Editor's Note:
十二岁离家时,优素福的小包袱里有两条短裤,一件长袍,一本经书。他还记得被妈妈拥抱时她那高耸而柔软的胸脯,被爸爸搂在怀里时他身上男人的汗味。十六岁时,“年轻人”这个词在优素福耳中听起来有高贵意味,几乎像被描述为身材高大——或者甚至是哲学家——一样好。 故事发生在百年前处于德国殖民阴影下的东非桑给巴尔——这片多种文明交融、多种宗教并存的古老土地。男孩优素福被父亲抵押给商人阿齐兹偿债,从此跟随商队行走异乡,亲历生存之难。他困惑于他成长仪式上的领路人阿齐兹的阴阳莫测;他好奇于被深锁在花园背后的疯女人的愁惨荒怪;他痴迷于旅途中那座火焰墙般的巍峨悬崖,它仿若天堂之门,令他天眼开启:是忍辱偷生,守着方寸店铺变成一个小掌柜,还是在残酷的世界中变得像铁一样结实,去找寻有花园和喷泉,更有自由与尊严的穷人的天堂? 《天堂》发表于1994年,是古尔纳的代表作之一。作者借少年未经世事、不加滤镜的视角,将一个男孩的成长故事嵌于社会动荡、历史变迁的大背景中,通过书写一代移民的前生,来“努力保存那种记忆,找回人们赖以生活,并以此认知自我的那些时刻与故事”。 特别收录古尔纳获奖演说未删节全译,一睹跨越两个大陆、多种文明交融下的成长与写作之秘密。
