Rate this book
◎一部感動人心的的法國藝術小說,
透過52幅偉大藝術巨作探索生命與美!

52週,這是蒙娜僅剩能發現這個世界之美的時間。這也是她的祖父「爺耶」為自己設定的時間。

10歲的蒙娜和她摯愛的祖父,在僅剩52個星期三的時間內,要在她永遠失明之前,一起參觀52件藝術作品,將「世間所有的美」深深記在心裡。

醫生無法解釋蒙娜短暫失明的原因,但認為未來她非常有可能完全喪失視力。「爺耶」或許無法阻止孫女失明,但他能用美麗填滿即將襲來的黑暗。因此,這位博學且古怪的長者決定,在蒙娜可能永遠失去視力之前,在每週三放學之後,要引導她探索一件件的藝術作品。

他們將一起遊歷羅浮宮、奧塞美術館和龐畢度中心。
他們將一起驚嘆、感動、思索,並被一幅畫或一座雕塑深深吸引。

藉由波提切利、維梅爾、戈雅、庫爾貝、克勞岱爾、卡蘿或巴斯奇亞的視角,蒙娜發現了藝術的力量,學習到天賦、懷疑、憂鬱與反抗,這就是她祖父希望能永遠銘刻在她心中的珍貴寶藏。蒙娜學習每位藝術家如何以創作改變世界,而藝術的力量,也深刻地改變了這位小女孩的世界。

在祖父溫柔而細緻的引導下,蒙娜體會到真正的慷慨、哀愁、愛、失落,以及革命的意義。她看待世界的方式從此不同——讀者亦然。

《蒙娜之眼》不僅述說著一段橫跨500年西洋藝術史的旅程,更是一部有關藝術和人生的偉大啟蒙小說,描述的是一個小女孩與其祖父之間溫暖如陽光般的關係。

本書為法國藝術史學者,也是橫空出世的天才型作家湯瑪士・謝勒斯(Thomas Schlesser)令人驚豔的小說處女作,是一本訴說生命之美的深情作品,也是一則關於祖孫情誼的動人故事。
