$ 560 元 原價 560

Fates and Furies is a literary masterpiece that defies expectation. A dazzling examination of a marriage, it is also a portrait of creative partnership written by one of the best writers of her generation. Every story has two sides. Every relationship has two perspectives. And sometimes, it turns out, the key to a great marriage is not its truths but its secrets.

At the core of this rich, expansive, layered novel, Lauren Groff presents the story of one such marriage over the course of twenty-four years. At age twenty-two, Lotto and Mathilde are tall, glamorous, madly in love, and destined for greatness. A decade later, their marriage is still the envy of their friends, but with an electric thrill we understand that things are even more complicated and remarkable than they have seemed.

With stunning revelations and multiple threads, and in prose that is vibrantly alive and original, Groff delivers a deeply satisfying novel about love, art, creativity, and power that is unlike anything that has come before it. Profound, surprising, propulsive, and emotionally riveting, it stirs both the mind and the heart.


《Fates and Furies》絕對是超乎預期的文學巨作,出自傑出作家蘿倫.葛洛芙,本書深刻探究一樁婚姻,並描繪出夫妻間的創意夥伴關係。每個故事都兩面,而每段關係也有兩種觀點。往往完美婚姻並不在於表面坦誠相對,而是保有各自的私密。

作者在故事核心即呈現出維持了二十四年的這般婚姻,內容豐富、觸及甚廣且層次多元。洛特和馬蒂妲同為二十二歲,兩位高挑的俊男美女正值熱戀,前程似錦。十年過後,他們的婚姻仍令身旁朋友所稱羨,然而讀者會驚覺,這樁婚姻比表面看到的還要複雜。

作者在書中安排出人意料的告白、層層堆疊的情節佐以創意生動的敘述,這部膾炙人口的作品關乎愛、藝術、創造力與前所未有的力量,讀來深刻、驚奇,極富情感張力,挑動讀者的理性和感性。
