彼得•海斯勒(Peter Hessler),中文名何偉,曾任《紐約客》駐北京記者,以及《國傢地理》雜誌等媒體的撰稿人。
他成長於美國密蘇裏州的哥倫比亞市,在普林斯頓主修英文和寫作,並取得牛津大學英語文學碩士學位。海斯勒曾自助旅遊歐洲三十國,畢業後更從布拉格齣發,由水陸兩路橫越俄國、中國到泰國,跑完半個地球,也由此開啓瞭他的旅遊文學寫作之路。
海斯勒散見於各大雜誌的旅遊文學作品,數度獲得美國最佳旅遊寫作奬。他的中國紀實三部麯中,《江城》一經推齣即獲得“Kiriyama環太平洋圖書奬”,《甲骨文》則榮獲《時代周刊》年度最佳亞洲圖書等殊榮。海斯勒本人亦被《華爾街日報》贊為“關注現代中國的最具思想性的西方作傢之一”。
Full of unforgettable figures and an unrelenting spirit of adventure, Strange Stones is a far-ranging, thought-provoking collection of Peter Hessler’s best reportage—a dazzling display of the powerful storytelling, shrewd cultural insight, and warm sense of humor that are the trademarks of his work.
Over the last decade, as a staff writer for The New Yorker and the author of three books, Peter Hessler has lived in Asia and the United States, writing as both native and knowledgeable outsider in these two very different regions. This unusual perspective distinguishes Strange Stones, which showcases Hessler’s unmatched range as a storyteller. “Wild Flavor” invites readers along on a taste test between two rat restaurants in South China. One story profiles Yao Ming, basketball star and China’s most beloved export, another David Spindler, an obsessive and passionate historian of the Great Wall. In “Dr. Don,” Hessler writes movingly about a small-town pharmacist and his relationship with the people he serves.
While Hessler’s subjects and locations vary, subtle but deeply important thematic links bind these pieces—the strength of local traditions, the surprising overlap between apparently opposing cultures, and the powerful lessons drawn from individuals who straddle different worlds.

當我在看過《尋路中國》、《江城》和《甲骨文》,得知何偉已經離開中國前往埃及之後,我以為再也不會看到何偉齣版任何有關中國的書籍時,《奇石》悄無聲息的在今年齣版瞭。 說實話,我很期待這部作品,畢竟能像何偉這樣深刻理解中國的人不多,包括土生土長的中國人都往往捉摸...
評分侯思銘/文 迴到中國,彼得·海斯勒又成瞭何偉。此前一直在國內社交網絡上醞釀和發酵的對於何偉的狂熱一下子噴湧而齣,正如何偉筆下的主人公常常不知道為何他會對自己産生興趣,中國讀者的熱情同樣使何偉感到好奇與驚訝。事實上他每次來中國,這種驚訝都必定被刷新一次。今年3...
評分想說其實不是這本書,不過還是得先誇一下何偉。這位老師的觀察力足夠齣眾,很擅長把一些看似雜亂的東西塞到一起,再用一個若隱若現的主綫把這些碎片巧妙的聯係到一起,不時升華一下他記錄這些東西的所謂動機,不過都很剋製,沒有流於煽情。總之他寫的東西大多都算的上有趣。然...
評分《奇石》是何偉(彼得·海斯勒)為《紐約客》所寫報道的閤集,我偏愛《鬍同情緣》、《徒步長城》、《新城姑娘》、《四重奏》、《離鄉迴鄉》、《主隊》、《汽車城》、《中國巴比鬆》等篇。雖齣版在後,此書內容卻是他的“中國紀實三部麯”的母體。如果將中國比作冰山,這些文章...

Although I still envy his experiences, this book a bit scattered and there are quite a few old articles. I finished his latest book and I'm starting to get over him.
評分書寫精彩,不過作為中國人閱讀時常感到難堪
評分Although I still envy his experiences, this book a bit scattered and there are quite a few old articles. I finished his latest book and I'm starting to get over him.
評分有些內容與之前的作品重復,有兩三篇不怎麼感興趣。
評分看瞭一半,我覺得就前兩篇吃老鼠肉和菊兒鬍同寫的不錯,後麵沒啥意思,而且強烈感覺部分的篇目或是的的文章的部分片段在甲骨文裏麵齣現過
