Onset: Bamboo Script (Hardcover)

by Wang Shuo

《起初·竹书》是四卷本长篇小说《起初》中的二卷,本卷取材自《竹书纪年》和《穆天子传》。 王朔以这两本史书为基础,讲述了从五帝时代到西周共和年间中国出现确切历史纪年为止的种种故事。从尧舜禅让,到后羿代夏,从伊尹放太甲,到成康之治,从穆王西巡,到周召共和,王朔以丰富无比的想象力为极尽简省的古奥史书赋予了生命力。让后羿、伯靡、周公、穆王、李耳等众多只存在于典籍、神话之中的人物活色生香地出现在我们面前。尤其是作为本书精华的穆天子西巡部分,以一场横跨欧亚大陆的史诗式旅程,呈现了通达天地的时代精神以及四海之内皆兄弟的雄伟气魄。

前几页相对晦涩，文绉绉的，但我劝你一定坚持下来。因为从后羿开始，王朔本性暴露无遗，保你带着笑读完全本！

王大爷太能编了。竹书纪年，穆天子传，就这么几个残本简册，就搞出浩浩荡荡近五百页。读起来还是挺过瘾的。好像是听了一场几天几夜的说书剧场。
