內容簡介
內容簡介 即將於今年聖誕節在美國上映的Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close，改編自同名小說，由「為愛朗讀」導演、「阿甘正傳」編劇，以及湯姆漢克斯及珊卓布拉克等黃金陣容演出。作品描寫一名滿腦子奇想的九歲小男孩，在居住的紐約公寓中，無意間發現在911喪生的父親遺留下來的一把鑰匙。他決定開始一連串的尋找之旅，想找到屬於這把鑰匙的櫃子。翻遍了電話簿、走遍了紐約市，從中央公園到康尼島，再到哈林區，一路上一邊構思著能夠保護家人的救難發明，一邊遇到許多事件的倖存者。最後意想不到的高潮結局，讓玉石做成的心也心碎。以Everything Is Illuminated一舉成名的作家Jonathan Safran Foer，在小說穿插著圖片、照片與不同的字體，使本書讀來更有一番滋味。Nine-year-old Oskar Schell is an inventor, amateur entomologist, Francophile, letter writer, pacifist, natural historian, percussionist, romantic, Great Explorer, jeweller, detective, vegan, and collector of butterflies. When his father is killed in the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Centre, Oskar sets out to solve the mystery of a key he disovers in his father's closet. It is a search which leads him into the lives of strangers, through the five boroughs of New York, into history, to the bombings of Dresden and Hiroshima, and on an inward journey which brings him ever closer to some kind of peace.
