敘述英國當代著名天文物理學家史蒂芬霍金與第一任妻子間的故事。內容著重在霍金的早期­生活,霍金和第一任妻子珍在劍橋相識,在他被診斷出患有肌萎縮性脊髓側索硬化症(俗稱­:漸凍人症)後,兩人決心要長相廝守,克服一切困境。

改編自潔恩霍金的回憶錄《Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen》,由《偷天鋼索人》導演詹姆士馬許執導,《悲慘世界》艾迪瑞德曼、《愛瘋了》費莉絲蒂瓊斯主演,敘述英國當代著名天文物理學家史蒂芬霍金與第一任妻子間的故事。

1963年的史蒂芬(艾迪瑞德曼飾演)在著名英國劍橋大學主修宇宙學,他在學術研究上意氣風發,立志為宇宙找出一個「簡潔有力的理論」,同時也因為和同是劍橋學生、主修文科的潔恩懷爾德陷入愛河。不過,這個健康活躍的大男孩在21歲的時候遭遇晴天霹靂,不幸被診斷出罹患運動神經元疾病,他將失去肢體活動的能力,連說話都會受影響,而且只剩兩年壽命。

潔恩對史蒂芬有著堅定不移的愛、支持和決心,兩人終成連理。有了妻子在身旁陪他奮鬥不懈,史蒂芬拒絕接受診斷的事實。潔恩鼓勵史蒂芬完成博士學業,包括他一開始想出來的宇宙誕生理論。他們組成了家庭,史蒂芬也順利成為備受推崇的博士,並開啟了生平最雄心壯志的研究主題,同時對他來說是最彌足珍貴的東西:時間。

雖然身體每況愈下,但他的心智卻能持續突破物理學的界線。他和潔恩克服了不可能的難關,跌破了醫學和科學界的眼鏡,到達他們所想像不到的境界,一直到21世紀。

 




In this compelling memoir his first wife, Jane Hawking, relates the inside story of their extraordinary marriage. As Stephen's academic renown soared, his body was collapsing under the assaults of motor neurone disease, and Jane's candid account of trying to balance his 24-hour care with the needs of their growing family will be inspirational to anyone dealing with family illness. The inner-strength of the author, and the self-evident character and achievements of her husband, make for an incredible tale that is always presented with unflinching honesty; the author's candour is no less evident when the marriage finally ends in a high-profile meltdown, with Stephen leaving Jane for one of his nurses, while Jane goes on to marry an old family friend. In this exceptionally open, moving and often funny memoir, Jane Hawking confronts not only the acutely complicated and painful dilemmas of her first marriage, but also the faultlines exposed in a relationship by the pervasive effects of fame and wealth. The result is a book about optimism, love and change that will resonate with readers everywher
