内容摘要 英国萨塞克斯郡:一名中年男子回到童年时的家参加葬礼。他被这条路尽头的农场所吸引,当他七岁的时候,他在那里遇到了一位非常出色的女孩,莱蒂·亨普斯托克。他已经有几十年没想过莱蒂了,然而坐在池塘边(她声称池塘是一片海洋),那些被遗忘的往事涌了回来。40年前,一名男子驾驶一辆偷来的汽车在这条路尽头的农场自杀。就像烟花上的导火线,他的死点燃了触点纸,以难以想象的方式产生了共鸣。黑暗被释放出来,对一个小男孩来说,这是一种可怕而又完全无法理解的东西。而莱蒂承诺无论如何都会保护他。 《遗忘之海》是一位大师开创性的作品,讲述的是一种罕见的对人类的理解,展现了故事的力量,揭示和遮蔽了我们内心和外部的黑暗。这是一个激动人心的、令人恐惧的、挽歌般的寓言,像蝴蝶的翅膀一样精致,像黑暗中的一把刀一样险恶。 Sussex, England: A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. He is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet sitting by the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean), the unremembered past comes flooding back. Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie - magical, comforting, wise beyond her years - promised to protect him, no matter what. A groundbreaking work from a master, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. A stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.
