寓意深刻、風趣詼諧的奇幻大冒險──The Assassination of Brangwain Spurge（Illustrated Ed.）
精靈王國的歷史學家Brangwain被國家指派執行一項重要外交任務。他將深入地精王國領土，把象徵兩國和平公約的寶物獻祭給神祕的黑暗國王，同時也需暗地監視地精王國，將國家機密情資神不知鬼不覺地傳送回精靈王國。然而，在浩瀚的間諜任務歷史中，沒有精靈活著回來的先例……
Subverting convention, award-winning creators M. T. Anderson and Eugene Yelchin pair up for an anarchic, outlandish, and deeply political saga of warring elf and goblin kingdoms.
Uptight elfin historian Brangwain Spurge is on a mission: survive being catapulted across the mountains into goblin territory, deliver a priceless peace offering to their mysterious dark lord, and spy on the goblin kingdom — from which no elf has returned alive in more than a hundred years. Brangwain’s host, the goblin archivist Werfel, is delighted to show Brangwain around. They should be the best of friends, but a series of extraordinary double crosses, blunders, and cultural misunderstandings throws these two bumbling scholars into the middle of an international crisis that may spell death for them — and war for their nations. Witty mixed media illustrations show Brangwain’s furtive missives back to the elf kingdom, while Werfel’s determinedly unbiased narrative tells an entirely different story. A hilarious and biting social commentary that could only come from the likes of National Book Award winner M. T. Anderson and Newbery Honoree Eugene Yelchin, this tale is rife with thrilling action and visual humor……and a comic disparity that suggests the ultimate victor in a war is perhaps not who won the battles, but who gets to write the history.
