文壇大師石黑一雄闊別文壇10年最新小說創作
石黑一雄以後人類為主題的"Never Let Me Go"和布克獎得獎作品"The Remains of the Day"最廣為讀者所知。這次，背景來到經歷羅馬大軍摧殘，戰後有如廢墟的大不列顛，年邁夫妻Axl和Beatrice決定踏上旅程尋找久違愛子，除了外在艱險還得面對各自情感的幽微角落。同時，這趟旅行也迎來的意外的旅伴，而每位旅人都將不可避免的被過往回憶所牽絆，在遺忘和記憶間走向生命不同的方向。
In post-Arthurian Britain, the wars that once raged between the Saxons and the Britons have finally ceased. Axl and Beatrice, an elderly British couple, set off to visit their son, whom they haven’t seen in years. And, because a strange mist has caused mass amnesia throughout the land, they can scarcely remember anything about him. As they are joined on their journey by a Saxon warrior, his orphan charge, and an illustrious knight, Axl and Beatrice slowly begin to remember the dark and troubled past they all share. By turns savage, suspenseful, and intensely moving, The Buried Giant is a luminous meditation on the act of forgetting and the power of memory, an extraordinary tale of love, vengeance, and war.
