內容簡介

內容簡介 這本萬眾期待的小說是《拯救書籍的貓》這部全球暢銷書榜首之作的續集，帶來一個充滿希望的日本故事，描述一隻會說話的貓、一位熱愛書籍的女孩，以及書籍改變世界的力量。十三歲的南美因為患有慢性哮喘，無法參加體育活動或放學後與朋友一起玩耍，但這並無法阻止她從事最喜愛的活動之一——閱讀。南美熱愛閱讀，大部分閒暇時間都愉快地待在圖書館中，沉浸於書架之間。然而，有一天，南美注意到，即使圖書館依然像往常一樣空蕩，某些她最喜歡的書籍，包括《怪盜紳士亞森．羅賓》和《綠山牆的安妮》等經典名著卻逐漸從書架上消失。當她向圖書館工作人員反映這件事時，卻被輕視。但就在她準備繼續閱讀時，她發現一名穿著灰色西裝的可疑男子。為了弄清楚對方的意圖，她決定跟蹤他。然而，由於哮喘發作，她不得不中斷追蹤，等她緩過氣來時，那名男子已經消失不見，只剩下一道神秘的光芒穿透圖書館熟悉的走廊。這時，拯救書籍的會說話的虎斑貓「老虎」出現，來到南美身邊。南美與老虎是否已經做好準備，迎接即將到來的危險挑戰？為什麼那些沒有面孔的灰色士兵會在石堡中焚燒書籍？而曾與老虎在二手書店中拯救書籍的隱居少年仁太郎，究竟發生了什麼事？在全球範圍內書籍被禁的情況日益增加之際，夏川草介藉由這部小說提醒我們，不要低估偉大文學的力量——並且要準備好捍衛我們選擇閱讀的自由。由露易絲‧希爾‧卡懷（Louise Heal Kawai）從日文翻譯而成。The long-awaited sequel to the #1 international bestseller The Cat Who Saved Books—an uplifting tale from Japan about a talking cat, a book-loving girl and the power of books to make a difference in the world.A chronic asthma condition prevents thirteen-year-old Nanami from playing sports or spending time with her friends after school. But nothing can stop her from one of her favorite activities. Nanami loves to read and happily spends much of her free time in the library, cocooned among the stacks.Then one day, Nanami notices that, despite the library being as deserted as ever, some of her favorite books, including literary classics like Arsène Lupin, Gentleman Thief and Anne of Green Gables are disappearing from the shelves. When she alerts the library staff, they dismiss her concerns. But just as Nanami is about to return to her reading, she spots a suspicious man in a gray suit. Eager to discover what he’s up to, she follows him. The chase is cut short when Nanami suffers an asthma attack. By the time she catches her breath, the man has disappeared and all that is left behind is a mysterious light filtering through the library’s familiar passageways.That’s when Tiger, the talking tabby cat who saves books, comes to the rescue. Are Nanami and Tiger prepared to face the dangerous challenges that lie ahead? Why are faceless gray soldiers burning books in a stone castle? And what happened to Rintaro, the socially withdrawn hero who helped Tiger save books in a second-hand bookshop? At a time of increased book bannings worldwide, Sosuke Natsukawa urges us not to underestimate the power of great literature—and to be prepared to defend our freedom to choose.Translated from the Japanese by Louise Heal Kawai
