| INKc's Original Cover Illustration / 硬客原創封面插畫 |
繼上次畫了「妖怪公寓」的封面後，硬客開始對封面設計產生了興趣。既然要畫，當然還是挑選自己讀過並且有感覺的書囉。
Since last time where I have designed my original cover for "Youkai Apartment", I have became very interested in making more cover designs. I prefer making illustration for books that I have read and came to like so this is exactly what I have chosen to do.

於是硬客今天要再為大家介紹一本書：「被偷走的人生」。這本書描寫的是作者潔西・杜加於11歲時被歹徒綁架監禁，這19年以來的心路歷程。經過了漫長的歲月，被迫過著隱姓埋名，不見天日的生活。最後惡人終於受到制裁，重獲自由的那瞬間真的很令人覺得為之鼓舞。
Today I am going to introduce a book titled: "A Stolen Life: a memoir" written by Jaycee Dugard. This book is about the real life story that the author had been through since she was kidnapped at age 11 and stayed in captive for 19 years. In these dark years, she was not allowed to speak of her real name and was force to stay in the kidnapper's house at all time. I personally feel that the part when the criminal was punished by law and she regained her freedom was especially touching.

畫面左上角象徵自由的蝴蝶和蜘蛛網採用了隱喻的手法。蝴蝶象徵了自由和希望，靈感來自一枚對潔西意義深刻的戒指。背面右下角的松果對作者來說同樣為希望的象徵，是她19年前被綁架時最後碰觸到的外界事物。
I have used metaphor for the butterfly and spiderweb. The butterfly symblizes hope and freedom, this idea came from an important ring that Jaycee Dugard wears. The pinecone in the back cover also means "freedom" for the author, for it was the last thing she touches when she was kidnapped 19 years ago.

我想，這本書就是要告訴大家：「無論生活給你什麼樣的考驗，只要心裡懷有希望，總有一天能過播雲見日的。」重獲自由的潔西・杜加現育有兩名子女。讓我們為她往後的美麗人生由衷的祝福吧！
To
sum up my thoughts after reading this book: "No matter what kind of
trouble the life throws at us, as long as we have hope in our heart, the
sun will shine." Jaycee Dugard now lives with her two kids. Let us give
the best wishes to her for a happy ever after!
