From the author who's inspired millions worldwide with books like Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven comes his most imaginative novel yet, The Time Keeper--a compelling fable about the first man on earth to count the hours.The man who became Father Time.In Mitch Albom's newest work of fiction, the inventor of the world's first clock is punished for trying to measure God's greatest gift. He is banished to a cave for centuries and forced to listen to the voices of all who come after him seeking more days, more years. Eventually, with his soul nearly broken, Father Time is granted his freedom, along with a magical hourglass and a mission: a chance to redeem himself by teaching two earthly people the true meaning of time.He returns to our world--now dominated by the hour-counting he so innocently began--and commences a journey with two unlikely partners: one a teenage girl who is about to give up on life, the other a wealthy old businessman who wants to live forever. To save himself, he must save them both. And stop the world to do so.Told in Albom's signature spare, evocative prose, this remarkably original tale will inspire readers everywhere to reconsider their own notions of time, how they spend it and how precious it truly is. 他被人們尊稱為“時間之父”，因為他發(fā)明了第一臺時鐘；他像普羅米修斯那樣受到上帝的嚴厲懲罰，因為他居然敢于度量時間，那是上帝贈與人類的最好的禮物。他被上帝囚禁在一個深不見底的洞穴里，年復(fù)一年地聆聽那些萬劫不復(fù)、千篇一律的言辭，那是來自地球人的切切哀告，他們對時間孜孜以求、需索無度，他們想倒撥時鐘，讓時間為他們停駐。就在“時間之父”快要被這些哀告折磨得精神崩潰之時，他得到了上帝的赦免，并領(lǐng)受了一項使命：攜帶著魔法沙漏到地球上啟迪眾生，昭示“時間”真正的意義。同時，上帝還給他指派了兩個伙伴，一個是因為失戀想自尋短見的少女，一個是希望仰賴現(xiàn)代科技得以長生不老的富翁——“時間之父”必須先拯救他們倆，才能最終為自己救贖。
