SONG OF TWO WORLDS(REPRINT EDITION)
Book ID/图书代码： 11341618C00051
English Summary/英文概要： After decades of living "hung like a dried fly," emptied and haunted by his past, the narrator, a man who has lost his faith in all things following a mysterious personal tragedy, awakens one morning revitalized and begins a Dante-like journey to find something to believe in, first turning to the world of science and then to the world of philosophy, religion, and human life. As his personal story is slowly revealed, little by little, we confront the great questions of the cosmos and of the human heart, some questions with answers and others without. An exciting new illustrated edition of a unique narrative poem.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在经历了几十年的“像苍蝇一样”的生活后，叙述者，一个在一场个人悲剧后对所有事物都失去了信心的人，在一天早上醒来，恢复了活力，开始了一段但丁式的寻找信仰的旅程，他首先转向科学世界，然后转向哲学、宗教和人类生活的世界。随着他的个人故事逐渐被展示，我们面临着宇宙和人类心灵的重大问题，有些问题有答案，有些没有。这是一首独特叙事诗的新版，配有全新的插图。(ZY)
Awards/获奖情况：“在这里，小说家（《爱因斯坦的梦想》的作者）和物理学家莱特曼用诗歌创作了一个生动感人的第一人称叙事。标题的两个世界是这本书的两个部分：有答案的问题和没有答案的问题，前者代表科学探究，后者代表直觉能力，使我们能够对伟大的艺术做出回应。但这部作品不是简单的智力练习，而是一个人流亡在自己国家的故事，他的智慧和孤独让他永远“赤身裸体”地敲门。莱特曼将印度诗人拉宾德拉纳特•泰戈尔称为这部作品的灵感来源。对于我们中的非科学家来说，莱特曼为我们提供了进入一个我们原本无法进入世界的入口。几张巧妙放置的照片（文本中为黑白，封面上为彩色）将故事锚定在背景中，并作为诗歌，这使读者置身于一个充满惊奇的宇宙之中，诗歌读者和其他人都将感兴趣。”——《图书馆期刊》
“艾伦•莱特曼的作品由一位科学和艺术人士创作，是一件独一无二的作品。《两个世界的歌》是这位物理学家的诗集，他将两门学科很好地融合在一起，对我们周围的世界有了真正迷人的见解。《两个世界的歌》有着优美的旋律，是一部真正的大作。”——《中西部书评》
"Here, novelist (Einstein’s Dreams) and physicist Lightman has created a vivid and moving first-person narrative in verse. The two worlds of the title are the two sections of the book: "Questions with Answers" and "Questions without Answers," with the former representing scientific inquiry and the latter the intuitive capacity that allows us to respond to great art. But this work is no simple intellectual exercise--it is the story of a man who is exiled within his own country, whose intelligence and aloneness keep him perpetually knocking at the door "naked...wearing only my questions." Lightman names the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore as the inspiration for this work. For the nonscientists among us, Lightman has provided entry into a world to which we would otherwise have limited access. Several artfully placed photographs (in black and white in the text and in color on the cover) anchor the story into its setting and serve as found poems in their own right. VERDICT A vivid and moving book-length narrative poem that places the reader inside of a universe of wonder; of interest to poetry readers and beyond." --Library Journal
"Created by a man of science and art, Alan Lightman’s work is a unique thing to behold. Song of Two Worlds is a collection of poetry from the physicist, as he blends his two disciplines well for a truly fascinating insight into the world around us. With fine verse, Song of Two Worlds is a top pick." --The Midwest Book Review
