Music Against the Night

內容簡介

內容簡介 「這可能是我讀過結構最完美、最動人且最美麗的小說。」——安·帕契特（ANN PATCHETT）備受讚譽的普立茲獎得主李翊雲回歸之作，帶來一部氣勢磅礡的歷史史詩，追隨兩位崛起中的非凡音樂家的足跡。在十八世紀接近尾聲的都柏林，一位年輕的音樂大師正值成名之際。約翰·費爾德能夠聽到空氣中的音符，他的家族渴望他能成為下一個莫扎特。他的才華帶領他走向遠方——前往英國、法國，然後是俄羅斯，在那裡他成為了一名著名的鋼琴家，並創作了迷醉夜空的夢幻旋律。約翰將它們稱為「夜曲」，但讓這些旋律流芳百世的神童卻是蕭邦。在汪洋之外的法屬印度朋迪榭里，阿德萊德·佩什隆也展開了她自己令人驚嘆的崛起之路。她自幼父母雙亡，由事業心強的祖母撫養長大。在沒有奢華財富的情況下，似乎只有婚姻才能帶來富足——直到她將目光投向了一台鋼琴。在對音樂之愛的驅使下，她精心策劃了自己的出走，逃往巴黎，隨後前往莫斯科，此時拿破崙的軍隊正準備征服歐洲大陸。李翊雲這部大氣磅礡的小說中，穿插著互為勁敵的天才、暴躁的導師和心懷怨懟的監護人，描繪了兩位追求成功且注定要成為夫妻的抱負音樂家。當約翰和阿德萊德各自試圖在才華與天賦、利益與激情之間開闢出一條道路時，他們必須決定，在這一路上有什麼、甚至有誰，是值得去犧牲的。從過去中汲取靈感，卻尋找到了全然嶄新的形式。‘May well be the most perfectly constructed, moving, and beautiful novel I've ever read’ ANN PATCHETTAcclaimed Pulitzer-Prize winner Yiyun Li, returns with a sweeping historical epic, following two extraordinary musicians on the rise.In Dublin, as the eighteenth century nears its end, a young musical virtuoso comes of age. John Field is able to hear notes in the air, and his family aspires for him to become the next Mozart. His talent takes him far – to England, France, and then Russia, where he becomes a famous pianist and composes dreamy melodies that enchant the night air. John calls them nocturnes, but the prodigy who immortalizes them is Chopin.Oceans away in Pondicherry, French India, Adelaide Percheron embarks on a startling rise of her own. Orphaned at a young age, she is raised by her enterprising grandmother. Without the luxury of riches, only marriage seems to offer prosperity – until she sets her sights on a pianoforte. Driven by her love of music, she engineers her exodus, escaping to Paris and later to Moscow, as Napoleon’s army sets out to conquer the continent.Peopled by rival prodigies, irate tutors and begrudging guardians, Yiyun Li’s magisterial novel depicts two aspiring musicians – destined to be husband and wife – in pursuit of success. As John and Adelaide each try to chart a path between talent and genius, profit and passion, they must decide what, and even who, is worth sacrificing along the way.Drawing inspiration from the past but finding entirely new forms
