A stunning debut novel about the intertwined destinies of two friends brought together by childhood tragedy.
A three-million-copy Italian bestseller and winner of that country’s prestigious Premio Strega award.
A prime number is inherently a solitary thing: it can only be divided by itself, or by one: it never truly fits with another. Alice and Mattia, too, move on their own axis, alone with their personal tragedies. As a child, Alice’s overbearing father drove her first to a terrible skiing accident, and then to anorexia. When she meets Mattia she recognizes a kindred, tortured spirit, and Mattia reveals to Alice his terrible secret: that as a boy he abandoned his mentally-disabled twin sister in a park to go to a party, and when he returned, she was nowhere to be found.
These two irreversible episodes mark Alice and Mattia’s lives for ever, and as they grow into adulthood their destinies seem intertwined: they are divisible only by themselves and each other. But the shadow of the lost twin haunts their relationship, until a chance sighting by Alice of a woman who could be Mattia’s sister forces a lifetime of secret emotion to the surface.
A meditation on loneliness and love, The Solitude of Prime Numbers asks, can we ever truly be whole when we’re in love with another? And when Mattia is asked to choose between human love and his professional love — of mathematics — which will make him more complete? --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

评分“质数只能被一和它自身整除。在自然数的无穷序列中,它们处于自己的位置上,和其他所有数字一样,被前后两个数字挤着,但它们彼此间的距离却比其他数字更远一步。它们是多疑而又孤独的数字。在质数当中还有一些更加特别的成员,数学家称之为“孪生质数”,它们是离得很近的一...
评分马蒂亚聪明内向,童年时把弱智的妹妹丢在公园致其失踪,这件事使他内疚自闭,从此躲进数学的花园不愿与人接触。爱丽丝有一个严厉的父亲,出于虚荣的理想强迫她参加她划雪训练,一次事故使她一条腿落下残疾,从此被同龄人岐视。他们都成了孤独的人,但马蒂亚的孤独在于拒绝这个...
评分意大利人一直是有趣的,幽默的,印象中的意大利人应该像二战那样,像卡尔维诺那样,像他们的电影一样,可是无论怎么样,都不应该是像质数那样。保罗的叙述方式是那种不急不缓的娓娓道来,这才是第三人称的写作方式,仿佛与己无关的冷眼旁观,并不为了主人公的开心而喜悦,也不...
