George Falls Through Time

內容簡介

內容簡介 「極具娛樂性且才華橫溢。」——加勒德·康利（Garrard Conley） 「情感豐沛、啟發人心。」——史蒂芬·羅利（Steven Rowley） 「幽默、驚喜、深刻。」——格蘭特·金德（Grant Ginder） 「讓人愛不釋手。」——露娜·麥克納馬拉（Luna McNamara）當《紐約時報》暢銷作《賴斯》（Less）遇上西元 1300 年——這是一部令人振奮、深思且跨越類型的文學小說。故事講述一名男子在極度焦慮的時刻意外穿越時空，他原本充滿現代焦慮的生活，被中世紀的殘酷現實所取代。剛被解僱的喬治，其家中的網路帳單還寫著前男友的名字；他的公寓裡蜘蛛橫行，而他在倫敦代領散步的六隻狗中，剛好有兩隻掙脫逃跑了。就在這純粹且毫無保留的壓力下，喬治陷入了混亂的漩渦，一路墜落回到了西元 1300 年。當喬治醒來時，他認出了同樣綿延起伏的格林威治公園山丘，但現代生活的便利與手機收訊早已消失無蹤。取而代之的是操著古怪、偏斜方言的當地人，他們對他身上的異國服飾感到驚奇，並迅速將他投入地牢。儘管身處野蠻的中世紀世界，一名叫西蒙（Simon）的僕人仍幫助喬治適應這種更簡單、更單純的生存方式——直到國王的召見，可能讓他好不容易安穩下來的生活毀於一旦。《喬治墜入時間》既是一場內在心靈的探索，也是一場外在冒險的旅程。它深入探討了身份與流離失所，將現代感性與原始且陌生的背景相對比，為現代生活的荒謬焦慮提供了一塊奇妙而完美的畫布。這是一部對慾望本質的深刻沉思，非常適合瑪德琳·米勒（Madeline Miller）以及《時間管理部》（The Ministry of Time）的書迷。GEORGE FALLS THROUGH TIME IS. . ."Incredibly entertaining and intelligent." —GARRARD CONLEY"Big-hearted and inspired." —STEVEN ROWLEY"Funny, surprising, profound." —GRANT GINDER"Unputdownable." —LUNA MCNAMARALess meets the year 1300 in this exhilarating and thoughtfully genre-defying literary novel about a man transported through time in a moment of extreme stress, whose modern anxieties are replaced by medieval brutalitiesNewly laid off George’s internet bill is in his ex-boyfriend’s name. He’s got a spider-infested apartment, and two of the six dogs he’s walking in London have just escaped. It’s pure undiluted stress that sends him into a spiral, all the way to the year 1300.When he comes to, George recognizes the same rolling hills of Greenwich Park. But the luxuries and phone service of modernity are nowhere. In their place are locals with a bizarre, slanted speech in awe of his foreign clothes, who swiftly toss him in a dungeon. Despite the barbarity of a medieval world, a servant named Simon helps George acclimate to a simpler, easier existence—until a summons from the King threatens to send his life up in flames.George Falls Through Time isas much an inward journey as an outward one: an immersive exploration of identity and dislocation that pits present-day sensibilities against a raw and alien backdrop, a strangely perfect canvas for the absurd anxieties of our modern lives. It's a profound meditation on the nature of desire perfect for fans of Madeline Miller and The Ministry of Time.
