THE BLACK BOX

Book ID/图书代码： 04380018C00001

English Summary/英文概要： In 1991, two Bulgarian brothers, Ned and Angel, receive an unusual package from the USA; a black plastic box containing the ashes of their late father, Professor Emmanuel Banov. But are they really his ashes? How can the brothers be sure? And why would anyone want to fake their father’s death? 15 years later, as the brothers forge new and very different lives (Ned a management consultant; Ango a dog walker to the rich) in their new home in New York, some answers begin to emerge . . . A darkly comic tale of disillusionment, "The Black Box" explores the nature and logic of neo-liberal capitalism and how so many of us are driven to acts of greed, imprudence, and recklessness in the pursuit of money and wealth.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1991年，两个保加利亚兄弟，内德和安吉尔，收到了来自美国的一个不寻常的包裹;一个黑色的塑料盒子，里面装着他们已故父亲伊曼纽尔•巴诺夫教授的骨灰。但它们真的是他的骨灰吗?兄弟俩怎么能确定呢?为什么有人想要伪造他们父亲的死亡呢?15年后，兄弟俩开始了截然不同的新生活(内德是一名管理顾问;安吉尔是富人的遛狗者)，在他们纽约的新家，一些答案开始浮出水面……《黑盒子》是一个关于幻灭的黑色喜剧故事，它探讨了新自由主义资本主义的本质和逻辑，以及我们当中有多少人在追求金钱和财富的过程中，是如何被迫做出贪婪、轻率和鲁莽的行为的。（WYL）
