All the Light We Cannot See

★2015年普立茲得獎小說★《紐約時報》讀者票選125年來最佳書籍。

在最黑暗的時代裡，渴望探索未知世界的孩子，發現改變命運的光。

雙目失明的瑪莉蘿兒，一直住在巴黎自然歷史博物館附近，她的父親負責保管博物館內上千把鑰匙。六歲開始看不見的她，在十二歲那年，因為納粹攻陷巴黎，父女兩人立刻帶著館內最有價值的寶物逃往濱海古城聖馬洛，去那座有閣樓的房子，投靠叔公。

那是一顆名為「火海星鑽」的絕世寶石，傳說中凡是擁有寶石的人將可以長生不老，卻會給周圍的人帶來不幸。

故事另一頭，自小父母雙亡的德國少年韋納，與妹妹相依為命，因為擁有一臺無線電收音機，於是兄妹可以聽見自己不曾去過甚至想像過的地方的故事與消息。豈料，因為學會組裝和修理這類通訊設備的能力被上門的德軍發現後，納粹直接將未成年的韋納帶上戰場。

人人都希望在戰爭中活下來。而他們只是孩子。

作者以珍珠項鍊般的精妙結構，費時十年，完成一部格局宏偉的巨著。秉持博物學家的觀察力，在精密建築的小說宇宙中，從自然與時間的瞬息，甚至小至肉眼看不見的東西，世間處處藏著人類意想不到的珍貴寶物，種種事物在安東尼‧杜爾筆下展露繁複驚奇的模樣。究竟光是什麼？這是一個古老的問題。這本書使人相信，即使眼前漆黑一片，也絕對不要放棄希望。

你期待看見什麼？

命運總是以始料未及的方式將人們交織在一起。
所有意想不到的相遇，無論幸或不幸，都將熱烈地活在人們心中。

*NOW A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES—from producer and director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) starring Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti*

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, the beloved instant New York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review Top 10 Book about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II.

Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.

In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge.
