這本出版社也是下重本了,不僅紙質好,在書的左頁下角印有芭蕾舞動作的圖案,快速翻頁時,會有類似跳芭蕾舞般的連續動畫。但四章中只有前兩章有動畫感,後兩章的圖都是固定動作,不知道設計的構想是什麼。
說回書本身。前三章是主角春身邊的親友對他的描述,最後一章是春第一人稱自述。透過這樣的方式描寫春的芭蕾舞世界。
雖然出版社的文案說不懂芭蕾舞的人也可進入那個世界,但我得承認我還是有點無法。作者把她心中的【音樂、編舞、舞蹈動作】化成文字,但對音樂及舞蹈基本知識量不足的人來說,想像的畫面還是會有差距。
另本書的翻譯雖然有少數的地方翻得怪怪的,但要跟得上作者提到那麼多舞蹈及音樂的背景知識,也是相當不容易了!

對芭蕾舞及音樂基礎知識不足的我,閱讀體驗是三星。
但很佩服作者能創作出這樣的作品,所以四星。

摘句:
「人類認為『自己是自由的』、『可以依自己的意志做選擇』,但那只是幻想吧?就算自以為是依自己的意志做選擇,其實還是受到了別人的影響。」144頁

西行法師有一首很有名的詩。
願在春日花下死,二月十五月圓時。

恩田的作品中一直都有異質於世界的角色,我很喜歡恩田描寫的異質的生存方式。
但近期的《蜜蜂與遠雷》和這本,這樣的異質角色都是以天才的形象出現,相比於之前的作品,角色顯得浮於世界之外,明明角色應該要更為靈動,但作者的靈動反而消失了。
