本書也是2005年美國《時代》雜誌票選的百大英語小說之一。

當真情愛侶步上婚姻生活

當追求不凡的心在現實中難以逃脫......

《真愛旅程》原著書名Revolutionary Road出版於1961年,當年出版後確實有革命性的影響力,不但驚動文壇名家,更立刻入圍大獎。馮內果準確地說出本書的重要性,他說這個故事是屬於他那一代人的《大亨小傳》。

葉慈透過筆下一對住在郊區的惠勒夫婦,重現了凡夫俗子生命中不可承受的現實:生命給人希望,往往又在同一時間推翻了這份希望。想像六零年代美國典型的郊區家庭生活: 白天男人擠火車到城裡作一份無趣的工作維持生計,女人待在屋裡照顧孩子整理屋子,除了一成不變的社交循環 ,除了一覺醒來仍然一樣的明天,惠勒夫妻還想要不一樣的,他們能夠走到哪裡..........是艾波夢想中的巴黎,還是?

作者簡介

理查.葉慈(Richard Yates)

葉慈生於一九二六年美國紐約揚克斯市,二戰期間曾加入美軍,戰後在雷明頓蘭德公司擔任文宣撰稿員,六○年代曾為甘迺迪參議員撰寫演講稿。一九五三年,他開始創作,除了《真愛旅程》他還有八部作品,包括三本小說:A Good School、The Easter Parade,及Disturbing the Peace;及兩本短篇故事集Eleven Kinds of Loneliness和Liars in Love。

《真愛旅程》不但是葉慈最具代表性的作品,也是最成功捕捉美國五六零年代社會面貌的作品。葉慈獨到的社會體驗及觀察形塑了他細膩憂傷的社會寫實筆法,他的風格直接影響了後世名家如雷蒙.卡佛及理查.福特等人.。即使橫跨了四十多年,當代英國暢銷作家尼克宏比依然要說:「這本書輕而易舉就能擄獲我。」足見本書已通過歲月考驗,成了超越時間限制的經典小說。

In the hopeful 1950s, Frank and April Wheeler appear to be a model couple: bright, beautiful, talented, with two young children and a starter home in the suburbs. Perhaps they married too young and started a family too early. Maybe Frank’s job is dull. And April never saw herself as a housewife. Yet they have always lived on the assumption that greatness is only just around the corner. But now that certainty is about to crumble.

With heartbreaking compassion and remorseless clarity, Richard Yates shows how Frank and April mortgage their spiritual birthright, betraying not only each other, but their best selves.
