内容介绍


*本书获得2022年Biblioteca Breve文学奖,评审团的评语:“Isaac Rosa paints a brilliant portrait of three generations of rogues from the same family who take advantage of the system cracks. A novel that is captivating and uncomfortable and that reflects, through irony and controversy, the moment of uncertainty in today's society” 这个奖项在拉丁美洲以及西班牙语系国家有非常重要的地位,许多诺贝尔文学奖作家都获得过这个奖,比如Mario Vargas Llosa, Elena Poniatowska 或 Fernando Aramburu。Mario Vargas Llosa曾说过:“The Biblioteca Breve Prize has been decisive for many writers in Spain and Latin America in their efforts to reach a broader public and to get their books into the hands of readers on both sides of the Atlantic”。


*透过这本书,作者试图证明文学中能够有一种不同的未来,不是反乌托邦也不是后世界某日的故事。这本书在讽刺现代文学描述未来的潮流。书中呈现的问题是:生存是为了什么?不论是哪一种世界末日:战争、自然灾难、环境危机、金融危机、彗星撞地球、外星人入侵等等,我们的世界似乎有很多结束的方式,但现实中的我们因为自己的恐惧总是在寻找不同的生存方式,不论它是否有效。


Segismundo Garcia是一位落魄的商人,认为他这次找到了人生难得的商机:将便宜的地堡卖给社会最底层,在全世界恐慌世界末日的时候给他们生存的希望。Segismundo正存在自己的经济以及私生活低潮,跟儿子以及父亲的关系都不好。这三代的流氓一心只想提高自己的社会地位,但命运让他们一次又一次的失败。


这本书的整个故事发生在一天二十四小时内,我们陪伴着Segismundo一起跑业务,同时看着他如何寻找能解开家族心结的答案。在这一路上,他必须面对自己悲观又讽刺的眼力如何看待那些认为世界能变得更好的人群。


在这个流行反乌托邦文学的潮流中,作者的这本作品时一股清流,透过幽默、迷人、温馨的故事去让读者思考我们如何面对未来的未知。

好评:

"The best Biblioteca Breve Prize that has been awarded so far in the millennium. So demanding, so opportune, so refreshing, so full of strength”, Manuel Rodríguez Rivero, Babelia, El País.

"Rosa builds a literature of non-resignation, a literature that, formally and conceptually, denies what is assumed, what is reiterated, mere humming. Because the literature that matters, and that of Isaac Rosa is, far from humming, it is dissident ", Anna Maria Iglesia, La Lectura, El Mundo.

"The very timely new novel by Isaac Rosa [...] speaks to us of surrender, docility, renunciation of utopia, of those who, faced with fragility, do business, no matter what it takes", Laura Barrachina, El Critical Eye, RNE.

"Safe place is a criticism of a society doomed to individualism in which we have assumed dystopia, instead of continuing to dream of utopia", Laura Barrachina, Las Mañanas, RNE.

"A novel that, between jokes and truth, suggests that another, more humane future is possible", Jesús Ferrer, La Razón.

"A scathing criticism wrapped in humor about class resentment", Pilar Martin, Efe.

“Issac Rosa proposes a funny story that criticizes the new age philosophy and self-help, the self-deception of citizens to find an explanation and consolation for their own circumstances”, Now that I read, La Sexta.
