A provocative new novel from the bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club and The Bonesetter's Daughter .
On an ill-fated art expedition into the southern Shan state of Burma, eleven Americans leave their Floating Island Resort for a Christmas-morning tour-and disappear. Through twists of fate, curses, and just plain human error, they find themselves deep in the jungle, where they encounter a tribe awaiting the return of the leader and the mythical book of wisdom that will protect them from the ravages and destruction of the Myanmar military regime.
Saving Fish from Drowning seduces the reader with a fagade of Buddhist illusions, magician's tricks, and light comedy, even as the absurd and picaresque spiral into a gripping morality tale about the consequences of intentions-both good and bad-and about the shared responsibility that individuals must accept for the actions of others.
A pious man explained to his followers: "It is evil to take lives and noble to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where they flop and twirl. 'Don't be scared,' I tell those fishes. 'I am saving you from drowning.' Soon enough, the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I am always too late. The fishes expire. And because it is evil to waste anything, I take those dead fishes to market and I sell them for a good price. With the money I receive, I buy more nets so I can save more fishes."

讀後感
不知道為什麼那麼多對這本書的貶低之詞。難道我的欣賞水平有問題？或許吧。不過我是很喜歡這本書。無論是封麵。還是內容。在大學圖書館讀過一遍。又自己買書來重新讀。很少喜歡看這種類似遊記的書。但它的確吸引瞭我。不同的風俗。不同的文化。這或許就是旅行的意義。還有旅途...
評分看過相關評論之後纔知道原來貝塔斯曼已經在中國銷聲匿跡瞭，去年五月在武漢的光榖廣場大洋百貨傢樂福超市還見到實體店。不知道現在怎麼樣瞭。 書看瞭一半，擱在瞭書架上。 實在想不通，蔡駿怎麼就可以一個作傢的身份去改變另外一個作傢的作品。或許那個時候的他也算得上年輕...
評分齣乎意料，一幫ＳＢ翻的書。２１世紀還搞林琴南式翻譯，本身就夠操蛋的瞭，直接說粗製濫造得瞭，饒是如此還不見外，改原著，刪減情節，改變章節順序，真想問問：你們算乾嘛的？譯者是個懸疑小說作傢，沒文化，年輕氣盛，沒分寸感，我不怪丫，但是北京齣版社的編輯怎麼迴...
評分 評分書本拿在手裏，第一件事就是看齣版社。但我忽略瞭這次是譯寫而不是譯者。 熟悉的作傢照例是前言後記最後看的，不過當眼睛掃到譯寫的那位短短一行的資曆簡介時，就開始驚訝瞭。 那一行是：28歲 魔羯座 作傢協會成員。 除瞭星座，另外兩個詞語都可以抹煞我看這本譯作的興趣。 ...
