THE ROAD TAKEN: A NOVEL

Book ID/图书代码： 09220008B23383

English Summary/英文概要： "The Road Taken" is the narrative of the dramatic life and shocking death of Lew Holle, a complex, fascinating, and ultimately tragic character. The book is based on his memoirs, which were bequeathed to the author Michael Foss, who adds his own recollections of this remarkable man. Holle’s life moves from his bleak rural American roots to the sun-baked terrain of southern Spain; he becomes embroiled in drug-trafficking in Morocco, and serves time in an Italian jail. Returning at the end of his life to his family’s land in Canada, he chooses to take his own life rather than fall victim to disease. "The Road Taken" is an inspirational tale of unquenchable independence and self-sufficiency: the account of a man who, rather than settle for mediocrity, spent his days on the road, and in doing so touched the lives of many people. Holle found solace in words and stories throughout his life and, fittingly, his own story is beautifully told by an award-winning writer and close friend.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 有別於其他強調「客觀」的歷史學家，高齡已經七十一歲的英國作家Michael Foss，無疑握著一隻更深情的筆。Michael Foss的這本小說，根據摯友Lew Holle留給他的回憶錄所寫成，刻劃過埃及豔后克麗奧佩托拉、都鐸王朝群像、耶穌會沿革…等人類重大的歷史，這一次，Michael Foss放下重擔，為他放蕩漂流，曾遠赴西班牙、非洲，在摩洛哥販過毒、在義大利蹲過苦牢的好朋友Lew Holle，以文學小說的形式寫傳。《THE ROAD TAKEN》鋪陳出一位浪子的歸鄉，追溯他堅持透過旅途與冒險，去體驗真實生活的獨特人生觀。Lew Holle戲劇化而充滿轉折的一生，最後跌跌撞撞回到加拿大的家鄉，不幸驟逝的故事，透過Michael Foss的文字，成為一部令人嘆息卻不禁回味的作品。Michael Foss從卑微看偉大的悲憫天性與能力，使得他成為少數在古稀之年，還願意花費時間精神，回頭去書寫身邊人事物的作家。（TT）
