　　諾貝爾獎得主、文壇大師加布列．賈西亞．馬奎斯逝世十周年

　　大師遺稿《Until August》終於問世

　　安娜獨自坐在潟湖的藍色海水旁，端詳著飯店酒吧裡的男人們。她已經度過了27年幸福的婚姻生活，沒有任何逃避丈夫與孩子的理由。然而，每年的八月，她都無法遏制自己心中的那股慾望，搭乘渡輪前往母親長眠的島嶼，並在此結識新的露水情緣度過一晚。

　　加勒比海的傍晚，充滿著熱情的騷莎和波麗露舞，路上到處是登徒子和騙子。安娜每年都會來到此，進一步進入她心中隱藏的渴望與恐懼的腹地。愛情與孤獨、自由與遺憾，是馬奎斯在本書中所遺留給世人的課題。(文／博客來外文館)

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - The extraordinary rediscovered novel from the Nobel Prize-winning author of Love in the Time of Cholera and One Hundred Years of Solitude--a moving tale of female desire and abandon

Sitting alone beside the languorous blue waters of the lagoon, Ana Magdalena Bach contemplates the men at the hotel bar. She has been happily married for twenty-seven years and has no reason to escape the life she has made with her husband and children. And yet, every August, she travels by ferry here to the island where her mother is buried, and for one night takes a new lover.

Across sultry Caribbean evenings full of salsa and boleros, lotharios and conmen, Ana journeys further each year into the hinterland of her desire and the fear hidden in her heart.

Constantly surprising, joyously sensual, Until August is a profound meditation on freedom, regret, self-transformation, and the mysteries of love--an unexpected gift from one of the greatest writers the world has ever known.
