Kuang(匡靈秀)全新力作《KATABASIS》,是一部融合經典與魔法、學術與陰影的深淵冒險。Katabasis ˌkatəˈbeɪsɪs (名詞,古希臘語):英雄下行冥界的故事。愛麗絲・羅(Alice Law)一生的目標只有一個:成為魔法學界最耀眼的學者。她犧牲了一切:自尊、健康、愛情,甚至理智,只為能在劍橋追隨當代最偉大的魔法師——雅各・葛萊姆斯教授(Jacob Grimes)——學習。直到他在一次魔法事故中喪命,而她可能就是肇因。現在,葛萊姆斯在地獄,而她,準備追隨而去。因為他的推薦信仍攸關她的學術未來,而死亡,絕不能阻止她逐夢的腳步。問題是——她的學術死對頭彼得・莫鐸(Peter Murdoch)也正踏上相同的道路。攜手但不和諧,他們帶著但丁與奧菲斯的古老傳說、一袋畫符粉筆,以及對意義的燃燒渴望,一同踏入地獄。但這場「英雄之降」遠比他們想像中更可怕:● 地獄不是童話中的模樣● 魔法並非萬靈丹● 他們的過去,也許會讓彼此成為完美戰友——也可能導致徹底毀滅
各界推薦 「充滿隱喻與幻象,匡靈秀帶領讀者走上一段機智、血腥又驚心動魄的旅程。她毫不留情地揭露學術界的權力陷阱與荒謬體系,同時從未忘記——脆弱的人心才是真正的核心。」——紐約時報暢銷榜冠軍作家 黎・巴杜戈(Leigh Bardugo)「這不只是一部令人著迷、感人至深的小說,而是一場完整的體驗。匡靈秀的《Katabasis》讓我一頁接一頁無法自拔,我真心羨慕那些還沒讀過的人。」——《神諭雙星》Divine Rivals 作者,紐約時報榜首作家 瑞貝卡・羅斯(Rebecca Ross)「這是一部充滿思想力量的小說,匡靈秀的創造力閃耀奪目,文字如絲滑般自然流暢。Katabasis 是一部強而有力、歷久彌新的作品,註定成為現代經典。」——《六人地圖集》作者 奧莉薇・布雷克(Olivie Blake)「多麼精彩的冒險!《Katabasis》是一部技藝精湛的鉅作——博學、機智又富哲思,從頭至尾充滿驚喜與快感,結局更是令人滿足。我非常喜歡!」——《萬門之書》作者 加雷斯・布朗(Gareth Brown)「銳利得令人咋舌,又出乎意料地溫柔——下地獄,從未如此讓人興奮!」——《艾米娜的奇幻航行》作者 夏儂・查克拉波提(Shannon Chakraborty)「結合文學深度、流行張力與大膽創意,匡靈秀以獨特筆觸寫出一封對學院的愛與怒之書。」——《黑日獵人》作者 瑞貝卡・羅恩霍斯(Rebecca Roanhorse)「Katabasis 是一部對愛的哲學頌歌,也是匡靈秀身為小說家的又一次精彩突破。理性與地獄之下,藏著無窮生命力與對活著的深刻渴望。這場尋找意義的旅程,獻給所有在破碎世界中掙扎求生的靈魂。」——《女神的選擇》作者 瓦伊什納維・帕特爾(Vaishnavi Patel)Review"Rich with allusion and illusion, Kuang crafts a witty, gory, harrowing ride that thoroughly roasts the perils and power structures of academia, while never losing sight of what it means to have a fragile, human heart." — #1 New York Times bestselling author, Leigh Bardugo“A spellbinding and poignant story that had me riveted to the pages, R.F. Kuang’s KATABASIS is more than a novel to savor. This book is an experience. I envy those who get to read it for the first time.” — Rebecca Ross, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals “This is a book of ideas, and as such, Kuang’s creativity shines, her vehicle for story a prose that’s smooth as butter. Katabasis is a formidable, timeless work, destined to be a modern classic.” — Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six“What an adventure! Katabasis is a tour de force – literate, witty, and wise, it thrills and delights all the way to a hugely satisfying conclusion. I enjoyed it tremendously.” — Gareth Brown, international bestselling author of The Book of Doors"Wickedly sharp and unexpectedly sweet, going to hell has never been this entertaining." — Shannon Chakraborty, New York Times bestselling author of The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi“A balance of literary deep thinking, pop commercial fun, and outrageous audacity. Kuang uniquely and authentically writes the Academy with the right mix of love and rage.” — Rebecca Roanhorse, New York Times bestselling author"A philosophical tribute to love, Katabasis is the latest master turn by a master novelist. Under the surface of R.F. Kuang’s rigorous treatment of logic and hell is an endless reservoir of vitality and a deep thirst for life. This timeless search for meaning is for any reader struggling to find purpose in a deeply flawed world." — Vaishnavi Patel, New York Times bestselling author of Kaikeyi
