From the highly acclaimed, multiple award-winning Anthony Doerr, the beautiful, stunningly ambitious instant New York Times bestseller about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II.
Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.
In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge.
Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).
Longlisted for the 2014 National Book Award for Fiction

评分这本小说给我两个意外,一是创作缘起,Doerr说,2004年他在纽约地铁上看见一位在打电话的乘客因手机失去信号而很生气,他想到我们是不是忘记了能这样和远方的人通话是一种奇迹,于是他决定创作一部重现无线电广播对上世纪二三十年代的人而言是一种怎样的奇迹的作品;二是小说的写法,所有章节短得出奇,几乎没有一个章超过10页,虽然乍看是一本超过500页的厚小说,读起来却毫无压力,而作者坦承这是为了亲近读者a gesture of friendliness,让读者在高度凝练绵密诗意的行文中有休息的空隙。文学不该迎合读者,但文学作品写出来是希望被阅读被用来交流,这是我最喜爱钦佩的创作态度。
评分##Reminded me so much of The Book Thief。
评分##读过之后非常想去Smithsonian Natural History Museum去看那个Hope钻石...
评分##什么都想写反倒什么都写不好。标准的创意写作出身作家写法,细碎的文字细节大于整体。其实不是历史小说,写的是当代人对回忆和结构的痴迷而不是历史中挣扎的人#再也不想看美国人写历史小说了
