Double Tongue
With an introduction by Meg Rosoff William Golding's final novel, left in draft at his death, tells the story of a priestess of Apollo. Arieka is one of the last to prophesy at Delphi, in the shadowy years when the Romans were securing their grip on the tribes and cities of Greece. The plain, unloved daughter of a local grandee, she is rescued from the contempt and neglect of her family by her Delphic role. Her ambiguous attitude to the god and her belief in him seem to move in parallel with the decline of the god himself - but things are more complicated than they appear. "A remarkable work...A compelling storyteller as well as a clear-eyed philosopher of the dangerous puzzles of being human." (The Times). "A wonderful central character. The story stretches out as clean and dry and clear as the beach in Lord of the Flies."(Independent). "Feline, deadpan and at moments hilarious." (Observer).行走的狼尸(外一篇)
清晨出发,傍晚归来。勇敢的猎人,你走过了两千座山和五百条河流,见过了三百只狼和五十只狐狸。如果你要给人们讲故事,那就请你讲狼的故事吧,因为狼的故事最好听。是这只狼挑起了这场血肉之搏。它已饥饿很久,发现这头牦牛后便紧紧尾随。牦牛在夏天会从雪线下到河滩中吃草,有时候甚至头低下好久都不抬起,似乎地上有永远吃不完的东西。牦牛是肥硕的,走动时四蹄踩出“咣咣咣”的声响,其尖利粗壮的双角看上去让人骇然。
