Nothing BSW717

US$15.95

Otis has an antique shop crammed to the gills with stuff. So he's delighted when someone comes in and buys it all. Next day, Suzie Gump arrives, the shop is empty, full of nothing, and Suzy loves it-and takes it all. Suzie has set a trend, and soon everybody is craving nothing-the stores are full of it. It's only when there's not even a towel for drying off after a bath that Suzie realizes she may have gone a bit too far. Funny and silly, this is another solid entry by Agee.

当古董店老板奥迪斯卖掉最后一件东西的时候,城里最富有的女士苏西太太走了进来,她问:“你这儿有什么好东西卖?”“嗯,什么都没有。”奥迪斯回答。苏西太太有一大堆东西,但从来没有“什么都没有”,所以她花三百块买下了“什么都没有”。很快,大家都听说了苏西太太的事迹。商人们为了赚她的钱,纷纷卖起了“什么都没有”。不久,人们也从嘲笑变成疯狂抢购,而且为了放下更多“什么都没有”,大家把家里所有东西都清理掉了。可热闹总有平息的一天,苏西太太开始觉得生活不便,并且真的什么都没有,于是她又去把所有丢掉的东西买了回来。这时,城里的其他人呢?他们又该怎么办?
作者用幽默诙谐的语调与读者探讨消费主义和从众心理。孩子读了会咯咯大笑,书中的哲思将潜移默化地影响他们的思维;成人大笑之后,会平静下来,透过寓言反思自己的人生。
