THE FIRST FIFTEEN LIVES OF HARRY AUGUST

Book ID/图书代码： 07980014B70198

English Summary/英文概要： Meet Harry August, the most unforgettable character you will meet this year, a man fighting across lifetimes and centuries to stop the unravelling of the world.

Harry August is on his deathbed. It’s not the first time. Each time Harry dies, he is reborn in exactly the same time and place, a child with all the knowledge of a life he has already lived a dozen times before. No matter what he does or the decisions he makes, when death comes, Harry always returns to where he began, and nothing ever changes. Now, as Harry nears the end of his eleventh life, a little girl appears at his bedside. ’I nearly missed you, Doctor August,’ she says. ’I need to send a message. It has come down from child to adult, child to adult, passed back through generations from a thousand years forward in time. The message is that the world is ending, and we cannot prevent it. So now it’s up to you.’ This is the story of what Harry August does next - and what he did before - and how he tries to save a past he cannot change and a future he cannot allow.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 哈里??奥古斯特将是你今年读过的最难忘的人物，这是一个在有生之年为了阻止世界的解体而战斗的男人。

哈里??奥古斯特处在弥留之际。这已经不是第一次了。每当哈里死后，他就会在完全相同的时间和地点重生成有着前几十世知识的孩子。无论他做什么或者做什么决定，当死亡来临的时候，哈里总是会回到他开始的地方，而且什么也没发生变化。现在，哈里接近他第十一世生命的尽头，一个小女孩出现在他的床边。她说“我差点错过你，奥古斯特医生，我需要传达一条消息。它重千年前起就开始一代代传递了，从小孩到成年人，从成年人到小孩。 该消息是，世界即将结束，我们不能阻止它。”这就是哈里??奥杜斯特接下来要做的事——也是他以前在做的——他是如何试图挽救他不能改变的过去和他不能认同的未来。(LNL)
