The Life of Chuck

內容簡介

內容簡介 史蒂芬・金的《查克的一生》，是一則關於生命與遺產的精彩故事──改編電影由麥克・弗拉納根執導，湯姆・希德斯頓、馬克・漢米爾、奇維托・艾吉佛和凱倫・吉蘭主演。 在一個因天災、基礎建設崩潰與群眾恐慌而逐漸瓦解的世界中，城鎮裡開始出現奇異的廣告牌與看板：「查爾斯・克蘭茲。精彩的三十九年。謝謝你，查克！」一位學校老師馬提・安德森對這些訊息著迷不已，彷彿整個世界與查克的生命有著難以解釋的聯繫，正朝著終結邁進。本書分為三幕，以倒敘方式呈現查克過往的生命。我們會看到他中年時在波士頓出差，被一名街頭藝人吸引，隨著音樂旋轉於人行道上，翩翩起舞；也會看到他年幼時期，住在一座隱藏可怕秘密的老屋中，與祖母學習跳舞。在這些篇章中，史蒂芬・金提醒我們：生活中那些日常的小確幸之所以如此珍貴，是因為它們短暫易逝──陰天連綿之後終於出現的一個美麗晴天、一支每個動作都恰到好處的舞、一場命中注定的邂逅。金描寫純粹喜悅的能力，與他擅長帶來恐懼的筆觸不相上下。現已改編為電影作品，並榮獲多倫多國際影展「觀眾票選獎」，《查克的一生》是一個關於社群、關於人性的光輝故事，是對喜悅、神祕、存在的驚奇，以及我們內心無盡可能的頌讚。Stephen King's 'The Life of Chuck' is a 'phenomenal' (USA Today) tale of life and legacy - and now a feature film directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Tom Hiddleston, Mark Hamill, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Karen Gillan. It is now available for the first time in a beautiful standalone edition.Originally featured in the acclaimed story collection If It Bleeds, this unforgettable, mind-bending tale unfolds in reverse, taking readers through the extraordinary life of Charles 'Chuck' Krantz.In a crumbling world plagued by natural disasters, collapsing infrastructure, and mass panic, bizarre billboards and advertisements appear throughout town: 'Charles Krantz. Thirty-nine great years. Thanks, Chuck!' Marty Anderson, a schoolteacher, becomes obsessed with these messages as the world, inexplicably linked to Chuck's life, seems to be approaching its end.Told in three acts, presented in reverse order, The Life of Chuck explores one man's past. We see him in middle age on a business trip in Boston as he is seduced by a busker into spinning a gorgeous sidewalk dance. And we see him as a child, in a house haunted by a terrible secret, learning to dance with his grandmother. In these pages King reminds us that life's quotidian pleasures are even more glorious because they are fleeting: the outrageous good fortune of a beautiful blue day after a string of gray ones; the delight of dancing when every move feels perfect; a serendipitous meeting. King's ability to describe pure joy rivals his ability to terrify us.Now a major motion picture and winner of the Toronto International Film Festival People's Choice Award, The Life of Chuck is a glorious story about community and about humanity at its best, a celebration of joy, mystery, existential wonder, and the multitudes contained in all of us.
