Theo of Golden

內容簡介

內容簡介 在一個春天的早晨，一名陌生人來到南方小城 Golden。沒有人知道他從何而來——或是為何而來。他的名字是 Theo。而他提出的問題，遠比他回答的多。Theo 走進當地的一家咖啡館，牆上掛著九十二幅鉛筆素描——皆為這座城市的居民，由一位本地藝術家所繪。他開始一幅又一幅地買下這些素描，並將它們交回給「真正的擁有者」。每一次的交付，都是一段故事的展開、一段友誼的誕生，以及一個人生軌跡的轉變。《Theo of Golden》是一個關於「給予與接受」、「看見與被看見」的故事。這部精雕細琢的小說探討了創意慷慨的力量、驚奇之心對於有意義人生的重要性，以及把我們彼此聯繫起來的那些無形且溫柔的善意之線。One spring morning, a stranger arrives in the small southern city of Golden. No one knows where he has come from…or why…His name is Theo. And he asks a lot more questions than he answers.Theo visits the local coffeehouse, where ninety-two pencil portraits hang on the walls, portraits of the people of Golden done by a local artist. He begins purchasing them, one at a time, and putting them back in the hands of their “rightful owners.” With each exchange, a story is told, a friendship born, and a life altered.A story of giving and receiving, of seeing and being seen, Theo of Golden is a beautifully crafted novel about the power of creative generosity, the importance of wonder to a purposeful life, and the invisible threads of kindness that bind us to one another.
