內容簡介
本書為英國二○○四年曼氏布克獎得主，也是英國布克獎成立36年來首度闖越性與權力禁區的精彩作品，藝文圈一致好評！
尼克低喃了一聲，接受挑戰。這是他第一次看見里歐全裸，看見他臉上慵懶地觀察，輕鬆地譏諷，時而機靈時而遲鈍的面具暗影融化為赤裸裸的感受。里歐用嘴巴呼吸，表情看在尼克眼裡不只因慾望而苦，還有自責——怪自己怎會如此遲鈍，如此虛榮，如此盲目。
尼克低喃了一聲，接受挑戰。這是他第一次看見里歐全裸，看見他臉上慵懶地觀察，輕鬆地譏諷，時而機靈時而遲鈍的面具暗影融化為赤裸裸的感受。里歐用嘴巴呼吸，表情看在尼克眼裡不只因慾望而苦，還有自責——怪自己怎會如此遲鈍，如此虛榮，如此盲目。
一九八三年夏天，正值青春年華的尼克‧蓋斯特搬進費登家位於諾丁丘的豪宅閣樓。一家之主傑洛‧費登是野心勃勃的新任保守黨議員，女主人瑞秋出身顯赫，夫婦膝下有陶比和凱薩琳一雙兒女。尼克就讀牛津時就對陶比傾心，但住進費登家後，跟風波不斷、叛逆任性、見解犀利的凱薩琳結為密友，並惶惶負起照顧凱薩琳的責任。
八○年代中期英國社會蓬勃發展，出身微賤、對政治和財富純真又無知的尼克一腳踏入費登家的世界，尼克心思細膩，觀察敏銳，才思敏捷，周旋於豪華盛宴、勾心鬥角、既滑稽也駭人的眾生百態之中。尼克在這一切充滿可能的時代裡，得以追求對美的執迷；對他而言，美的收穫就如同權力和財富對其友人一樣動人心魄。與任職於地方政府的一名黑人文官相戀讓他初嚐愛情滋味，後來跟一名俊美的百萬富翁的戀情才讓他的生活產生巨變，意外成為（異性戀）政壇醜聞的擋箭牌，也讓殘酷年代的虛妄幻想隨之浮現。
小說時間設於讓柴契爾夫人重握大權的兩次大選之際。書中呈現了歷經巨變和傷痛的四年。文字飽滿，情感豐沛，是數一數二的英語作家的重要著作。

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF PICADOR BOOKS
Winner of the Man Booker Prize, The Line of Beauty is a classic novel about class, politics and sexuality in Margaret Thatcher’s 1980s Britain.
There was the soft glare of the flash – twice – three times – a gleaming sense of occasion, the gleam floating in the eye as a blot of shadow, his heart running fast with no particular need of courage as he grinned and said, ‘Prime Minister, would you like to dance?’
In the summer of 1983, twenty-year-old Nick Guest moves into an attic room in the Notting Hill home of the wealthy Feddens: Gerald, an ambitious Tory MP, his wife Rachel and their children Toby and Catherine. Innocent of politics and money, Nick is swept up into the Feddens’ world and an era of endless possibility, all the while pursuing his own private obsession with beauty.
The Line of Beauty is Alan Hollinghurst’s Man Booker Prize-winning masterpiece. It is a novel that defines a decade, exploring with peerless style a young man’s collision with his own desires, and with a world he can never truly belong to.
Part of the Picador Collection, a new series showcasing the best of modern literature.
