商品简介
From the NYT bestselling author of Bel Canto and Run, a major and explosively ambitious new novel, set in the Amazonian jungle, both a gripping adventure story and a profound investigation of difficult human choices. Marina Singh is a research scientist at Vogel, a pharmaceutical institute in Minnesota, inconveniently in love with her boss, Mr. Fox . When one of her colleagues is reported to have died while following up on the progress of a field team based in Brazil, Marina is dispatched by Mr. Fox to the Amazon to uncover the truth of his death. And his widow wants his effects. She travels to Manaus, then down into the Amazonian delta, deep into the dense, dark, insect-infested jungle. The research team is looking into the development of a new miracle drug that could revolutionize Western society. A local tribe has the bark of a certain tree, it yields a substance which allows them to conceive late into middle age: many of the women are getting pregnant into their sixties and seventies. The problem is that the team is taking too long: they have been silent for two years, and Marina has been tasked to find out what is holding back their progress. The second problem is more serious: the team is being headed up by the daunting figure of Marina Swenson, an eminent and fiercely uncompromising scientist who was once Marina’s colleague, and towards whom Marina has very complicated feelings. What Marina learns will change her life. In a novel that is packed with amazing twists and surprises, Ann Patchett returns with immense confidence to a broad canvas, teeming with atmosphere and characters and rich with narrative. Remarkable events - fights with anacondas; encounters with cannibals; deaths; re-births - and profound moral decisions come together in a novel that will enthrall her many readers and fans, and is guaranteed to be a major bestseller. 《纽约时报》畅销书《美声唱法》和《奔跑吧》的作者创作了一部宏大而雄心勃勃的新小说，以亚马逊丛林为背景，既是一个扣人心弦的冒险故事，也是对人类艰难选择的深刻调查。玛丽娜·辛格 (Marina Singh) 是沃格尔制药公司的研究科学家在明尼苏达州的一所学院里，她不方便地爱上了她的老板福克斯先生。据报道，她的一名同事在跟踪巴西现场小组的进展时死亡，玛丽娜被福克斯先生派往亚马逊，以揭开他死亡的真相。他的遗孀想要他的财产。她前往马瑙斯，然后深入亚马逊三角洲，深入茂密、黑暗、昆虫出没的丛林。研究小组正在研究开发一种可能彻底改变西方社会的新神奇药物。当地部落有一种树皮，它产生一种物质，可以让他们在中年晚期怀孕：许多妇女在六七十岁的时候就怀孕了。问题是团队花了太长时间：他们已经沉默了两年，玛丽娜的任务是找出阻碍他们进步的因素。第二个问题更为严重：这个团队的领导者是玛丽娜·斯文森（Marina Swenson），她是一位令人畏惧的人物，她是一位杰出且毫不妥协的科学家，曾是玛丽娜的同事，玛丽娜对她怀有非常复杂的感情。玛丽娜学到的东西将改变她的生活。在这部充满惊人曲折和惊喜的小说中，安·帕切特带着巨大的信心回到了广阔的画布，充满了气氛和人物，叙述也很丰富。非凡事件——与蟒蛇打斗；遭遇食人者；死亡人数;重生和深刻的道德决定汇集在一本小说中，这将吸引她的众多读者和粉丝，并保证成为畅销书。
