内容简介

“情节安排和节奏的大师"--《纽约时报》。

每出版一本新书，我都会更加欣赏约翰·格里森，因为他对弱者的同情，以及他在新方向上的意愿'--娱乐周刊

一个人。一个人，一个希望。一次成为传奇的机会。

一个人

17岁的塞缪尔·苏莱曼（Samuel Sooleyman）来自南苏丹的一个村庄，这个饱受战争蹂躏的国家有三分之一的人口是难民。他的爱好是篮球：他惊人的弹跳力和闪电般的速度使他成为一名出色的球员。这也可能会给他带来巨大的机会：他已经被一个带青年队去美国的教练注意到了。

一个希望

如果他能通过比赛，塞缪尔的生活将发生巨大变化。但这是漫长的一次机会。他的天赋是原始的，没有经过训练。在他前面有数百名更知名的球员。而且他必须离开他的家庭，至少在开始的时候。

一次机会

当美国的成功在向他招手的时候，一个毁灭性的消息从家里传到了塞缪尔。在他的梦想和千里之外的噩梦之间，被同学们戏称为 "Sooley "的他必须对自己的未来做出艰难的选择。这个安静、专注的男孩必须做到他所选择的游戏历史上没有其他球员能做到的事情：在短短12个月内成为一个传奇。

全球畅销书作家约翰·格里沙姆在这部扣人心弦、令人难以置信的小说中带你进入一个不同的法庭，以全新的视角展示了他讲故事的能力。

格里沙姆的书聪明、富有想象力、有趣，由复杂有趣的人组成。

“一个高超的、本能的讲故事的人”--《泰晤士报》。

ONE MAN. ONE HOPE. ONCE CHANCE TO BECOME A LEGEND.

ONE MAN

Seventeen-year-old Samuel Sooleyman comes from a village in South Sudan, a war-torn country where one third of the population is a refugee. His great love is basketball: his prodigious leap and lightning speed make him an exceptional player. And it may also bring him his big chance: he has been noticed by a coach taking a youth team to the United States.

ONE HOPE

If he gets through the tournament, Samuel's life will change beyond recognition. But it's the longest of long shots. His talent is raw and uncoached. There are hundreds of better-known players ahead of him. And he must leave his family behind, at least at the beginning.

ONE CHANCE

As American success beckons, devastating news reaches Samuel from home. Caught between his dream and the nightmare unfolding thousands of miles away, 'Sooley', as he's nicknamed by his classmates, must make hard choices about his future. This quiet, dedicated boy must do what no other player has achieved in the history of his chosen game: become a legend in twelve short months.

Global bestseller John Grisham takes you to a different kind of court in this gripping and incredibly moving novel that showcases his storytelling powers in an entirely new light.
