A WORLD OF OTHER PEOPLE
Book ID/图书代码： 12100013B62707
English Summary/英文概要： London, 1941, and the threat of daily bombings hangs heavily in the air. Jim, a young Australian pilot in Bomber Command, has suffered an unbearable loss when he meets Iris, a forthright young woman trying to find her voice as a writer. A World of Other People traces their love affair, haunted by secrets and malign coincidence, as they struggle to imagine a future together free of society’s thin-lipped disapproval. The poet T.S. Eliot, with whom Iris shares fire-watching duties during the Blitz, unwittingly seals their fate with one of the poems from his acclaimed Four Quartets.
Cinematic, intense and unflinching, A World of Other People is a supremely life-affirming evocation of love in war-time, when every decision, and every day, matters.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1941年，伦敦。日间空袭的威胁沉重地笼罩在城市上空。当年轻的澳大利亚飞行员吉姆遇到正向作家之路迈近的直率年轻女子艾丽斯时，他刚刚在轰炸机司令部蒙受了无法容忍的巨大损失。《他人的世界》以两人的恋爱为主线，当两人努力构建着一幅不顾世俗社会凉薄与阻碍的未来图景时，其间却又萦绕着秘密与邪恶的巧合。艾丽斯曾在闪电战期间与诗人T•S艾略特共担火警员一职，也因此艾略特将两人的命运永远的存封在了其著名的《四个四重奏》中。
《他人的世界》如电影艺术般紧凑强烈却又毫不退缩，在那个每一个决定与每一天都弥足珍贵的战争年代，本书展现了爱对生活至高无上的肯定与召唤。（DC）
