From the highly acclaimed, multiple award-winning Anthony Doerr, the beautiful, stunningly ambitious instant New York Times bestseller about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II.
Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.
In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge.
Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, a National Book Award finalist, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).

评分我是个不怎么读小说的人,小学的时候,《水浒传》影响了我的人生观。但像《老炮儿》里小飞说的,“没碰上您之前,我以为这样的都是书里写的,碰上您,我信了”。不知是否是读了水浒后,性格才更加耿直,仗义,……但自从水浒被搬上银幕,亲眼看到了宋江俯首,弯腰,撅着屁股趴...
评分对一个时代的评价,狄更斯给出了一个几乎“终极”的答案:“这是最好的时代,这是最坏的时代”。后来的人很喜欢引用这句话,至于出于何种心境,是用来表达困顿,还是昭示自己的坦然,其实已经跟狄更斯,或是任何一个时代没有关联了。我们没法具体去衡量一个时代的精神状态,...
