书籍简介

《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜#1安·帕切特的经典著作，设计精美，作者本人作了注释和介绍。

“这本书既是对艺术和美的赞歌，也是一部巧妙的风俗喜剧。”《纽约时报》

《美丽的歌声》于 2001 年首次出版，可能是安·帕切特受喜爱的小说。故事发生在一个未透露姓名的南美国家，讲述了一场为日本大商人细川先生举行的奢华生日派对的故事。歌剧界受尊敬的女高音罗克珊·科斯以令人着迷的表演吸引了国际嘉宾。这个夜晚很美好——直到一群持枪恐怖分子劫持了整个派对。但在帕切特娴熟的笔下，起初惊慌失措、危及生命的场景慢慢演变成完全不同的场景，一个美丽的时刻，恐怖分子和人质建立了意想不到的联系，来自不同大陆的人们成为了同胞。友谊、同情和伟大爱情的机会让角色们忘记了已经发生的真正危险——而且无法阻止。

现在，在这部大胆、艺术大胆的小说问世二十多年后，帕切特重温了她的早期作品。在这个特别的注释版中，这位广受好评的获奖作家向读者展示了这个故事，对她的原版提供了启发性的评论，包括对她的叙事选择和风格的反思。帕切特是一位回顾年轻时的成熟作家，她带我们深入了解了她的创作过程，并思考了她作为一名艺术家的职业生涯和成长，从那部小说到她近期的作品《汤姆湖》。

该注释版风趣、充满洞察力、非正式且常常出人意料地感人，它是与一位知名小说家的一次亲密接触，是一个通过她的眼睛重新审视一部伟大作品的机会，也是任何想要了解小说如何形成的人的指南。

A beautifully designed edition of number-one New York Times bestselling author Ann Patchett’s prized classic, annotated and with an introductionby the author herself.

'A book that works both as a paean to art and beauty and a subtly sly comedy of manners'New York Times

First published in 2001, Bel Canto is possibly Ann Patchett’s most beloved novel. Set in an unnamed South American country, at the home of the vice president, it is the story of a lavish birthday party honoring Mr. Hosokawa, a powerful Japanese businessman. Roxanne Coss, opera’s most revered soprano, has enthralled the international guests with a mesmerizing performance. The evening is perfect―until a band of gun-wielding dreadists takes the entire party hostage. But in Patchett’s skilled hands, what begins as a panicked, life-threatening scenario slowly evolves into something quite different, a moment of great beauty, as dreadists and hostages forge unexpected bonds and people from different continents become compatriots. Friendship, compassion, and the chance for great love lead the characters to forget the real danger that has been set in motion―and cannot be stopped.

Now, more than two decades after this bold and artistically daring novel’s debut, Patchett revisits her early work. In this special annotated edition, the acclaimed prize-winning author opens the story to readers, providing enlightening commentary on her original version, including reflections on her narrative choices and style. A mature writer looking back at her younger self, Patchett takes us deep into her creative process and considers her career and growth as an artist, from that novel to her most recent, Tom Lake.

Funny, full of insight, informal, and often unexpectedly moving, this annotated edition is an intimate encounter with a celebrated novelist, an opportunity to reconsider a great work through her eyes, and a guide for anyone who wants to understand how a novel takes form.
