马戏团为文学创作提供了一个绚丽多彩的舞台,上面上演了各种奇异的冒险犯罪活动。在表面的喧嚣狂欢和把戏之下,这本书也探讨了深层次的生与死的问题。例如,书中有一对双胞胎,哥哥可以看到人们的过去,而姐姐可以预见他们的未来,你认为这两种能力,哪一个能为强大呢?
Here the concept of magic is hardly simple. The competitors perform real feats , yet must present them as tricks because audiences preferillusion to truth. This tension, between the force of the material world and the will of theimagination, lies at the centre of this book. It neatly addresses a paradox at the heart of allfiction: that the best fabrication seems true; that a make-believe world can be built sointricately that readers feel its edges. Ms Morgenstern has crafted a thrilling andtransporting tale. In so doing she makes it clear that of all the shapes magic may take,storytelling is often the most powerful of them all.
这里,魔术的概念一点都不简单。作家们上演着真实的奇迹,但是却要用一种魔术的方式呈现出来,因为读者们更喜欢接近于真实的幻象。真实世界的力量和无穷的想象力之间的较量,正是此书的核心。此书阐明了所有小说的一个悖论之处:编的最好的故事一定是看起来最真实的;作者精妙构思的虚拟世界看起来如此真实,读者们几乎可以感觉到这个世界就在身边。摩根斯坦创造了一个扣人心弦的故事,大受欢迎广为传播。她以她的行动证明了,尽管魔术可以以很多种形式呈现出来,但其中最具影响力的一定是讲故事。
