MARY VENTURA AND THE NINTH KINGDOM: FABER STORIES

Book ID/图书代码： 05793019C00038

English Summary/英文概要： Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles.

Lips the colour of blood, the sun an unprecedented orange, train wheels that sound like ’guilt, and guilt, and guilt’: these are just some of the things Mary Ventura begins to notice on herjourney to the ninth kingdom.

’But what is the ninth kingdom?’ she asks a kind-seeming lady in her carriage. ’It is the kingdom of the frozen will,’ comes the reply. ’There is no going back.’

Sylvia Plath’s strange, dark tale of independence over infanticide, written not long after she herself left home, grapples with mortality in motion.

Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 费伯故事是一系列具有里程碑意义的独立作品，呈现了一系列不同类型和风格的短篇小说大师的作品。

嘴唇是血的颜色，太阳是前所未有的橙色，火车的轮子听起来像“内疚，内疚，内疚”:这些只是玛丽•文图拉在前往第九王国的旅途中开始注意到的一些事情。

“第九王国是什么?她问坐在马车里的一位和蔼可亲的女士。“这是冻结意志的王国，”回答来了。“没有回头路了。”

西尔维娅•普拉斯在离开家后不久就写了一部关于独立而非杀婴的奇怪而黑暗的故事，在动态中与死亡作斗争。

费伯故事集过去、现在和未来于一体，在我们的第九十周年里，它是一个值得收藏的作品的庆祝概要。（WYL）

Awards/获奖情况：“一篇超过40页的紧张气氛的娴熟的递进之作;简短的句子从肋骨间滑过…对于普拉斯作品的铁杆粉丝来说，这个故事是必不可少的读物。”——《星期日泰晤》

’A masterly ratcheting up of tension over 40 pages; short, simple sentences that slip between the ribs . . . the story is essential reading for diehard fans of Plath’s work.’, Sunday Times
