| 內容簡介： |
The Great Fire is Shirley Hazzard''s first novel since The
Transit of Venus, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award
in 1981. The conflagration of her title is the Second World War. In
war-torn Asia and stricken Europe, men and women, still young but
veterans of harsh experience, must reinvent their lives and
expectations, and learn, from their past, to dream again. Some will
fulfill their destinies, others will falter. At the centre of the
story, a brave and brilliant soldier finds that survival and
worldly achievement are not enough. His counterpart, a young girl
living in Occupied Japan and tending her dying brother, falls in
love, and in the process discovers herself. In the looming shadow
of world enmities resumed, and of Asia''s coming centrality in world
affairs, a man and a woman seek to recover self-reliance, balance,
and tenderness, struggling to reclaim their humanity.
