IN ANOTHER COUNTRY: SELECTED STORIES
Book ID/图书代码： 03240317B00004
English Summary/英文概要： Featuring the story that inspired the Academy Award nominated film, 45 YEARS.
The stories of David Constantine are unlike any others. His characters possess you instantly, making you see the world as they do sometimes as exiles, driven into isolation by convictions that even they don t fully understand; sometimes as carriers of an unspoken but unbearable weight. The things they pursue, or evade, are often unseen and at a distance like the perfectly preserved body of a woman in the title story, waiting to be discovered in the receding ice of a Swiss glacier. These tokens of the past, or future, haunt Constantine s characters, but the landscapes that produce them also offer salvation, places of refuge or small treasures to take solace in like the piece of driftwood a beachcomber chooses to carve into his idea of perfection.
Gathering together stories from over two decades of writing, this selection demonstrates why Constantine has been hailed as perhaps the finest of contemporary writers in this form . Their bewitching and urgent language is at one and the same time unsettling and strong enough to help .
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这部电影的主题是获得奥斯卡奖提名的电影45年。
大卫康斯坦丁的故事与其他的不同。他的角色立刻就吸引住了你，让你看到这个世界，就像他们有时作为流亡者一样，被他们的信念所驱使，即使他们并不完全理解;有时作为一种不言而喻但难以承受的重量的载体。他们追求或逃避的东西，往往是看不见的，就像故事中保存完好的女人的身体，等待着在瑞士冰川消融的冰中被发现。这些对过去或未来的象征，萦绕着康斯坦丁的角色，但产生它们的风景也提供了救赎、避难场所或小宝藏的慰藉，就像海滩上的浮木在他心目中的完美一样。
从20多年的写作中，我们可以从这一选择中收集到一些故事，这也说明了为什么君士坦丁被认为是当代最优秀的作家。他们那迷人而急迫的语言，同时又令人不安和强大，足以帮助他们。（WYL）
