This Boy's Life 最新 lit 百度云 下载 azw3 rb pdf kindle

This unforgettable memoir of boyhood in the 1950s, a true modern classic, introduces us to the young Toby Wolff, by turns tough and vulnerable, crafty and bumbling. Separated by the divorce from his father and brother, Toby and his mother are constantly on the moves. As he fights for identity and self-respect against the unrelenting hostility of a new stepfather, his experiences are at once poignant and comical, and Wolff masterfully re-creates the frustrations, cruelties, and joys of adolescence. His various schemes—running away to Alaska, forging checks, and stealing cars—lead eventually to an act of outrageous self-invention that releases him into as new world of possibility.

Dwight made a study of me.

Though it must have been a mild episode of withdrawal it did not seem mild to me, especially since I didn't know what it was, or that it would come to an end. Knowing that everything comes to an end is a gift of experience, a consolation gift for knowing that we ourselves are coming to an end. Before we get it we live in a continuous present, and imagine the future as more of that present. Happiness is endless happiness, innocent of its own sure passing. Pain is endless pain.

It takes a childish or corrupt imagination to make symbols of other people. I didn't know the Welches. I had no right to see them this way. I had no right to feel fear or pity or disgust, no right to feel anything but sorry for what I had done. I did feel these things, though. A kind of panic came over me. I couldn't take a good breath. All I wanted was to get away.

我来犹他州，并不是为了继续当过去的那个男孩。

我父亲听到风声，从康涅狄格州打来电话，坚决不许我换掉他给我取的名字。他说这是一个古老家族的名字。其实这不是真的，它仅仅只是听起来好像如此，正如他在古董店购买的家具只是看上去像是祖传家具而已，他为自己设计的盾徽也只是看上去像是来自某位骁勇男爵的，这位男爵终其一生都在与萨拉森人血战，他沿着泥泞的道路冲锋陷阵，道路两旁都是农民和自由民。

我们本来也可以过上那样的生活。在犹他州，真的有人可以一夜暴富。并不一定非要当上采矿工程师或矿物学家才能赚钱，只需要一个盖革计数器，就能致富。我们正前往铀矿，在那里，母亲将找到一份工作，并擦亮眼晴，处处留神。一且她摸到门道，便会开始勘探自己的铀矿。
