图书描述

An extraordinary debut novel of love that survives the fires of hell and transcends the boundaries of time

The narrator of The Gargoyle is a very contemporary cynic, physically beautiful and sexually adept, who dwells in the moral vacuum that is modern life. As the book opens, he is driving along a dark road when he is distracted by what seems to be a flight of arrows. He crashes into a ravine and suffers horrible burns over much of his body. As he recovers in a burn ward, undergoing the tortures of the damned, he awaits the day when he can leave the hospital and commit carefully planned suicide—for he is now a monster in appearance as well as in soul.

A beautiful and compelling, but clearly unhinged, sculptress of gargoyles by the name of Marianne Engel appears at the foot of his bed and insists that they were once lovers in medieval Germany. In her telling, he was a badly injured mercenary and she was a nun and scribe in the famed monastery of Engelthal who nursed him back to health. As she spins their tale in Scheherazade fashion and relates equally mesmerizing stories of deathless love in Japan, Iceland, Italy, and England, he finds himself drawn back to life—and, finally, in love. He is released into Marianne's care and takes up residence in her huge stone house. But all is not well. For one thing, the pull of his past sins becomes ever more powerful as the morphine he is prescribed becomes ever more addictive. For another, Marianne receives word from God that she has only twenty-seven sculptures left to complete—and her time on earth will be finished.

Already an international literary sensation, the Gargoyle is an Inferno for our time. It will have you believing in the impossible.

——安德鲁·戴维森在写《石像怪兽》时,会不会对开篇的描写特别用心呢? 之所以有这样的感觉,是因为打开书的瞬间就被他的语言吸引住了,顺势看了下去。 在描写车祸发生的一系列画面中,他居然用上了那么轻松、甚至有点戏谑的语气。嘲笑一个因吸毒而精神恍惚的都市青年男子,...

《石像怪兽》貌似一把足以将读者切割成两座阵营的利器。一座阵营里的人高喊,这本书太棒了!只要读起来,就绝对放不下。另一座阵营里人的回应,这本书真是烂透了!拖沓冗长,令人看不了几页就急于放下,不再拿起。我要坦白地承认,我是后者阵营中的人,这本书我足足读了两周,...
