生而為人,如何定義自由?
抵達自由的瞬間,是否就能開啟天堂之門? 
——
一個男孩悲傷的成長史,顛覆歐洲中心主義意識形態書寫的非洲歷史
——
二〇二一年諾貝爾文學獎得主入圍布克獎經典代表作,全新繁體中文譯本 
 
  他告訴自己,他不會再為父母哀傷。他不會。他們在許多年前拋棄了他,換取自己的自由,現在輪到他拋棄他們。如果他的深陷牢籠曾讓父母得到些許喘息,現在也結束了,因為他將打造自己的人生。當他自由漂浪草原,或許有一天他會去拜訪他們,感謝他們的嚴苛教訓,讓他得以面對人生。——〈同一血塊〉《天堂》
 
  來自坦尚尼亞的古納,於一九六〇年代移居英國求學,著有多部小說,作品圍繞難民與流亡,聚焦身分認同、種族衝突及歷史書寫等,在二〇二一年榮獲諾貝爾文學獎。書評家普遍認為,古納的作品在在呈現了殖民主義對世界的影響、戰爭所留下的創傷及難民流亡等經歷。
 
  《天堂》是古納早期作品,出版當時即入圍布克獎和惠特布萊德獎,既是一個男孩的成長史,也是一個憂傷的愛情故事,更是一個歐洲殖民主義腐蝕非洲大陸的故事。古納從非洲人的角度講述非洲殖民化的歷程,可謂顛覆了歐洲中心主義意識形態書寫的非洲歷史。
 
  故事從主人翁優素福說起,年幼的他被父親賣掉以償還債務,因此踏上一段難以想像的旅程。他加入債主經營的商隊,體會了東非大陸神祕卻豐富的生活樣態。經歷鄉村草原到濱海城市的生活,他從一個孩童成長為一個青年,目睹部落交易間的角力、難以驗證的迷信事件、商人和村民間的複雜關係,體驗了殘酷的現實世界。身處在東非的多元社會,要面對阿拉伯人、印度人的種族問題,也要面對歐洲人的入侵及衝突。故事透過優素福受盡剝削、身不由己的奴役生活,突顯了悲慘淒涼的命運,思考著自由的真諦。  
 
  《天堂》的題目亦極具諷刺意味。在書中,優素福被賣給富商抵債為奴,常在如天堂般的富商家中花園徘徊忘返,但眾人眼中的天堂卻也是他人難以明白的地獄。書中不僅有「天堂裡多數住民是窮人,地獄裡多數住客是貪婪者」這般現實而又帶哲思的觀點,更不斷反思探討自由的意義。古納的文筆細膩動人,從故事裡提煉出多層的隱喻及對生命的叩問。 
 
  《天堂》在英國首次出版於一九九四年,與他出版於二〇二〇年的最新創作《來世》相差二十六年,創作格局及企圖心恰成對照,可窺出作家寫作核心的轉移。這些創作路上的歷程轉變,古納在諾貝爾獎獲獎致辭中也表述得相當清楚深刻,致辭講稿亦特別收錄於書中。另一可供讀者參考的彩蛋是,《天堂》故事中的主人翁讓人聯想起《來世》裡的人物而被稱為前傳,這點就留待讀者在書中探索。
 
  ◆譯者何穎怡親自朗讀精彩段落◆
  〈慾望園林〉
 
  優素福覺得自己好像噩夢方醒。他告訴哈利爾旅行途中他經常覺得自己像脫了殼的動物,暴露曠野,是頭醜惡可怖的野獸,盲目爬行垃圾與荊棘,沿途留下骯髒痕跡。他覺得他們其實都是如此,在茫茫荒野裡蹣跚前進。他感覺的恐懼並不是害怕,更像是自己並不真實存在,活在夢裡,跨過毀滅的邊界。這讓他狐疑人們如此渴望的東西是什麼,可以克服尋找交易過程中的這種恐懼。此行並非全是恐懼,一點也不,但是恐懼賦予所有東西形體。而且他看過怎樣都無法預期的景觀。
 
  他說:「山頂的光是綠色的。我從沒想過光可以是那種顏色。空氣乾淨得像洗過似的。當清晨陽光撒落蓋滿了雪的山頭,感覺像是永恆,好像那一刻會永遠停留不變。黃昏時待在湖邊,講話的聲音可以一直飄向天際。有一晚,我們在山區,停在瀑布旁。那瀑布美到好像一切圓滿。我從未見過那麼美的東西。你能聽見神明的呼吸。然後一個男人跑來想趕走我們。不管白天晚上,每一個地方都因各種聲響嗡鳴震動。一天下午靠近湖邊,我看到兩頭吼海鵰靜靜棲在橡膠樹上。突然牠們猛力往上衝,尖叫了二、三聲,脖子往後,鳥喙張開朝天,翅膀拍動,身體緊繃。一會兒後,湖的那一頭傳來微弱回應。又過幾分鐘,一片白色羽毛從雄鳥身上脫落,在一片寂靜中慢慢飄落地面。」
 
  哈利爾聆聽不說話,偶爾嗯嗯響應。當優素福以為他睡著,停嘴,他馬上在黑暗中冒出問題,督促優素福繼續說。有時優素福回想到廣袤的紅色大地上擁簇人類與動物,山崖聳立湖裡如火焰之牆,自己也會震懾無言。
 
  優素福說:「像天堂之門。」

The Toy Annie Always Comes Back To
Size: X-Small, Color: Pink
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These have become one of Annie's all-time favorite toys. Annie is a tiny 4-pound dog, and she can be surprisingly picky about toys. She has a basket full of options, but she consistently comes back to her nubby Nylabones. I think the size and texture are a big part of why she likes them so much. They're easy for her to carry around, chew on, and play with by herself. Whenever I buy a new one, it quickly becomes part of her regular toy rotation. As a small-dog owner, I appreciate finding toys that are appropriately sized and actually get used instead of being ignored after a few days. If you have a tiny dog who loves to chew, these are definitely worth trying. They've been a favorite in our house for a long time.

