درباره داستان انگلیسی کتاب گورستان نوشته نیل گیمن :

“نوبادی اونز” ، که در بین دوستانش با نام “باد” شناخته می شود ، یک پسر کاملا عادی است. البته، اگر او در یک گورستان زندگی نمی کرد و توسط ارواح پرورش نمی یافت و آموزش نمی دید ، با یک سرپرست منزوی که نه به دنیای زنده ها و نه به دنیای مردگان تعلق ندارد ، کاملاً طبیعی می بود.

در حقیقت “باد”، پسری غیرمعمول است که در مکانی غیر معمول زندگی می کند و از دوران نوزادی توسط ارواح ، گرگ ها و سایر ساکنین گورستان بزرگ شده است و آداب و رسوم قدیمی و همچنین آموزش هایی مانند توانایی ناپدید شدن را آموخته است.

خطرات و ماجراهایی برای “باد” در قبرستان وجود دارد شامل تهدیدهای عجیب و وحشتناک، ورودی سنگ قبر به بیابانی که به شهر ارواح منتهی می شود، دوستی با جادوگر و موارد دیگر است اما خطر واقعی در سرزمین زنده هاست! زیرا در آنجا مردی به نام جک زندگی می کند که قبلاً خانواده “باد” را کشته است.

آیا پسری که ارواح بزرگ کرده اند می تواند با شگفتی ها و وحشت های دنیای زنده و مرده روبرو شود؟

توضیحات داستان انگلیسی  The Graveyard Book:

Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a perfectly normal boy. Well, he would be perfectly normal if he didn’t live in a graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor the world of the dead.

There are dangers and adventures for Bod in the graveyard: the strange and terrible menace of the Sleer; a gravestone entrance to a desert that leads to the city of ghouls; friendship with a witch, and so much more.

But it is in the land of the living that real danger lurks, for it is there that the man Jack lives and he has already killed Bod’s family.

A deliciously dark masterwork by bestselling author Neil Gaiman, with illustrations by award-winning Dave McKean.

The Graveyard Book Quotes

“You’re always you, and that don’t change, and you’re always changing, and there’s nothing you can do about it.”

“It’s like the people who believe they’ll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, but who learn it doesn’t work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you. If you see what I mean.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Graveyard Book

“Face your life, its pain, its pleasure, leave no path untaken.”

“Sleep my little baby-oh
Sleep until you waken
When you wake you’ll see the world
If I’m not mistaken…

Kiss a lover
Dance a measure,
Find your name
And buried treasure…

Face your life
Its pain,
Its pleasure,
Leave no path untaken.”

“If you dare nothing, then when the day is over, nothing is all you will have gained.”

“You’re alive, Bod. That means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything. If you can change the world, the world will change. Potential. Once you’re dead, it’s gone. Over. You’ve made what you’ve made, dreamed your dream, written your name. You may be buried here, you may even walk. But that potential is finished.”

“Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Graveyard Book

“Name the different kinds of people,’ said Miss Lupescu. ‘Now.’

Bod thought for a moment. ‘The living,’ he said. ‘Er. The dead.’ He stopped. Then, ‘… Cats?’ he offered, uncertainly.”

“People want to forget the impossible. It makes their world safer.”

Kiss a lover,
Dance a measure,
Find your name
And buried treasure.

Face your life,
It’s pain,
It’s pleasure,
Leave no path untaken.”

“You can’t trust other people. If it’s important, you have to do it yourself.”

“We who make stories know that we tell lies for a living. But they are good lies that say true things, and we owe it to our readers to build them as best we can. Because somewhere out there is someone who needs that story. Someone who will grow up with a different landscape, who without that story will be a different person. And who with that story may have hope, or wisdom, or kindness, or comfort. And that is why we write.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Graveyard Book

“You’re brave. You are the bravest person I know, and you are my friend. I don’t care if you are imaginary.”

“The tongue is the most remarkable. For we use it both to taste out sweet wine and bitter poison, thus also do we utter words both sweet and sour with the same tongue.”

“Bod said, ‘I want to see life. I want to hold it in my hands. I want to leave a footprint on the sand of a desert island. I want to play football with people. I want,’ he said, and then he paused and he thought. ‘I want everything.”

“Things bloosom in their time. They bud and bloom, blossom and fade. Everything in its time.”

“Be hole, be dust, be dream, be wind/Be night, be dark, be wish, be mind,/Now slip, now slide, now move unseen,/Above, beneath, betwixt, between.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Graveyard Book

“If you dare nothing,
then when the day is over,
nothing is all you will have gained.”

“You are obvious, boy. You are difficult to miss. If you came to me in company with a purple lion, a green elephant, and a scarlet unicorn astride which was the King of England in his Royal Robes, I do believe that it is you and you alone that people would stare at, dismissing the others as minor irrelevancies.”

“And there are always people who find their lives have become so unsupportable they believe the best thing they could do would be to hasten their transition to another plane of existence.’
‘They kill themselves, you mean?’ said Bod. […]
‘Indeed.’
‘Does it work? Are they happier dead?’
‘Sometimes. Mostly, no. It’s like the people who believe they’ll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, but who learn it doesn’t work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.”

“Because there are mysteries. Because there are things that people are forbidden to speak about. Because there are things they do not remember.”

“Truly, life is wasted on the living, Nobody Owens. For one of us is too foolish to live, and it is not I.”

“You are obvious, boy. You are difficult to miss. If you came to me in company with a purple lion, a green elephant, and a scarlet unicorn astride which was the King of England in his Royal Robes, I do believe that it is you and you alone that people would stare at, dismissing the others as minor irrelevancies.”

“If you dare nothing,
then when the day is over,
nothing is all you will have gained.”
