WILBERFORCE
Book ID/图书代码： 06840014B69595
English Summary/英文概要： We’re so thrilled to share WILBERFORCE, which was a personal pick of Jonathan Galassi, the head of FSG, and was bought by him in a pre-empt in an exciting two-book deal!!Wilberforce is a gorgeous, sprawling debut about a seventeen-year-old boy undergoing a crisis—mental, emotional, sexual, spiritual—at a school that is falling apart. A cross between Rudyard Kipling’s Stalky & Co and Sara Waters’ Fingersmith, Wilberforce evokes a vanished world that ought to have nothing to do with us and yet somehow does.
England, 1926, adrift. All the good men have died in the War. At St. Stephen’s Academy, East Riding of Yorkshire, the boys are violently bored. They want to thrash each other, tear each other’s clothes off, drink themselves into oblivion...for preference all at once. Morgan Wilberforce, for one, is going off the rails. Everything he touches turns to disaster, even the sensational Charles Spauling. He senses a shadow waiting to destroy him though he knows nothing matters in their age. Still, on master, John Grieves, has not given up on him. Grieves has no idea what will help, the light of his intellect, the force of his personality, even first aid from the trenches, yet he feels compelled to try.
As Morgan and the Academy lurch toward cataclysm—heart, mind, body, soul—will the shadow have its way? Or does something exist that can sort them out, something to keep the darkness at bay and show them who they are? In the cooped-up, frustrated English boarding school world, Wilberforce explores the deepest intersections of sexuality, grief, and spiritual struggle.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 能够与大家一同分享威尔伯福斯实在是令人兴奋不已，本书为FSG主席乔纳森•加拉西的个人推荐书目，并且他还将以令人激动的上下两册的方式先行发行。
威尔伯福斯是一部十分精彩宏大，同时无限延伸的处女小说作品，讲述了一名17岁的少年在一所分崩离析的学校中所承受的巨大精神、情感、性及灵魂危机。《威尔伯福斯》融合了拉迪亚德•吉卜林的“Stalky & Co”及莎拉•沃特斯的“Fingersmith”，它唤醒了一个已经消失的世界，这个世界本该与我们不甚关联，但事实上在某些方面却又脱不开干系。
英格兰，1926，漂泊。所有的好人都在战争中死去。约克郡东区，圣史蒂芬学院，男孩们都极度的无聊。他们想要猛烈的摇晃彼此，撕裂彼此的衣物，在酒精中醉的不省人事。。。。。。无时无刻地随心所欲。摩根•威尔伯福斯是他们中唯一一个不与他们为伍的人。不论他触碰什么，一切都会立马变成一场灾难，即便对象是轰动一时的查尔斯•斯鲍林也不例外。尽管他知道在他们这一年龄，一切都无足轻重，但他还是感到有一个东西在那种蓄势待发，想要摧毁他。而在老师那里，约翰•戈里维斯老师还没有放弃他。戈里维斯丝毫不知道该如何帮助他，不论是他的智慧与知识还是他的人格魅力，甚至是在战壕中的急救措施，一切都似乎无法帮上忙，但他却还是有种想要再次尝试的冲动。
当摩根与大家蹒跚着逼近这一切的触媒---心灵、思想、身体、灵魂----暗中的影子也将随之而来吗？又或者，是否存在着某种能够将他们区分开来的事物，能够让黑暗无法近身，并向他们展示他们真实的样子？在英式住宿学校那被禁锢的可怕世界中，威尔伯福斯对性、悲伤和精神斗争的相互联系进行了深入的探究。(DC)
