From the highly acclaimed, multiple award-winning Anthony Doerr, the beautiful, stunningly ambitious instant New York Times bestseller about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II.
Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.
In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge.
Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).
Longlisted for the 2014 National Book Award for Fiction
##我太愛這個故事瞭。以至於覺得自己什麼都做錯而對不起它。
評分##Reminded me so much of The Book Thief。
評分##文筆好
評分這本小說給我兩個意外,一是創作緣起,Doerr說,2004年他在紐約地鐵上看見一位在打電話的乘客因手機失去信號而很生氣,他想到我們是不是忘記瞭能這樣和遠方的人通話是一種奇跡,於是他決定創作一部重現無綫電廣播對上世紀二三十年代的人而言是一種怎樣的奇跡的作品;二是小說的寫法,所有章節短得齣奇,幾乎沒有一個章超過10頁,雖然乍看是一本超過500頁的厚小說,讀起來卻毫無壓力,而作者坦承這是為瞭親近讀者a gesture of friendliness,讓讀者在高度凝練綿密詩意的行文中有休息的空隙。文學不該迎閤讀者,但文學作品寫齣來是希望被閱讀被用來交流,這是我最喜愛欽佩的創作態度。
