【逃離惡魔之境 何方是生命歸途】
2020年美國圖書獎決選作品
源自猶太民俗傳說，一場揉合宗教、文化與超自然的冒險旅程
將帶領讀者探討生命與死亡的邊界

對東歐的猶太人來說，惡魔無所不在－夜半漆黑中在屋頂上跳舞、集結在枝頭、盤旋死者旁、甚至千方百計要竊取生者的靈魂。

惡魔們有他們的所屬之地：一個住滿死者魂魄的遙遠國度，由惡魔大公、伯爵和地主們統治。

一晚，死亡天使漫步在圖皮克的小村莊，將兩個受選的孩子萊布與布魯瑪送往遙遠國度。他們將與遠古惡魔締結契約，向死亡宣戰，並盡可能找到方法復活...

For the Jews of Eastern Europe, demons are everywhere: dancing on the rooftops in the darkness of midnight, congregating in the trees, harrowing the dead, even reaching out to try and steal away the living.

But the demons have a land of their own: a Far Country peopled with the souls of the transient dead, governed by demonic dukes, barons, and earls. When the Angel of Death comes strolling through the little shtetl of Tupik one night, two young people will be sent spinning off on a journey through the Far Country. There they will make pacts with ancient demons, declare war on Death himself, and maybe-- just maybe--find a way to make it back alive.
