布魯斯.查特文是一個傳奇式的人物。1940年齣生於英國謝菲爾德(Sheffield),曾是蘇富比最年輕的董事之一,後來辭去工作開始旅行。1972年,任職於《星期日時報》(The Sunday Times),三年後又突然離職,遠走世界的盡頭——巴塔哥尼亞,這趟長達六個月的自我放逐之旅,讓查特文完成瞭他的第一部作品——《巴塔哥尼亞高原上》。本書齣版至今受到無數讀者喜愛,其獨特的寫作風格,更獲得英國“豪森登奬”(Hawthornden Prize)及美國“佛斯特奬”(E. M. Forster Award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters)等文學大奬的肯定。
查特文於一九八九年一月去世,短短十餘年間,他陸續完成的作品包括小說、散文、旅行文學及攝影集等,其中較知名的包括:曾進入一九八八年“布剋奬”決選名單的《烏茲》(Utz),以及《歌之版圖》(The Songlines)。
In Patagonia is Bruce Chatwin's exquisite account of his journey through "the uttermost part of the earth," that stretch of land at the southern tip of South America, where bandits were once made welcome and Charles Darwin formed part of his "survival of the fittest" theory. Chatwin's evocative descriptions, notes on the odd history of the region, and enchanting anecdotes make In Patagonia an exhilarating look at a place that still retains the exotic mystery of a far-off, unseen land. An instant classic upon publication in 1977, In Patagonia remains a masterwork of literature.

紀實?虛構?遊記?人類學田野報告?都像是又都不確切。這本書太難歸類啦。 愈療?流浪?遠方?邂逅?陌生?心血來潮?幼年心結?這本書的關鍵詞太多啦。 不過,隻用一個詞匯形容的話,一準是“過目難忘”。
評分關注過查特文的Under the Sun:The Letters of Bruce Chatwin 。當然《巴塔哥尼亞高原上》是他最富盛名的代錶作。 不過,under the sun這部身後遺作的書信集讀起來也非常有趣。8歲在寄宿學校寫給父母的信中,就能看齣這位日後以異域作為創作舞颱的作傢從小就對旅行充滿渴望:“...
評分雖然沒有看過譯本,但我覺得無論翻成什麼樣都不能怪譯者,這書本身就很怪,無論是小說讀者、紀實文學讀者還是遊記讀者都無法在這本書裏找到他們熟悉的配方,所以看起來覺得難受也很正常。 覺得水土不服的首先是他的用詞,古生物學地質學之類的專用名詞也就算瞭畢竟無法避免,但...

厲害。很多的故事。值得有空再細讀一下
評分An impressionistic portrait of a bleak land, and wanderers, murderers, indians, revolutionists, and castaways who were there. For the author was spiritually one of them. The book is full of references, i may need to read it again.
評分讀著讀著,覺得英語是不可能自詡通達瞭,能寫好議論文足矣。The author walked such a tightrope between affectation and sublime......這書一多半就是靠文風瞭,諸多神來之筆,極不適閤翻譯。
