书籍简介

《第五号屠宰场》是美国作家库尔特·冯内古特创作的长篇小说。该小说以二战为背景，描述一名凡人，在一天晚上，做了一个内容十分复杂多变的恶梦，梦中他经历了纳粹集中营与未来星球世界的生活，在过去和未来之间，他想到了很多的问题，并在过去和未来的世界里去找寻答案。 《第五号屠宰场》跨越时空的界限，将战争的真实与科幻的奇异交织起来，在新奇的视野中揭露真实，成为20世纪美国重要的小说之一。

《第五号屠宰场》，揭示了当人面对荒诞的死亡，人要成为“死亡”的主人这一深刻主题。“死亡”在《第五号屠宰场》中，由一种被动的悲观等待变成了一种主动的生存美学。把“死亡”看作是重塑和再生的必经之路。

A beautiful hardback edition of one of the most funny, moving and brilliant novels of the twentieth century.

'A book to read and reread. He is a true artist' New York Times

Billy Pilgrim - hapless barber's assistant, successful optometrist, alien abductee, senile widower and soldier - has become unstuck in time.

Hiding in the basement of a slaughterhouse in Dresden, with the city and its inhabitants burning above him, he finds himself a survivor of one of the most deadly and destructive battles of the Second World War.

But when, exactly?

How did he get here?

And how does he get out?

Travel through time and space on the shoulders of Vonnegut himself.

This is a book about war.

Listen to what he has to say: it is of the utmost urgency.

'The great, urgent, passionate American writer of our century, who offers us a model of the kind of compassionate thinking that might yet save us from ourselves' George Saunders

'A rare accomplishment... it is a graceful, ferociously humorous, sarcastic and ultimately compassionate parable about man's power for evil and his capacity for grace' Sunday Times

作者简介

库特·冯内古特（又译：库特·冯内果，Kurt Vonnegut，1922—2007），美国作家。二战期间，冯内古特被德军俘虏，被抓到德累斯顿做苦力，进而亲身经历了惨绝人寰的大轰炸。

作品有：《第五号屠宰场》、《上帝保佑你，罗瓦特先生》、《时震》、《兰胡子》和《囚鸟》等。

Kurt Vonnegut was born in Indianapolis in 1922 and studied biochemistry at Cornell University. An army intelligence scout during the Second World War, he was captured by the Germans and witnessed the destruction of Dresden by Allied bombers, an experience which inspired his classic novel Slaughterhouse-Five. After the war he worked as a police reporter, an advertising copywriter and a public relations man for General Electric. His first novel Player Piano (1952) achieved underground success. Cat's Cradle (1963) was hailed by Graham Greene as 'one of the best novels of the year by one of the ablest living authors'. His eighth book, Slaughterhouse-Five was published in 1969 and was a literary and commercial success, and was made into a film in 1972. Vonnegut is the author of thirteen other novels, three collections of stories and five non-fiction books. Kurt Vonnegut died in 2007.
