The Time Keeper pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
From the author who's inspired millions worldwide with books like Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven comes his most imaginative novel yet, The Time Keeper--a compelling fable about the first man on earth to count the hours.
The man who became Father Time.
In Mitch Albom's newest work of fiction, the inventor of the world's first clock is punished for trying to measure God's greatest gift. He is banished to a cave for centuries and forced to listen to the voices of all who come after him seeking more days, more years. Eventually, with his soul nearly broken, Father Time is granted his freedom, along with a magical hourglass and a mission: a chance to redeem himself by teaching two earthly people the true meaning of time.
He returns to our world--now dominated by the hour-counting he so innocently began--and commences a journey with two unlikely partners: one a teenage girl who is about to give up on life, the other a wealthy old businessman who wants to live forever. To save himself, he must save them both. And stop the world to do so.
Told in Albom's signature spare, evocative prose, this remarkably original tale will inspire readers everywhere to reconsider their own notions of time, how they spend it and how precious it truly is.
Mitch Albom is an author, playwright, and screenwriter who has written seven books, including the
international bestseller Tuesdays with Morrie, the bestselling memoir of all time. His first novel, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, was an instant number-one New York Times bestseller that has since sold more than six million copies worldwide. For One More Day, his second novel, was also a #1 New York Times bestseller. Both books were made into acclaimed TV films. Mitch also works as a columnist and a broadcaster, and serves on numerous charitable boards. He lives with his wife, Janine, in Michigan.
God limits our days to make each precious.

评分I like it. Simple but with an important message.
Mitch Albom again surprises me with his fable. I am deeply moved when Father time leads the teenage girl and the old dying man to the flashback and forward of life. "Ends are for yesterday, not for tomorrows" This book surely influence one's life with refle...

评分I love the way Al tells stories and I love how much thought he puts into his little tales. The three main characters couldn't be much more different from each other if they tried. 1. is father time and his story of becoming father time. 2. is a teenage gi...
