Biography
While Elizabeth Gilbert's roots are in journalism -- she's a Pushcart Prize-winning and National Magazine Award-nominated writer -- it's her books that have granted her even more attention.
Gilbert departed from reporting in 1997, with the publication of her first collection of short fiction, Pilgrims. A finalist for the 1998 PEN/Hemingway Award, Pilgrims was also selected as a New York Times Notable Book, was listed as one of the "Most Intriguing Books of 1997" by Glamour magazine, and went on to win best first fiction awards from The Paris Review, The Southern Review, and Ploughshares.
Since then, Gilbert has successfully alternated between fiction and nonfiction -- a high-wire act that has paid off in a string of critically acclaimed bestsellers that includes her first full-length novel, Stern Men (2000); The Last American Man (2002), a National Book Award for Nonfiction; and Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India, and Indonesia (2006), a celebrated spiritual memoir that landed on several year-end Best Books lists.

年纪大到一定程度,就会对人力产生极端无助的感觉。事实上作为个人命运,这完全不是主观、客观、先天际遇或个人努力能够达成的顺理成章,也不是有付出就一定有收获。您在这边厢“鞠躬敬瘁死而后已”,人家那边厢已经“谈笑间樯橹灰飞烟灭”,到最后怎么不可能产生对命运的敬畏...

评分 评分当内心真的被触动,每个人都会有强烈的反应,对我来说是一种全身发麻,有一簇颤抖遍布于皮肤下。在听到斯美塔那的《伏尔塔瓦河》的主题乐曲时,在听到拉二的高潮部分时,在读到这本书最后的Attraversiamo的时候,明显感觉到从心底直涌上眼眶的那股想要流泪的冲动。 去年十月看...

A celebrated writers irresistible, candid, and eloquent account of her pursuit of worldly pleasure, spiritual devotion, and what she really wanted out of life
Around the time Elizabeth Gilbert turned thirty, she went through an early-onslaught midlife crisis. She had everything an educated, ambitious American woman was supposed to wanta husband, a house, a successful career. But instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed with panic, grief, and confusion. She went through a divorce, a crushing depression, another failed love, and the eradication of everything she ever thought she was supposed to be.
To recover from all this, Gilbert took a radical step. In order to give herself the time and space to find out who she really was and what she really wanted, she got rid of her belongings, quit her job, and undertook a yearlong journey around the worldall alone. Eat, Pray, Love is the absorbing chronicle of that year. Her aim was to visit three places where she could examine one aspect of her own nature set against the backdrop of a culture that has traditionally done that one thing very well. In Rome, she studied the art of pleasure, learning to speak Italian and gaining the twenty-three happiest pounds of her life. India was for the art of devotion, and with the help of a native guru and a surprisingly wise cowboy from Texas, she embarked on four uninterrupted months of spiritual exploration. In Bali, she studied the art of balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence. She became the pupil of an elderly medicine man and also fell in love the best wayunexpectedly.
An intensely articulate and moving memoir of self-discovery, Eat, Pray, Love is about what can happen when you claim responsibility for your own contentment and stop trying to live in imitation of societys ideals. It is certain to touch anyone who has ever woken up to the unrelenting need for change.

评分受不了了作女太作了。
评分实话说中间有些絮絮叨叨令人无法忍受。我当时在想为什么要继续这个女人的故事,不过也许她让我看到她勇敢的一面吧。ps:对她某些自我描写的语调实在无法忍受。
评分一本让我不舍得很快读完的书,看的是英文原版,竟然有这么一个人能如此精准地表达出我所经历过的类似情感。人的情感真的是universal的。书的结局是完美的,是不是所有睿智的女人,都要经历痛、修炼、才能收获真正的平衡、平静和爱?
