彼得•海斯勒(中文名何伟,1969-)很早就有成为作家的梦想。他先在普林斯顿大学修文学,1992年获得罗德奖学金后赴英国牛津大学深造。1996年他作为“和平队”( The Peace Corps)队员到中国涪陵支教。这次支教还有两个更实际的目的:第一是体验生活,让写作才华在一个陌生...
评分我本不想读任何写中国的书,如同不想读政治和哲学。对于世上的苦难,我仅觉得自己无奈无力;对于世上的精彩,也毫无吸引并不想参和;而对世道的愤怒和评判,更让人增加了保持沉默的力量。你一开口便落入与他们一样的偏见和市恩,人总是对别人的事表现的比自己的清楚。 无奈抱...
评分尽管一开始就知道这本书不是死板的社会学研究或自以为是的个人游记,但还是没想到会这么好,好到在我整个看的过程中,心始终是沉着的。心沉不沉,几乎成了我判别东西好坏的唯一标准了。比如随便刷一下微信朋友圈,你都能找到一千篇胡扯中国社会的文章,一般都无需看内容,标题...
评分一本《寻路中国》让何伟在中国知识圈炙手可热,几乎登上了每一家我所见到的媒体。这本《River Town》则记录了第一次来中国时的青涩感观。《寻路中国》之所以一石激起千层浪,是因为他给了我国人一种旁观者的视角来反躬自省,书中令我们眼前一亮、心头一颤的论断遍地皆是,仿佛...

A New York Times Notable Book
Winner of the Kiriyama Book Prize
In the heart of China's Sichuan province, amid the terraced hills of the Yangtze River valley, lies the remote town of Fuling. Like many other small cities in this ever-evolving country, Fuling is heading down a new path of change and growth, which came into remarkably sharp focus when Peter Hessler arrived as a Peace Corps volunteer, marking the first time in more than half a century that the city had an American resident. Hessler taught English and American literature at the local college, but it was his students who taught him about the complex processes of understanding that take place when one is immersed in a radically different society.
Poignant, thoughtful, funny, and enormously compelling, River Town is an unforgettable portrait of a city that is seeking to understand both what it was and what it someday will be.
过了将近10个月,终于断断续续地把这本书看完了。描写很细腻。笔触很真诚。
评分比寻路中国更稚嫩,更文青气,更draft,更率性,揉进了更大段的主观感受。格式迥异的各章节,零落记录在涪陵的街头、乡村、校园里的见闻和经历。以个体故事,见时代背景。这是27岁的Howei,在1997年的涪陵。涪陵1997和中国2020相比,太多事情有了变化(当然很多事情仍一成不变,甚至更糟了),以至于我而言,显得有些遥远。反倒是1997年的何伟,跨越23年,和此刻作为读者的我年纪相仿,阅读过程中,由此不断产生亲近感和代入感。读的英文原版,比中文体验要更好,毕竟在语言上,就天然地离Howei1997更近了。
评分已经是上个世纪的过去了
