內容簡介

內容簡介 ★2026普立茲小說獎★《紐約時報》2025 年十大好書「這是一部節奏緊湊、令人窒息的一戰題材小說。作者展現了精湛的高難度風格，將寓言、魔幻現實主義與科幻小說等類型巧妙融合為一個有機整體，而整部小說僅由「一個句子」組成。」——普立茲獎評委備受讚譽、以《Whalefall》這部被《紐約時報》稱為「瘋狂精彩」作品聞名的作者，再次帶來一部沉浸感十足、宛如電影般的小說。故事講述五名第一次世界大戰士兵意外發現一位墜落天使，而這位天使或許掌握著終結戰爭的關鍵。二等兵西里爾・巴格（Cyril Bagger）憑藉機智與欺瞞，在這場慘絕人寰的大戰中苟且生存。然而，當他與另外四名步兵被賦予一項致命任務時，他的求生本能也將面臨終極考驗：深入危機四伏的無人地帶，替一名重傷同袍施以安樂死。然而，在滿目瘡痍的戰場上，他們發現的並不是一名等待解脫的士兵，而是一位墜落的天使——彷彿遭到砲火擊落。這位來自天界的存在，也許掌握著終結殘酷戰爭的關鍵，但前提是這群士兵必須壓抑各自的私慾，攜手合作。隨著嫉妒、貪婪與猜忌逐漸滋長，他們內心的黑暗也開始吞噬彼此，讓這場與天使的相遇一步步墜入地獄。《Angel Down》帶領讀者深入第一次世界大戰的核心，以多重視角交織出一則關於生存、超自然奇蹟與道德衝突的故事。★WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION★NEW YORK TIMES TOP TEN BOOKS OF 2025★NATIONAL BESTSELLER"A breathless novel of World War I, a stylistic tour-de-force that blends such genres as allegory, magical realism and science fiction into a cohesive whole, told in a single sentence." -- Pulitzer Prize Board 2025-2026The critically acclaimed author of the “crazily enjoyable” (The New York Times) Whalefall returns with an immersive, cinematic novel about five World War I soldiers who stumble upon a fallen angel that could hold the key to ending the war.Private Cyril Bagger has managed to survive the unspeakable horrors of the Great War through his wits and deception. But his survival instincts are put to the ultimate test when he and four other grunts are given a deadly mission: venture into the perilous No Man’s Land to euthanize a wounded comrade.What they find amid the ruined battlefield, however, is not a man in need of mercy but a fallen angel, seemingly struck down by artillery fire. This celestial being may hold the key to ending the brutal conflict, but only if the soldiers can suppress their individual desires and work together. As jealousy, greed, and paranoia take hold, the group is torn apart by their inner demons, threatening to turn their angelic encounter into a descent into hell.Angel Down plunges you into the heart of World War I and weaves a polyphonic tale of survival, supernatural wonder, and moral conflict.

各界推薦

各界推薦 "A thunderous gallop of a war novel, a new classic, a best-in-class example of speculative fiction. Mysterious and full of grace, rambling and ducking and shifting for 285 dizzying, blood-soaked, astonishing pages.” —New York Times Book Review[An] inventive metaphysical horror tale. . . . Kraus has a clear grasp on our worst impulses. An impressive and surprising take on war-story tropes." —Kirkus, (starred review)
