Narration As Books The Narrow Road to the Deep North

A novel of the cruelty of war, and tenuousness of life and the impossibility of love. Richard Flanagan's story — of Dorrigo Evans, an Australian doctor haunted by a love affair with his uncle's wife — journeys from the caves of Tasmanian trappers in the early twentieth century to a crumbling pre-war beachside hotel, from a Thai jungle prison to a Japanese snow festival, from the Changi gallows to a chance meeting of lovers on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Taking its title from 17th-century haiku poet Basho's travel journal, The Narrow Road to the Deep North is about the impossibility of love. At its heart is one day in a Japanese slave labour camp in August 1943. As the day builds to its horrific climax, Dorrigo Evans battles and fails in his quest to save the lives of his fellow POWs, a man is killed for no reason, and a love story unfolds.

Article About Books The Narrow Road to the Deep North

When I turned the final page, I was relieved and sad at the same instant; relieved to have finally let the fates of POWs take wings to better skies and sad to not be living an alternate life, altogether. This exquisite work of Flanagan is so terrifyingly beautiful that it redefined both the words for me. I was surprised to find my mind working at two levels. One level drew shudders - the ulcerated limbs, the beri-beri attacks, the cholera ridden bodies, the virulent lashes, the shitty camps, the

This book had a soul-searing affect on me. It's not so much a novel to read as much as one you crawl inside and experience. There are no sufficient words to explain what it's about, or how it made me feel, other than to say that this is why I read. Not for a happy ending, feel good, on to the next book, life is wonderful kind of story, although that's nice too when it happens. The events and emotions in Narrow Road delve deeper, into what it all means, and why, and how, and what if. Real life

"A good book, he had concluded, leaves you wanting to reread the book. A great book compels you to reread your own soul ." This is what Dorrigo Evans , the hero of this Booker Prize winning novel thinks and after I finished reading it , I couldn't help but think that this book is certainly the latter . "He believed books had an aura that protected him, that without one beside him he would die . He happily slept without women. He never slept without a book ."Interspersed throughout the book there

I received this book for free from Bookworld in exchange for an honest review.This book... Where do I even start?The Narrow Road to the Deep North had such a profound impact on me. I often had to stop mid-sentence and contemplate everything; this book, people, life. I didn't even realise at first that it had drawn me in so deeply, but when I finished I was catatonic.Richard Flanagan is extremely talented. He has such a way with words - his style is so unassuming, but then I find myself needing

*Be warned, some spoilers ahead*Dorrigo Evans is the protagonist of this dramatic novel; an Australian surgeon who serves in WWII and is finally captured by the Japanese and sent to Burma as a prisoner of a labor camp to assemble a railway that will connect Bangkok with Yangon. The narrative structure is divided in five sections set in fragmentary recollections that focus on the milestones in Evans life: the archetypal affair with his uncles young wife prior to war that saves and condemns him to

This narrative was magnificent on so many levels.The structure - told in present and past. The themes - love, loss, survival, good vs evil. The history - of a railroad being built in the deep jungles of Java. Built by POWs with their bare hands as they staved off disease, starvation and brutal beatings. The character - a man so strong, so broken searching for the meaning in his life. The language - to feel the emotions attached to these characters. Exquisite. Authentic. Undeniably devastating.

5★The good thing, Darky told himself, was that it was still dark. He was wet and weary, but he could rest a few more hours. Darky was always looking for the good thing, no matter how small, and consequently he often found it.Thats exactly how I felt, reading this book. The abominations that were inflicted on Australian POWs and slaves on the Burma Railway in WW2 are as sickening as anything that happened in a medieval dungeon or I imagine (shudder) in cave-man days.The good thing is Flanagans
