The Khao San Road, Bangkok--first stop for the hordes of rootless young Westerners traveling in Southeast Asia. On Richard's first night there, in a low-budget guest house, a fellow traveler slashes his wrists, bequeathing to Richard a meticulously drawn map to "the Beach."
The Beach, as Richard has come to learn, is the subject of a legend among young travelers in Asia: a lagoon hidden from the sea, with white sand and coral gardens, freshwater falls surrounded by jungle, plants untouched for a thousand years. There, it is rumored, a carefully selected international few have settled in a communal Eden.
Haunted by the figure of Mr. Duck--the name by which the Thai police have identified the dead man--and his own obsession with Vietnam movies, Richard sets off with a young French couple to an island hidden away in an archipelago forbidden to tourists. They discover the Beach, and it is as beautiful and idyllic as it is reputed to be. Yet over time it becomes clear that Beach culture, as Richard calls it, has troubling, even deadly, undercurrents.
Spellbinding and hallucinogenic, The Beach is a look at a generation in their twenties, who, burdened with the legacy of the preceding generation and saturated by popular culture, long for an unruined landscape, but find it difficult to experience the world firsthand.

用戶評價
還是讀不瞭英文小說
评分2020年特殊的假期，待著無事可做，讀瞭這本書。詞匯量不足，看得雲裏霧裏，不過被開頭書中描繪的亞洲旅遊者的感覺、和一絲連綿不斷不斷的懸念吸引著讀下去瞭。 可是，感覺後麵的劇情有點崩，難道白人兄弟姐妹們幻想的世外桃源和人性衝突是這個樣子麼... 是不是有點膚淺啊，而且結尾有點莫名其妙。 好吧，作為工科生，以後還是讀科普作品吧。文學作品套路深，我還是理解不能。哦，對瞭，這就去找2000年小李子演的同名電影看看去。
评分在大麻種植園那骨節寫得太逗瞭吧！是個讓人著迷的小說，看瞭就會陷進去。就一個字：贊！
评分一起學拳的小朋友走的時候背包塞不下送給我這本。比電影好太多。九十年代的東南亞真是美好，白人傻逼也相對少。
评分A adventurous novel with a hasty ending, yet successful in depicting a wonderland in Thailand. Writer of 28 Days Later and Never Let Me Go.
