An extraordinary new novel from the author of Never Let Me Go and the Booker Prize-winning The Remains of the Day.

"You've long set your heart against it, Axl, I know. But it's time now to think on it anew. There's a journey we must go on, and no more delay . . ."

The Buried Giant begins as a couple set off across a troubled land of mist and rain in the hope of finding a son they have not seen in years.

Sometimes savage, often intensely moving, Kazuo Ishiguro's first novel in nearly a decade is about lost memories, love, revenge, and war.

石黑一雄作为英国文学“移民三杰”之一，其写作格局已超越一般作家的范畴。从那部让他35岁即拿下英国布克奖的《长日留痕》到如今这本《被掩埋的巨人》，已经整整过去27年，写作风格有了显著变化，从当初的写实题材到现在的奇幻题材，其中也断停创作达10年之久，只出过一部短篇...

多年的婚姻生活趋于平淡时，感情陷入瓶颈时，面临重大抉择时，人们常说：“想想当初热恋的甜蜜吧，想想你们共同捱过的难关，想想他（她）曾经怎样吸引了你。”可是，记忆是把双刃剑——倘若记忆不复存在，爱情还能延续吗？倘若记忆过于深刻，竭力遗忘的阴霾会不会永远刺痛想要...

石黑一雄好魔性……这书开头略无聊，没想到越往后越抓人，结局依然让人伤感。

Quite different as it is from other works by Ishiguro, The Buried Giant, a novel published 10 years after the author's last novel, attempts to deliberate upon serious themes under the guise of children's fantasy. A book about memory and love, it makes full use of the plot to exhibit how the history mingles with tales, tradition and humanity.

石黑一雄好魔性……这书开头略无聊，没想到越往后越抓人，结局依然让人伤感。

一开始感觉误入玄幻史诗游戏，龙啊，食人兽啊，总觉得有点中二/行文一如既往地清晰，虽然讲的是一个记忆被迷雾掩盖的故事，有一种远古的古典气息/第四本石黑一雄，每一本的风格相差太大，各种设定下都没有令人失望/两条主线，国仇+家恨，两难的选择/开篇非常好，一下子进入了情境/最后的结局耐人寻味，船夫是死神无疑了，但是两夫妻找回了所有记忆后，互相谅解了吗？Axl没有上船，也没有在岸边等待，应该是与妻子分开了，只是两人是在怎样的心情下分开的，这一点其实也没有明说/这才是第一流作品吧，没有一个明确答案，却不让你大呼上当，因为本来就不是要给你一个答案来着
