內容簡介
內容簡介 1620年的一個漆黑夜晚，克里斯滕澤·克魯考（Christenze Krukow）製作了那個蠟娃娃。她熔化蜂蠟，塑造成一個小小人形。數日來，她將蠟娃娃夾在腋下，用體溫塑形，賦予它生命。她為它做了無法張開的眼睛與耳朵，然而——它能觀察，能傾聽。它目睹克里斯滕澤被謠言纏身，聽見人們低語的話語。它看見她在燭光下滿懷愛意凝視朋友，聽見他們在暗處的言語。它熟悉松林、霧氣籠罩的峽灣，以及燃燒火葬台的劈啪聲。它目睹人眼中的暴力和法律的殘酷。隨著時間流逝，它開始明白，一旦巫術的嫌疑纏身，就難以擺脫…… 《蠟娃娃》（The Wax Child）改編自17世紀丹麥著名的巫術審判，出自當代最受讚譽且獨具風格的作家歐嘉·拉文（Olga Ravn）之手，是一部令人著迷且驚懼的新小說，生動展現了巫術與魔法曾如土地與海水般真實存在於人心的年代。It was a black night in the year 1620 when Christenze Krukow made the wax child, when she melted down beeswax and set it in the image of a small human. For days, she carried it tucked beneath her arm, shaping it with the warmth of her flesh, giving it life. She fashioned for it eyes and ears that cannot open, and yet – it watches and listens.It looks on as Christenze is haunted by rumour, it hears what the people whisper. It sees how, in the candlelight, she gazes with love at her friends, and hears the things they say in the shadows. It knows pine forest, misty fjord and the crackle of the burning pyre. It observes the violence in men’s eyes and the cruelty of their laws. In time, it begins to understand that once a suspicion of witchcraft has taken hold, it can prove impossible to shake…Based on an infamous seventeenth century Danish witch trial, The Wax Child is the extraordinary new novel from Olga Ravn, one of the most acclaimed and original writers at work today: a mesmerising, frightening vision of a time when witches and magic were as real to the human mind as soil and seawater.
