商品描述

在这部日记体小说中，公司职员马丁·桑多梅记录了一个蒙得维的亚中产阶级黯淡日常生活：办公室日复一日的例行公事、妻子早逝后感情生活的长期空白、与三个已经成年的孩子住在同一屋檐下却彼此充满隔阂与误解。当年轻的劳拉·阿贝雅内达进入公司后，桑多梅发现自己在情感上并未干涸，对即将到来的退休生活的不安，也逐渐由憧憬所取代。随着桑多梅与阿贝雅内达感情的迅速升温，他也有生以来第一次领悟到了爱情的真谛，这场真挚热烈的爱情将他生活中的阴霾一扫而空。然而幸福是短暂的，当他开始认真考虑起二人的未来时，一场不幸却再次将他抛入深渊，而这场爱情只是他与厌倦、孤独和无情流逝的时间的日常抗争中的一段插曲，一次休战……

《休战》是乌拉圭作家马里奥·贝内德蒂的第二部长篇小说，也是二十世纪zui重要的西语文学作品之一。本书自1960年推出后在世界范围内长销不衰，再版一百五十余次，为作者赢得了国际声誉。贝内德蒂在本书中塑造的女主人公阿贝雅内达曾被文学评论界称作“拉美叙事文学创造的zui动人的女性形象之一”。

'Perhaps that moment had been exceptional, but still, I felt alive. That pressure on my chest means being alive.'

Forty-nine, with a kind face, no serious ailments (apart from varicose veins on his ankles), a good salary and three moody children, widowed accountant Martin Santome is about to retire. He assumes he'll take up gardening, or the guitar, or whatever retired people do. What he least expects is to fall passionately in love with his shy young employee Laura Avellaneda. As they embark upon an affair, happy and irresponsible, Martin begins to feel the weight of his quiet existence lift - until, out of nowhere, their joy is cut short. 

The intimate, heartbreaking diary of an ordinary man who is reborn when he falls in love one final time, this beloved Latin American novel has been translated into twenty languages and sold millions of copies worldwide, and is now published in Penguin Classics for the first time.
