook. What a beautifully written poignant love story and fell in love with all the characters (especially Luke).
這是尼古拉斯·斯帕克斯自《戀戀筆記本》之后最好的作品!當(dāng)然我讀過(guò)他所有的書,看過(guò)所有他作品改編的電影——雖然都很贊,但我還是要說(shuō)只有《最長(zhǎng)的旅行》才能和《戀戀筆記本》同登榜首。小說(shuō)講述了一個(gè)凄美的愛情故事,我愛上了所有的出場(chǎng)人物(尤其是盧克)。
Nicholas Sparks, I love you, and this book is only one of the reasons why. You always know how to write such a heartfelt love story that has me tearing up and smiling at the same time. This novel was a beautiful story that left me pondering on life and the value of love and family. If you have not read a Nicholas Sparks book, this would be a great one to start with.
我愛你,尼古拉斯·斯帕克斯!這本書是我愛你的唯一原因。你總是知道如何去寫一個(gè)令人感同身受的愛情故事,能讓我流著淚微笑。這部小說(shuō)中的故事美麗動(dòng)人,使我讀后陷入沉思,對(duì)生命的沉思,對(duì)愛和家人擁有多少價(jià)值的沉思。如果你們還沒讀過(guò)尼古拉斯·斯帕克斯的作品,這一本將是個(gè)很棒的開始。
