善以內斂手法描繪愛爾蘭社會及移民生活的文學巨擘柯姆托賓，這次將目光放在放在另一位大師，歷史評價兩極的托瑪斯曼身上。在虛構與事實交錯間，以含蓄卻飽滿的小說筆法，呈現這位諾貝爾文學獎得主在偉大鉅作背後，顛沛奇詭的一生。THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLERWINNER OF THE RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZE 2022 SHORTLISTED FOR THE WALTER SCOTT PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL FICTION 2022From one of our greatest living writers comes a sweeping novel of unrequited love and exile, war and family.

He would write some of the greatest works of European literature, and win the Nobel Prize, but would never return to the country that inspired his creativity. Through one life, Colm Toibin
