The Library of Heartbeats

內容簡介

內容簡介 要尋找那些你失去的，你一定要聆聽自己的心跳聲...在日本豐島有一座遺世獨立的心跳圖書館，這裡收藏了來自全世界的造訪者的心跳聲，無論是還活著的，或已經去世的，他們的心跳聲依然在圖書館裡迴盪。好幾公里以外，在古老的鐮倉市，40歲的插畫家秀一回到老家整修因母親去世而荒廢的房子，還有一個神祕的8歲小男孩‧健太，一直在秀一家門前徘徊，日子一天天過去，秀一和健太兩人成為忘年之交，但他們還不知道的秘密，正引領他們走向心跳圖書館...旅居日本的義大利新銳作家梅西納，以小說《風之電話亭》感動國際讀者。其新作靈感同樣受日本公共藝術啟發。故事取材自豐島真實存在的心臟音資料館(心臓音のアーカイブ)，2008年由法國藝術家Christian Boltanski所創立，這個藝術計畫收集世界各地前往此處造訪的人的心跳聲，參觀者也可以錄製自己的心跳聲，將這個聲音永遠保存於館內，成為展覽的一部份。生人和逝者的心跳聲就在僻靜的小建築中不斷回蕩。心跳聲也是活著、存在著的證據。Christian Boltanski活過二戰時期，童年有過一段躲避納粹的黑暗回憶，他的作品總是直面死亡和創傷，對探究生命與死亡的課題從未停止，並用聲音、影像、裝置藝術等當代藝術媒介傳達給世人。Christian Boltanski已於2021年離世，但他所開啟的心臟音資料館依舊歡迎著來自各國的每一個旅人。From the international bestselling author of The Phone Box at the Edge of the World: a powerful, moving novel of grief, hope, friendship and love based around a real archive on an island in Japan, where people travel to record their heartbeats.To find what you have lost, you must listen to your heart . . .On the peaceful Japanese island of Teshima there is a library of heartbeats, a place where the heartbeats of visitors from all around the world are collected.
