大腦不斷重播被折磨的感覺， 所有的記憶和聯想都受到毒害， 唯一的避難方式只有遠離所有情感…… 曾經飽受躁鬱症之苦，人生彷彿墜入無盡深淵， 最後憑藉什麼信念成功走出，得到心靈的昇華？ 1909年，亞瑟．本森大病初癒， 提筆寫下這段與疾病抗爭的心路歷程。 【媒體好評】 “An amazing document in spiritual autobiography, valuable for its revelation of what a man thinketh, and abounding in golden phrases and sentences of rhythmic beauty, such as Benson's admirers have learned to expect from the great Cambridge stylist.”―Christian Advocate 「一部具傳奇色彩的自傳式精神世界的成長史，作家本森依然秉承劍橋大學出身的文學家的一貫創作風格，讓讀者享受豐富的、有韻律和優美的文筆及金句之餘，更啟發和引領讀者進入人類的思考層面和境界。」――《基督教導報》 “A piece of real literature of the highest order, beautiful and fragrant.
