看完Tigana以后一直对GGK比较感兴趣……
今天偶然在网上看到这么一条消息，说是GGK的新书是从中国公元8世纪的唐朝时期获得灵感的，书名叫UNDER HEAVEN……不知道会是什么样的书，总之比较期待，不知道会不会有中文版[s:1]

I think we might as well start a new topic thread for a new book.
After discussions and emails with publishers, it seems they are ready to prepare press releases and online catalogue announcements of the new novel, which means it'll likely show up on amazon and elsewhere very soon. I've always told Deborah I'd try to have brightweavings be the first source for major news (I know this thread is called Minor News, I was being cute.)
The new novel is called UNDER HEAVEN. It is a long, single-volume historical fantasy inspired by the extraordinary Tang Dynasty, essentially 8th century China.
It will appear in the English-language markets in April and May of 2010.
When the press release is sent out I'll make a point of getting it to Deborah, too. It'll have a few more details
I appreciate the patience and goodwill of all the denizens, and readers around the world. I know I don't produce novels that swiftly. I'll hope readers decide this one was worth the wait.

内容简介：
In the novel, Shen Tai is the son of a general who led the forces of imperial Kitai in the empire's last great war against its western enemies, twenty years before. Forty thousand men, on both sides, were slain by a remote mountain lake. General Shen Gao himself has died recently, having spoken to his son in later years about his sadness in the matter of this terrible battle.
To honour his father's memory, Tai spends two years in official mourning alone at the battle site by the blue waters of Kuala Nor. Each day he digs graves in hard ground to bury the bones of the dead. At night he can hear the ghosts moan and stir, terrifying voices of anger and lament. Sometimes he realizes that a given voice has ceased its crying, and he knows that is one he has laid to rest.
The dead by the lake are equally Kitan and their Taguran foes; there is no way to tell the bones apart, and he buries them all with honour.
It is during a routine supply visit led by a Taguran officer who has reluctantly come to befriend him that Tai learns that others, much more powerful, have taken note of his vigil. The White Jade Princess Cheng-wan, 17th daughter of the Emperor of Kitai, presents him with two hundred and fifty Sardian horses. They are being given in royal recognition of his courage and piety, and the honour he has done the dead.
You gave a man one of the famed Sardian horses to reward him greatly. You gave him four or five to exalt him above his fellows, propel him towards rank, and earn him jealousy, possibly mortal jealousy. Two hundred and fifty is an unthinkable gift, a gift to overwhelm an emperor.
Tai is in deep waters. He needs to get himself back to court and his own emperor, alive. Riding the first of the Sardian horses, and bringing news of the rest, he starts east towards the glittering, dangerous capital of Kitai, and the Ta-Ming Palace - and gathers his wits for a return from solitude by a mountain lake to his own forever-altered life. |
