不想讨好全世界
我们生活中总会遇到一些人,他们看起来毫不起眼,在人群之中常被忽略,但他们存在着。你仔细听他们的故事,大起大落大离大合,这些小人物不是特别爱惜自己,不求别人的认可,但会把人性中最悲天悯人的部分发挥到极致。像忠诚、守信、重诺、尽责这些我们以为很容易就能做到,其实做起来很难的事,这些人却可以用一生坚持却从来不用谁认可。那些我们曾经推崇的英雄主义和理想主义,不仅仅是故事里的情节,而是这本书中真实存在的。这本书,让我们不好意思再把那些卖力的执著当成笑料和讽刺,让我们每个人不再盼望别人当好人,自己不再戴着面具做人。在这本书里和一群小人物不期而遇是幸福的。世界这么美好,根本不用讨好。Fly By Night
Everybody knew that books were dangerous. Read the wrong book, it was said, and the words crawled around your brain on black legs and drove you mad, wicked mad. Mosca Mye was born at a time sacred to Goodman Palpitattle, He Who Keeps Flies out of Jams and Butterchurns, which is why her father insisted on naming her after the housefly. He also insisted on teaching her to read—even in a world where books are dangerous, regulated things. Eight years later, Quillam Mye died, leaving behind an orphaned daughter with an inauspicious name and an all-consuming hunger for words. Trapped for years in the care of her cruel Uncle Westerly and Aunt Briony, Mosca leaps at the opportunity for escape, though it comes in the form of sneaky swindler Eponymous Clent. As she travels the land with Clent and her pet goose, Saracen, Mosca begins to discover complicated truths about the world she inhabits and the power of words.
