英文简介:
LONGLISTED FOR THE 2023 BOOKER PRIZE An astonishing novel about a young microbiologistinvestigating an unfathomable deep vent in the ocean floor, leading her on ajourney that will encompass the full trajectory of the cosmos and the passageof a single human life Leigh grew up in Rotterdam, drawn to the waterfront as anescape from her unhappy home life and volatile father.
Enchanted by theundersea world of her childhood, she excels in marine biology, travelling theglobe to study ancient organisms.
When a trench is discovered in the Atlanticocean, Leigh joins the exploration team, hoping to find evidence of the earth’sfirst life forms – what she instead finds calls into question everything weknow about our own beginnings.
Her discovery leads Leigh to the Mojave desert and an ambitious new spaceagency.
Drawn deeper into the agency’s work, she learns that the Atlantictrench is only one of several related phenomena from across the world, eachpiece linking up to suggest a pattern beyond human understanding.
Leigh knowsthat to continue working with the agency will mean leaving behind her decliningmother and her younger sister, and faces an impossible choice: to remain withher family, or to embark on a journey across the breadth of the cosmos.
Exploring the natural world with the wonder and reverence we usually reservefor the stars, In Ascension is a compassionate, deeply inquisitiveepic that reaches outward to confront the greatest questions of existence,looks inward to illuminate the smallest details of the human heart, and showshow – no matter how far away we might be and how much we have lost hope – wewill always attempt to return to the people and places we call home.
中文简介:
入围 2023 年布克奖这部令人惊叹的小说讲述了一位年轻的微生物学家调查海底深不可测的深渊，带领她踏上一段涵盖宇宙完整轨迹和单个人类生命历程的旅程。
海滨是她逃离不幸的家庭生活和反复无常的父亲的逃避之地。
她从小就对海底世界着迷，擅长海洋生物学，周游世界研究古代生物。
当大西洋中发现一条海沟时，莉加入了探索队，希望找到地球上第一个生命形式的证据，但她的发现却让我们对自己起源的一切都产生了质疑。
她的发现将莉带到了莫哈韦沙漠和一个雄心勃勃的新太空机构。
通过深入了解该机构的工作，她了解到大西洋海沟只是世界各地的几种相关现象之一，每一种现象都相互联系起来，暗示着一种超出人类理解的模式。
莉知道继续与该机构合作将意味着离开她日渐衰弱的母亲和妹妹，她面临着一个不可能的选择：与家人在一起，还是踏上穿越宇宙的旅程。
《扬升》带着我们通常对星星的好奇和敬畏来探索自然世界，这是一部富有同情心、深刻好奇的史诗，它向外直面存在的最大问题，向内审视以照亮人类内心最微小的细节，并展示了——不无论我们距离多远，无论我们多么失去希望，我们都会尝试回到我们称之为家的人和地方。
