《夜莺与玫瑰》书评

一，内容简介

本书作者是生于19世纪的英国作家奥斯卡·王尔德。

在这本书中，作者给我们讲述了七篇童话故事，每篇故事都非常精彩，令人动容。其中有令人惋惜的夜莺，令人崇敬的快乐王子和感人的燕子，有从自私变成慷慨的巨人，也有满嘴忠诚的磨坊老板，有自命不凡的火箭，也有从梦中惊醒的少年王，而那个星星的孩子更是尝遍人间疾苦后，终于羽化成蝶。

二，我的感触

1.可以看得出来，生活在当时的英国资本主义时期，作者深受当时社会金钱观的影响。人们变成了一台追求名誉和金钱的机器，而忘记了自己的生活，生活中的亲情、友情、爱情也被赤裸裸的金钱所取代。这样的生活方式，作者在整本书中通过不同的故事，在每个意像身上体现的淋漓尽致，好像这并不仅仅是本童话书，而应是王尔德内心深处最直白的呐喊。我相信，如果说这是一本童话书，那也一定是一本为成年人写就的童话书。

2.作者似乎与大自然融为一体，小鸟、树木、花朵、风、雪、露、霜都是他的写作对象，将他们拟人化似乎折射出了作者内心的一些诉求。而作者的价值观与当时的那个充斥着金钱味道的社会格格不入，从侧面也反映出了作者内心的孤独和渴望拥有友情等。

3.其实自己的价值观也在慢慢地发生着变化，变得自己有点吃惊。随着我们越来越深入现代城市生活，我们的某些感性部分在在慢慢地被压抑，而变得越来越理性，我们变得独立，变得沉默，渐渐地也变成了一个没有感情的机器人。

我们常常懊恼过去，同时也在担忧将来，可唯独不能活在当下，我们生活在了一个虚幻的世界中，这难道就是我们想要的生活吗？就像李健说的那样，真正的人生意义在于踏实，安稳，很享受的生活。

很长一段时间，自己吃饭感觉不到味道，因为自己在分心走神，一个人去玩也是这样，感觉不到景色的怡人，同样因为自己也在分心走神。这样，我们缺少了自己的感觉。我们变得神情紧绷，变得麻木，生活中没有幽默感，同时越来越沉闷，缺乏朝气，就是因为我们经常分神，过多的沉溺于未来的生活，心中的目标太多，可这些目标都太大，太模糊，每天我们一直都在忙于选择，这就造成了我们不能活在当下。

三，本书特色

① 有散文一样的优美，又有诗歌一样的韵律美，读起来就像水银流泻一般流畅，内容有色彩，有声音，画面也很美。例如：

The Nightingale and the Rose

And the marvellous rose became crimson, like the rose of the eastern sky. Crimson was the girdle of petals, and crimson as a ruby was the heart.

But the Nightingale's voice grew fainter, and her little wings began to beat, and a film came over her eyes. Fainter and fainter grew her song, and she felt something choking her in her throat.

Then she gave one last burst of music. The white Moon heard it, and she forgot the dawn, and lingered on in the sky. The red rose heard it, and it trembled all over with ecstasy, and opened its petals to the cold morning air. Echo bore it to her purple cavern in the hills, and woke the sleeping shepherds from their dreams. It floated through the reeds of the river, and they carried its message to the sea.

② 故事架构的很不错，结尾总是出乎人的意料，最后升华了的主题更增添了故事的深意。例如：

The Happy Prince

"Bring me the two most precious things in the city,"said God to one of His Angels; and the Angel brought Him the leaden heart and the dead bird.

"You have rightly chosen,"said God,"for in my garden of Paradise this little bird shall sing for evermore, and in my city of gold the Happy Prince shall praise me."

The Selfish Giant

Downstairs ran the Giant in great joy, and out into the garden. He hastened across the grass, and came near to the child. And when he came quite close his face grew red with anger, and he said,"Who hath dared to wound thee? For on the palms of the child's hands were the prints of two nails, and the prints of two nails were on the little feet.

"Who hath dared to wound thee?"cried the Giant; tell me, that I may take my big sword and slay him."

"Nay!"answered the child;"but these are the wounds of Love."

"Who art thou?"said the Giant, and a strange awe fell on him, and he knelt before the little child.

And the child smiled on the Giant, and said to him,"You let me play once in your garden, to-day you shall come with me to my garden, which is Paradise."

And when the children ran in that afternoon, they found the Giant lying dead under the tree, all covered with white blossoms.

四，我的看法

这本书和The Little Prince那本书类似，都是写给成年人的童话书，都有讽刺意味，更适合多次翻阅。

尤其生活在现代社会中，我们更应该通过这本书里的故事去反思我们自己的生活。我们是不是也变成了故事里的某个人物，我们是不是也已经丢掉了我们曾拥有的比金钱更重要的东西。

可以说，这本书是一本能重塑我们价值观的书，当我们忘记了生活本身，我们不妨翻翻这本书，每次翻阅总能有所触动，有所感悟。
