死海之滨

by Shūsaku Endō, 远藤周作, 田建国 (Translator)

《死海之滨》为日本文坛巨匠、芥川奖获得者远藤周作，继《沉默》结束七年后又一部对爱与人性、妥协与反抗、忠诚与背叛的长篇小说。

故事在双重时空下展开，由“朝圣”和“群像中人”两条叙事线索交替进行。现代的“我”在耶路撒冷追寻耶稣曾经的足迹，“新约”时代六个身份各异的人物见证耶稣的献身。从“母性的神”到“永远的同伴者”，一段追寻耶稣真实面貌的朝圣之旅，一部探寻爱与信仰的长篇力作。人们究竟在渴求着怎样的爱与救赎？远藤周作将笔触伸向每个人心灵中那片暧昧幽深的地带，运用细腻复杂的心理描写剥开真实的人性百态。

About the author

Shusaku Endo (遠藤周作), born in Tokyo in 1923, was raised by his mother and an aunt in Kobe where he converted to Roman Catholicism at the age of eleven. At Tokyo's Keio University he majored in French literature, graduating BA in 1949, before furthering his studies in French Catholic literature at the University of Lyon in France between 1950 and 1953. A major theme running through his books, which have been translated into many languages, including English, French, Russian and Swedish, is the failure of Japanese soil to nurture the growth of Christianity. Before his death in 1996, Endo was the recipient of a number of outstanding Japanese literary awards: the Akutagawa Prize, Mainichi Cultural Prize, Shincho Prize, and Tanizaki Prize.

“我们见外地了一会儿不痛不痒的话，相互试探着漫长岁月中对方已经改变的地方。”
“他说神也很寂寞，还说神也像女人渴求男人的爱一样渴求着人类。”
“夜琴降临，万籁俱静，一片黑暗。这时，有一个人在思考着爱。”
