內容簡介: |
Jeanette Winterson’s novels have established her as one of the
most important young writers in world literature. The Passion is
perhaps her most highly acclaimed work, a modern classic that
confirms her special claim on the novel. Set during the tumultuous
years of the Napoleonic Wars, The Passion intertwines the destinies
of two remarkable people: Henri, a simple French soldier, who
follows Napoleon from glory to Russian ruin; and Villanelle, the
red-haired, web-footed daughter of a Venetian boatman, whose
husband has gambled away her heart. In Venice’s compound of
carnival, chance, and darkness, the pair meet their singular
destiny.
In her unique and mesmerizing voice, Winterson blends reality
with fantasy, dream, and imagination to weave a hypnotic tale with
stunning effects.
