FOREVER YOUNG

Book ID/图书代码： 12100016B89722

English Summary/英文概要： Forever Young is set against the tumultuous period of change and uncertainty that was Australia in 1977. Whitlam is about to lose the federal election, and things will never be the same again. Radicals have become conservatives, idealism is giving way to realism, relationships are falling apart, and Michael is finally coming to accept that he will never be a rock and roll musician. A subtle and graceful exploration of the passage of time and our yearning for the seeming simplicities of the past, Forever Young is a powerfully moving work – clear, beautiful, affecting - by one of our greatest authors.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《永远年轻》的故事背景设置在1977年变化极快，充满不确定性的澳大利亚。惠特拉姆在联邦选举中落选，事情再也不会和以往一样了。激将分子将变为保守党，理想主义者将给现实主义者让道，各类关系分崩离析，而麦克也终于接受他永远都不可能成为一位摇滚音乐人。《永远年轻》微妙而优雅地探索了时间的流逝以及我们对看似简单过往的叹息，作者非常出色，作品也相当吸引人。(XAT)

Praise for Forever Young: ‘Reading [Forever Young] is like gently swinging in a hammock and letting the words float by … Carroll’s prose is languid, focusing on the inner world of his characters and the minutiae and movements of nature and time.’ -Daily Telegraph
An ‘exquisitely crafted novel … No Australian author has better evoked the sense of change, the ravages of time, the obligation to self as well as to others.’ -The Age
