内容简介
An epic novel, set during WW2, from the prize-winner Anthony Doerr.    Marie Laure lives with her father in Paris within walking distance of the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of the locks (there are thousands of locks in the museum). When she is six, she goes blind, and her father builds her a model of their neighborhood, every house, every manhole, so she can memorize it with her fingers and navigate the real streets with her feet and cane. When the Germans occupy Paris, father and daughter flee to Saint-Malo on the Brittany coast, where Marie-Laure’s agoraphobic great uncle lives in a tall, narrow house by the sea wall.   In another world in Germany, an orphan boy, Werner, grows up with his younger sister, Jutta, both enchanted by a crude radio Werner finds. He becomes a master at building and fixing radios, a talent that wins him a place at an elite and brutal military academy and, ultimately, makes him a highly specialized tracker of the Resistance. Werner travels through the heart of Hitler Youth to the far-flung outskirts of Russia, and finally into Saint-Malo, where his path converges with Marie-Laure. Doerr’s gorgeous combination of soaring imagination with observation is electric. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, Doerr illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is his most ambitious and dazzling work. Read Caroline Baum's Review A big book in every sense: told in parallel narratives following the fates of two young people caught up in the turmoil of World War Two on opposite sides. Most affecting is the story of Marie Laure, a blind girl who flees Paris with her father to the walled city of Saint Malo ahead of the German invasion.  Meanwhile, Werner, a young orphan with a talent for fixing things, is picked out by the Nazis to be trained at an elite school for the war effort. The poignant and sweeping arcs of these characters connect as they move into the most turbulent period of twentieth century history. Although their fate is heavy with foreboding, Doerr raises familiar moral questions with fresh dramatic intensity.   If you think you don't need to read another novel about World War Two, this book may change your mind. It's a welcome addition to an already ample genre, bound to appeal especially to lovers of classics such as The Book Thief.
