要守護一個文明，首先要做的竟然是盜走它？ 來自遙遠國度的傳奇，一座傳頌百年的鍍金城市 賭上《衛報》記者職涯寫就的巨作，曲折離奇的伊斯蘭手抄本竊盜案！ 廷巴克圖是傳說的發源之地，自古到今，這個城市自身即是傳奇。 在歐洲探險家尚未涉足非洲大陸的漫長年歲中，廷巴克圖是口耳相傳的桃源鄉，相傳那裡的房舍牆壁鍍了金，居民以小塊純金作貨幣，且他們的帝王坐擁金山，能毫無顧忌的隨意揮霍黃金。這個西非城市的歷史面貌始終籠罩在訛傳與誇大的描述之中，面目模糊，但它的確掌握了一個文明的核心。 廷巴克圖之所以被傳說打磨、閃著金光，原因不在物質，而在文化。歷經紛亂而漫長，充滿佔領與衝突的時光，這個古城裡埋藏著巨大瑰寶，是一頁又一頁十五、十六世紀的書寫史料，一疊又一疊令伊斯蘭研究者興奮顫抖的手抄本，數量之多，據說只要稍加鑽研，便足以全面翻轉現行非洲歷史敘事。 2012年，北非基地組織攻陷廷巴克圖。隔年，市長宣布城中所有古老史料盡毀，但這卻是這座城市傳說又興的起點。一群圖書館員竟冒著烽火搶救了大量手抄本！然而就在眾人歡欣慶賀之時，作者查理‧英格利許深入挖掘真相，赫然發現這次國際矚目的搶救文明行動，竟可能是場聯合當地知名藏書家，組織精良的騙局。 世上有兩個廷巴克圖，一個真實存在於尼日河畔，一個則完全虛幻，坐落於你我心靈之中。當心靈的力量與渴望被激情煽動，真實與虛偽便能輕易變造真相，而一個文明的份量，也許就立基在人們是否相信它的存在上。 當裝著文明質量的木箱始終緊閉，擁有鑰匙的所有人不願開誠布公時，我們能做的僅有觀看，並選擇是否要相信這則鍍金的傳說。 ※...
