书籍简介

《古炉》的故事发生在陕西一个叫“古炉”的村子里，这是一个偏远、封闭、保持着传统风韵的地方，但是这份宁静却从1965年冬天开始动荡了。古炉村里的几乎所有人，在各种因素的催化下，被迫卷入一场声势浩大的运动之中。时间一直发展到1967年春天，一个山水清明的宁静村落，在“政治”虚幻又具体的利益中，演变成一个充满了猜忌、对抗、大打出手的人文精神的废墟。作者用真实的生活细节和浑然一体的陕西风情，把当时中国基层的历史轨迹展示在我们面前，是作家对那个时代中国农村的生动写照。

1966, China is on the cusp of a decade of upheaval, and the furnaces of Old Kiln have never been this cold. The village’s once-famed ceramics production has almost ground to a halt. Only ancient grudges smoulder beneath its poverty-stricken streets, never forgotten by the two families that preside over the village. Between them stands the adopted Inkcap, whose mysterious origins leave him unloved and barely tolerated.

When the faraway capital demands a purer party line, the directive trickles down to this hinterland and revolutionary factions form. Clashing visions for a new future unravel the tight-knit community along old clan lines.

Inkcap’s gift for communicating with the natural world gives him solace, and a unique perspective in witnessing the violence punctuating daily existence. As fervour mutates into ways of settling scores, being an outcast might just save him – but for the shattered families, can the pieces be put together again?
