WINNER NOBEL LITERATURE PRIZE 2018
WINNER MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE 2018
波蘭知名小說家朵卡萩2018年以小說《暫譯雲遊者》獲得2018諾貝爾文學獎和2018英國布克獎殊榮，她也是波蘭首位摘布克獎項的作家。

（Flights）是朵卡萩第5部長篇小說作品，出版於2007年。這部小說的主題探討旅行與人類解剖等，時間線從17世紀至當代，橫跨數個世紀，小說裡的各個故事互有關聯，包括17世紀荷蘭解剖家費爾海恩（Philip Verheyen）解剖自己遭截肢的腿，費爾海恩死後，他的學生尋找當年那隻腿以完成葬禮，另外還有當代一位移民紐西蘭的波蘭女子重返母國，下毒殺害現已病入膏肓的學生時期情人。

英國《金融時報》（Financial Times）讚譽《雲遊者》是「我們這個瘋狂時代的哲學故事」。

Flights, a novel about travel in the twenty-first century and human anatomy, is Olga Tokarczuk's most ambitious to date. It interweaves travel narratives and reflections on travel with an in-depth exploration of the human body, broaching life, death, motion, and migration. From the seventeenth century, we have the story of the Dutch anatomist Philip Verheyen, who dissected and drew pictures of his own amputated leg. From the eighteenth century, we have the story of a North African-born slave turned Austrian courtier stuffed and put on display after his death. In the nineteenth century, we follow Chopin's heart as it makes the covert journey from Paris to Warsaw. In the present we have the trials of a wife accompanying her much older husband as he teaches a course on a cruise ship in the Greek islands, and the harrowing story of a young husband whose wife and child mysteriously vanish on a holiday on a Croatian island. With her signature grace and insight, Olga Tokarczuk guides the reader beyond the surface layer of modernity and towards the core of the very nature of humankind.
