作者:Philip K. Dick
书名:The Man in the High Castle《高堡奇人》
中文简介:《高堡奇人》挑战了“美国例外主义”的基本原则。迪克在书中假设二战有了另外一种结局,反法西斯同盟被打败,全北美洲都被日本帝国和纳粹德国所征服,接下来这两大轴心国之间便开始“冷战”。整本书充满了东亚哲学原理,还包含了迪克自编的令人惊叹的“日英混合语”。作者通过创造这个平行世界,探讨了现实世界的真实性,人们面对迫害表达个性的方式,以及从民族自豪感中到底能获得多少真实“价值”。
英文简介:It's America in 1962. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still survive hide under assumed names. In San Francisco, the I Ching is as common as the Yellow Pages. All because some twenty years earlier the United States lost a war—and is now occupied by Nazi Germany and Japan.
This harrowing, Hugo Award-winning novel is the work that established Philip K. Dick as an innovator in science fiction while breaking the barrier between science fiction and the serious novel of ideas. In it Dick offers a haunting vision of history as a nightmare from which it may just be possible to wake.
