内容摘要 在《穿越》中,科马克-麦卡锡实现了《所有漂亮的马》的承诺,同时给我们带来了一部更黑暗、更有远见的作品,这部小说具有经典西部片不可阻挡的气势和美国失落神话的象形力量。20世纪30年代末,16岁的比利-帕勒姆抓住了一只一直在他家牧场里游荡的母狼。但他没有杀死它,而是决定把它带回墨西哥的山区。通过这次穿越,他开始了一段艰辛的、经常是如梦如幻的旅程,在这个国家里,人们遇到了鬼魂,暴力就像热闪电一样突然袭来--在这个世界上,"除了死亡所带来的秩序",没有任何秩序。无论从哪个角度看,《穿越》都是一部重要的小说,它光芒四射,令人震惊,是一本能同时触动、阻止和启动心灵的书。 In The Crossing, Cormac McCarthy fulfills the promise of All the Pretty Horses and at the same time give us a work that is darker and more visionary, a novel with the unstoppable momentum of a classic western and the elegaic power of a lost American myth. In the late 1930s, sixteen-year-old Billy Parham captures a she-wolf that has been marauding his family's ranch. But instead of killing it, he decides to take it back to the mountains of Mexico. With that crossing, he begins an arduous and often dreamlike journey into a country where men meet ghosts and violence strikes as suddenly as heat-lightning--a world where there is no order "save that which death has put there." An essential novel by any measure, The Crossing is luminous and appalling, a book that touches, stops, and starts the heart and mind at once.
