　　The illuminating national bestseller: "Vertiginously

exciting…vibrantly imagined….[Krauss is] a prodigious

talent."—Janet Maslin, New York Times

A long-lost book reappears, mysteriously connecting an old man

searching for his son and a girl seeking a cure for her widowed

mother's loneliness.

Leo Gursky is just about surviving, tapping his radiator each

evening to let his upstairs neighbor know he's still alive. But

life wasn't always like this: sixty years ago, in the Polish

village where he was born, Leo fell in love and wrote a book. And

though Leo doesn't know it, that book survived, inspiring fabulous

circumstances, even love. Fourteen-year-old Alma was named after a

character in that very book. And although she has her hands

full—keeping track of her brother, Bird (who thinks he might be the

Messiah), and taking copious notes on How to Survive in the

Wild—she undertakes an adventure to find her namesake and save her

family. With consummate, spellbinding skill, Nicole Krauss

gradually draws together their stories.

This extraordinary book was inspired by the author's four

grandparents and by a pantheon of authors whose work is haunted by

loss—Bruno Schulz, Franz Kafka, Isaac Babel, and more. It is truly

a history of love: a tale brimming with laughter, irony, passion,

and soaring imaginative power.

阿拉伯的领袖们具有最全面的直觉，并且依赖直觉。他们的直觉是一种尚未被认识的预见力。他们像女人一样能够迅速、毫不费力地理解和判断，而没有什么理由可以解释。这大概是由于东方排斥妇女从政，因而妇女的天资都被赐予给了男人。我们能够很快取胜，行动保密且有规律，个中原因也许可以部分地归结为这种双重天赋。它不仅弥补而且进一步加强了阿拉伯运动的罕见特点——自始至终这场运动中除了母骆驼外就没有一个女性。

《智慧的七柱》序言

致S.A.

我爱你，因此我将这些如潮的人流拉进我的手中

在繁星灿烂的天空里写下我的心愿

去为你赢来自由——那有七根支柱的智慧之屋

你的眼睛会为我而闪耀

当我们来的时候

死神似乎是我征途上的仆人，直到我们走近你

看见你在等待

当你微笑时，悲戚地嫉妒时，他追上了我

并把你拉走

带入他无言的寂静之中

爱，是劳累的旅程，为了寻求你，拿出我们微薄的报酬

我们眼下的所有

当大地柔软的手触摸你的身体之前，当这盲目的蠕虫

长肥之前，靠着

你的血肉

人们恳求我开始工作，将这不可侵犯的房子

作为对你的纪念

但是为将它建作纪念碑，我在完成之前毁掉它

这些小小的碎屑之物垒起来缀成的小屋

在你的赠礼

毁坏的阴影里

人皆有梦，但多寡不同。夜间做梦的人，日间醒来发现心灵尘灰深处所梦不过是虚华一场；但日间做梦的人则是危险人物，因为他们睁着眼行其所梦，甚至使之可能。而我就是如此。我打算建立一个国家，重建一种已沦丧的影响力，提供两千万闪族人Semite一块磐石，让他们得以创立维系民族精神的梦幻殿堂。如此崇高的理想需要他们心灵中固有的高贵情怀，并让他们积极参与；然而当我们胜利后，我却成为众矢之的，谓我使英国在美索不达米亚地区原本享有的采油特权陷于未定之天，而法国在黎凡特Levant的殖民政权也论于幻灭

可叹的是，阿拉伯人奇怪我为什么没有马。我没有对他们讲这是在砥砺自己，也没有说是为了省着使用牲口，我宁可走路也不骑马。这些话是他们难以理解的，我不打算因这些话而使他们心中疑惑，尽管第一个理由是真的，第二个理由也是真的。当看到那些人低级的生活形式的时候，我心中就会产生某种令人不快的感觉，伤害着我的自尊。他们的存在反映着我们人类的卑下，这是神祇用来观察我们的方式。利用他们，接受本可不受的他们的恩惠，在我看来是可耻的。就说那些黑人，每夜在山岭下嗵嗵地敲鼓欢娱，如痴如狂，他们的脸和我们明显不同，这可以接受，但他们的身体竟然和我们的一样，这就令人十分不快。

those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.

the weak envied those who tired enough to die; for success looked so remote, and failure a near and certain, if sharp, release from toil.

　　The History of Love spans of period of over 60 years

and takes readers from Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe to present day

Brighton Beach. At the center of each main character's psyche is

the issue of loneliness, and the need to fill a void left empty by

lost love. Leo Gursky is a retired locksmith who immigrates to New

York after escaping SS officers in his native Poland, only to spend

the last stage of his life terrified that no one will notice when

he dies. ("I try to make a point of being seen. Sometimes when I'm

out, I'll buy a juice even though I'm not thirsty.")

Fourteen-year-old Alma Singer vacillates between wanting to

memorialize her dead father and finding a way to lift her mother's

veil of depression. At the same time, she's trying to save her

brother Bird, who is convinced he may be the Messiah, from becoming

a 10-year-old social pariah. As the connection between Leo and Alma

is slowly unmasked, the desperation, along with the potential for

salvation, of this unique pair is also revealed.
