内容介绍

"就像其世界的放射性一样，《终结者》迸发出无形的致命能量"。海中之山》作者雷-奈勒

杰夫-范德米尔（Jeff VanderMeer）撰写的序言热情洋溢地论证了该书与当今世界的相关性，

这部被重新发现的斯堪的纳维亚小说经典作品在首次出版 50 多年后仍然具有令人震惊的现实意义。

斯文-霍尔姆（Sven Holm）的《Termush》是一部关于人类因自身原因而被迫陷入道德困境的尖锐而富有预言性的作品。

特尔穆什满足富裕顾客的各种需求--首先是在这个专为世界末日而设计的海滨度假胜地获得一个令人垂涎的位置。

这里的每个人都得到了充分的保护，不会受到 "灾难 "的影响。

工作人员在幕后努力营造一种平静、无摩擦的氛围；他们在大厅里播放舒缓的音乐，并迅速清除从天而降的死鸟。

但死亡的阴影依然存在。侦察队穿着防护装备来来往往。

由于酒店谨慎地欢迎幸存者，但随后又对他们的到来进行新闻检查，对污染的恐惧蔓延开来。

随着时间的推移，控制的外衣开始破裂，很明显，特尔穆什的居民既无法避免大灾难对身体造成的影响，

也无法避免利用财富将自己与外界受困者的命运隔离开来的道德后果。

"Like the radioactivity of its world, Termush crackles with an invisible, deadly energy." ―Ray Naylor, author of Mountain in the Sea

With an introduction by Jeff VanderMeer that makes an ardent case for its relevance to today’s world, this rediscovered classic of Scandinavian fiction is still shockingly relevant more than fifty years after it was first published. Sven Holm’s Termush is a searing and prophetic study of humanity forced into a moral bind through its own doing.

Termush caters to every need of its wealthy patrons―first among them, a coveted spot at this exclusive seaside getaway, a resort designed for the end of the world.

Everyone within its walls has been promised full protection from the aftereffects of “the disaster.” The staff work behind the scenes to create a calming and frictionless mood; they pipe soothing music into the halls and quickly remove the dead birds that fall out of the sky. But the specter of death remains. Recon teams come and go in protective gear. Fear of contamination spreads as the hotel cautiously welcomes survivors only to then censor news of their arrival. As the days pass, the veneer of control begins to crack, and it becomes clear that the residents of Termush can insulate themselves from neither the physical effects of the cataclysm nor the moral fallout of using their wealth to separate themselves from the fate of those trapped outside.
