The Humans

內容簡介

內容簡介 劍橋大學教授安德魯‧馬丁最近看起來很奇怪，他開始對食物作嘔，覺得每天西裝筆挺根本要他的命，對家裡的妻子和小孩也缺乏耐心與關懷，他現在最喜歡的生物是牛頓(一隻狗)。因為，他其實不是真正的安德魯‧馬丁，「他」只是喬裝的外星人，利用安德魯的外觀做掩護在地球執行祕密任務。他恨不得趕快完成任務，回到最愛的星球，但日子一天天過下去，他慢慢地對人類這種生物改觀，人類不是只會發動戰爭和破壞生態環境的愚蠢之徒，人類還會創作美好的詩歌和美味的葡萄酒，他甚至逐漸從安德魯的生活，體會何謂愛和親情…但任務的時限眼看就要到來，他該如何做出抉擇？THERE'S NO PLANET LIKE HOMEAfter an 'incident' one wet Friday night where he was found walking naked through the streets of Cambridge, Professor Andrew Martin is not feeling quite himself. Food sickens him. Clothes confound him. Even his loving wife and teenage son are repulsive to him. He feels lost amongst an alien species and hates everyone on the planet. Everyone, that is, except Newton, (and he's a dog).Who is he really? And what could make someone change their mind about the human race?

各界推薦

各界推薦 "Matt Haig's hilarious novel puts our species on the spot" ― Guardian"A wonderfully funny, gripping and inventive novel. Like Kurt Vonnegut and Audrey Niffenegger, Haig uses the tropes of science fiction to explore and satirise concepts of free will, love, marriage, logic, immortality and mercy with elegance and poignancy" ― The Times"Great idea, great plot and superb comedy, especially from the alien's puzzled analyses of primitive human ways" ― Daily Mail"Matt Haig is a supreme talent and a writer to cherish, and The Humans is undoubtedly his magnum opus" ― Guardian"A novel with an enormous heart, infused with a sense of gratitude for everything that makes us who we are" -- Charlotte Heathcote ― Daily Express"Haig's unexpectedly raw tale of love, belonging, and peanut butter . . . Funny, clever and quite, quite lovely" -- Sam Baker ― Sunday Times"Excellent . . . very human and touching indeed" -- PATRICK NESS"The Humans is tremendous; a kind of Curious Incident meets The Man Who Fell to Earth. It's funny, touching and written in a highly appealing voice" -- JOANNE HARRIS"The Humans is a laugh-and-cry book. Troubling, thrilling, puzzling, believable and impossible. Matt Haig uses words like a tin-opener. We are the tin" -- JEANETTE WINTERSON"A brilliant exploration of what it is to love, and to be human, The Humans is both heartwarming and hilarious, weird, and utterly wonderful. One of the best books I've read in a very long time" -- S.J. WATSON
