UPROOTED

Book ID/图书代码: 01240014B69601

English Summary/英文概要: Naomi Novik, author of the New York Times bestselling and critically acclaimed Temeraire novels, introduces a bold new world rooted in folk stories and legends, as elemental as a Grimm fairy tale.

“Every so often you come upon a story that seems like a lost tale of Grimm newly come to light. Uprooted is such a novel. Its narrative spell is confidently wrought and sympathetically cast. I might even call it bewitching.”—Gregory Maguire, bestselling author of Wicked and Egg & Spoon

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 不论谷外留传着怎样的故事,我们的龙是绝不会吃他带回的女孩的。有时我们却会听见这样的故事,旅行者们将其留传。他们谈论起来就好像我们在进行人类的献祭,而他才是真正的龙。这一切当然都不是真的:他或许是一名男巫,但他也仍然是一个人,如果他每隔十年便想要吃掉我们当中的一个,我们的父辈们也将团结起来杀死他。他保护我们不受来自丛林的威胁,我们或许心怀感激,却也总是心有余悸。

倪莎卡和她的家人们生活在邪恶又腐朽的丛林之中---唯有冷漠又有野心的男巫“龙”强大到足够抵御来自丛林的威胁。为了换取他的保护,所需要付出的代价也是巨大的。每隔十年,他都会从当地村庄里带走一名年轻的女性,带到她独居的塔中---这样的命运丝毫不亚于坠身丛林。而下一个女性的选择也迫在眉睫。

倪莎卡畏惧着这一天的到来。她和所有的人都清楚的知道,龙这一次将带走她最好的朋友卡西亚:一名美丽,优雅和勇敢的女孩,拥有者倪莎卡所没有的一切。倪莎卡感觉自己对此毫无办法。然而令所有人震惊的是,龙最后选择了倪莎卡去代替卡西亚。似乎她拥有着某种魔力---而她的新主人似乎也在犹豫间告诉了她:“当天赋显现,就必须接受教导”。

事实证明,倪莎卡是一名很令人头疼的学生,而龙则是一名缺乏耐心的导师。就在两人看似不会在任何事件上达成一致的时候,一次次的口角背后的最深处却闪烁着某种其他的东西。两人谁也不想去发现那闪烁着的究竟是什么。。。。。。然而即便他们不想,整个世界还是会付出相应的代价。因为丛林的力量正在不断变强。(DC)

Praise for UPROOTED

“A very enjoyable fantasy with the air of a modern classic . . . Naomi Novik skillfully takes the fairy-tale-turned-bildungsroman structure of her premise . . . and builds enough flesh on those bones to make a very different animal. . . . The vivid characters around her also echo their fairy-tale forebears, but are grounded in real-world ambivalence that makes this book feel quietly mature, its world lived-in.”—The New York Times Book Review

“Uprooted has leapt forward to claim the title of Best Book I’ve Read Yet This Year. . . . Moving, heartbreaking, and thoroughly satisfying, Uprooted is the fantasy novel I feel I’ve been waiting a lifetime for. Clear your schedule before picking it up, because you won’t want to put it down.”—NPR

“Drawing on her Polish heritage and fairy-tale tropes, [Novik] has penned an original and fully realized fantastical place guaranteed to enthrall her longtime fans and attract new readers. This exceptional fantasy for adult and teen readers should appeal to those who love fairy-tale influenced stories such as Robin McKinley’s Spindle’s End.”—Library Journal (starred review)

“Enchanting in every sense.” – Robin Hobb

“Every so often you come upon a story that seems like a lost tale of Grimm newly come to light. Uprooted is such a novel. Its narrative spell is confidently wrought and sympathetically cast. I might even call it bewitching.”—Gregory Maguire, bestselling author of Wicked and Egg & Spoon

“Uprooted has everything I love: a great heroine, new takes on old myths and legends, and surprising twists and turns. A delight.”—Cassandra Clare, New York Times bestselling author of The Mortal Instruments series

“Magical and practical, otherworldly and planted in the real, I could not stop reading this book and neither will you!”—Tamora Pierce, New York Times bestselling author of Trickster’s Choice and Trickster’s Queen

“Wild, thrilling, and deeply, darkly magical. An instant classic.”—Lev Grossman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Magicians Trilogy

“Uprooted is one of those tales you come back to over and over again because it’s just that enchanting. The adventure builds with such tension that you are peeking through your hands at the end, hoping it will all be okay, and Naomi Novik delivers a conclusion that’s deeply satisfying, earning a permanent space on my bookshelf that I’ll revisit often.”—Kevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author of Shattered