Dogs love these!
Size: Small, Color: Pink
My miniature Goldendoodle puppies love these! The only drawback is after several weeks of chewing, the bones develop pretty sharp edges long before the actual bone has been worn down. At that point, they are dangerous for the dog’s gums and must be thrown away.

🦴 Micro Bone, Major Relief; Perfect Puppy Teething Chew Toy
Size: X-Small, Color: Blue, Size: X-Small, Color: Blue
🐾 Hi, I’m PVD; teething survivor, nub enthusiast, and gum massage advocate. This tiny blue bone was my day-one favorite from 8 weeks to 5.5 months, it handled every chew session, tantrum, and tooth eruption with dignity. I’ve officially “aged out,” but I still salute it. ⭐ Why it earned 5 stars: ✔️ Perfect XS size for toy breed jaws ✔️ Soft on sore gums, durable enough for dramatic chewing ✔️ Ridges + nubs = mouth spa treatment ✔️ Chilling it = elite teething relief ✔️ Kept me busy and prevented chewing on illegal things (furniture, shoes… mother) 🌀 Why I’m now gracefully retiring it (but still recommending): ✘ Jaw strength and confidence grew but I didn’t vibe with the larger size versions (tried and rejected them with judgment) ✘ Texture now too gentle for my post-teething chew style ✘ Advanced chewers may get bored once the rage-chewing era passes ✘ I get gum relief via Nylabone Nubz edible chews now Best For: • XS-Small breed puppies, especially under 5 lbs • Teething stages + gum relief • Delicate chewers or fur babies still in the love-bite phase • First-time puppy parents (trust me, this bone prevents household drama!) • 8 weeks–6 months old 🚫 Not for adult teeth or advanced chew techniques. 📝 Final Re-Barks: Iconic starter bone for toy breed pups. Affordable, safe, and genuinely soothing during teething chaos. It carried me through the hardest months (and saved several legs; both human and furniture). I’ve outgrown it; but I’ll forever endorse it for the next generation of tiny chewers. — PVD (Tiny Tooth Graduate, Former Chew Therapy Success Story 🧊🦴)

Nylabone Puppy Treat Starter Pack - A Mixed Bag of Delight and Disappointment
Size: Small, Color: Blue
I recently purchased the Nylabone Puppy Treat Starter Pack for my adorable 5lb puppy, and overall, I have mixed feelings about this product. While I was initially satisfied with the variety pack, one of the bones in particular left me disappointed due to its lack of durability. Let's start with the positives. The Nylabone Puppy Treat Starter Pack comes with three different toys: a blue puppy teething toy, a nylon dog toy, and a chew treat. This variety is great for keeping my puppy engaged and entertained, especially during the teething phase. The blue puppy teething toy is specifically designed for soothing sore gums, and my puppy seemed to find great relief when chewing on it. It has a pleasant texture that is gentle on the teeth and gums, making it an ideal choice for teething puppies. The nylon dog toy included in the pack is durable and sturdy. It has a satisfyingly textured surface that provides an excellent chewing experience for my little furry friend. The toy is designed to withstand the strong chewing habits of puppies, and it has certainly proven to be long-lasting compared to other toys I've tried in the past. My puppy enjoys gnawing on it for extended periods without any signs of damage. Now, let's address the bone that failed to meet expectations. One of the bones included in the pack was devoured by my puppy within a single evening. I was taken aback by how quickly it was consumed, especially considering my puppy's small size. While the other bones in the pack held up well, this particular one lacked the durability I had hoped for. I understand that puppies have strong jaws, but I expected the bone to withstand more than a few hours of chewing. Despite this disappointment, I must mention that the bone did not cause any harm to my puppy. It is important to supervise your puppy while they chew on any toys, especially if they have a tendency to swallow large chunks. In this case, I was fortunate that my puppy did not experience any adverse effects after consuming the bone. However, it's crucial to exercise caution and ensure that your puppy doesn't ingest anything that could potentially be harmful. Overall, while the Nylabone Puppy Treat Starter Pack has its upsides, I cannot ignore the fact that one of the bones failed to meet expectations in terms of durability. However, the other toys included in the pack provided a satisfactory experience for my puppy, and they have proven to be long-lasting. I would recommend this product with the caveat that you closely monitor your puppy's chewing habits and potentially avoid the bone that didn't hold up well in my particular case.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for teething puppies
Size: Small, Color: Pink
I purchased the Nylabone puppy chew toys for my teething puppy, and they’ve been a big help. The toys are the perfect size for a young puppy and feel durable without being too hard. My puppy enjoys chewing on them, and they’ve helped redirect chewing away from furniture and shoes. I also like that they’re designed specifically for puppies, so they’re gentle enough for growing teeth and gums. The variety in the set keeps my puppy interested, and the toys have held up well with daily use. They’re easy to clean and feel safe to give to a puppy. Overall, these are great chew toys for puppies. They’re effective, well made, and helpful during the teething stage. I would definitely recommend them to new puppy owners.
