THE PLANNER

Book ID/图书代码: 05380014B67437

English Summary/英文概要: In a city with over fifty thousand streets, it only takes one wrong turn to lose your way.

James is one of London’s most promising town planners. But while he understands the glitter and grime of the city better than almost anyone, he hasn’t actually experienced much of it. And, as he watches his university friends blossom into rich and successful adults, he has the nagging sense that he has somehow fallen by the wayside.

That is, until he meets Felix, who navigates the glamorous and cynical capital with sophisticated ease. Felix introduces James to a world of private clubs executive football boxes, suburban drug dealers and dates with women even more exotic than the exorbitant vodka shots they drink.

But London is an expensive city in many ways, and the world Felix has opened up comes at a price. James may know how to design housing estates and high streets, but is it really possible to redraw the masterplan of his own life? And what will he lose along the way?

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 在一座有着5万多条街道的城市之中,一步走错便会让你迷失方向。

詹姆斯是伦敦最有前途的城市规划新星。然而虽然他比城市里的任何一个人都要更加清晰的了解这座城市的闪光点与污垢处,但他却并未亲身经历许多。当大学校友们都逐渐收获名利与财富,他的内心深处仿若被某种感觉啃噬着,而自己则不知为何地被遗落在了路边。

这一切都在他遇到了菲利克斯后发生了变化。菲利克斯可以轻而易举却又颇为老练的操控着闪闪发光又叫人愤恨的资本。他将詹姆斯带入了一个私人俱乐部的世界---足球拳击、城市毒枭,并和那些比他们所喝的天价伏特加还要异域风情的女人们约会。

然而,从很多方面而言,伦敦都是一座昂贵奢靡的城市,而菲利克斯所引荐的那个世界也并非免费。詹姆斯或许很熟悉如何设计房产规划和铺设高架,然而他又是否真的能够重新规划自己的人生呢?在这条道路之上,他又将失去些什么?(DC)
