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.
Peter Hessler is a staff writer at The New Yorker, where he served as the Beijing correspondent from 2000 to 2007, and is also a contributing writer for National Geographic. He is the author of River Town, which won the Kiriyama Prize; Oracle Bones, which was a finalist for the National Book Award; and, most recently, Country Driving. He won the 2008 National Magazine Award for excellence in reporting, and he was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2011. He lives in Cairo.
纪实系列的第五本。看这本书的时间拖得太长了,有点懈怠。整体印象是细致,诚恳,幽默和讽刺!身在局中久了,难免一叶障目。局外人才能比较客观地评价和质疑。而我们自己也需要正视和珍惜身边的美!
评分Damn it's been around 20 years since the first edition came out...Even a Chinese like me found the mindsets of people at that time bizarre to some extent. What massive changes have taken place all over the nation... Yet some problems, or say the national ethos, remain unchanged, such as the pragmatism, the sole focus of life on earning money, etc.
评分比起《寻路中国》, 我更喜欢《江城》. 无论如何, 《江城》是何伟的亲身经历和感受, 一个外国人如何适应接受一个陌生的环境. 《寻路中国》的何伟也许更"中国通", 太客观的描写制造了距离, 而描述的生活在我这个中国人看来又很平常.
评分已经是上个世纪的过去了

读《江城》的时候,想起两组摄影,骆丹的318国道系列和严明的大国志。在初初看这两组摄影时,会有轻微不适,好像自身是局外人,他们镜头里的中国不再是我熟知的那个国度,更像是异次元空间,荒诞,充斥着各种象征和反讽,如果硬要用一个标准性的词来定性,应该是魔幻现实主义。...
评分彼得•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...
评分本文写于2014年9月,《奇石》在中国发售时,何伟曾受译文出版社之邀来到中国。 1 我有个才华横溢的同事,两年前,他在报社的业务探讨营(现在这种活动已经消失在历史的长河中了)上推荐了一本书,叫作《江城》。他说:“任何有志于从事特稿写作的记者,都应该去看看这本书。” ...
评分一、 在翻开这本书之前,我对它的内容一点概念也没有,在我的想象里,它大概是本游记,也可能是一个关于中国问题的文化层面的评论集。我完全没想到,它其实只是作者在涪陵的两年教书生涯的生活记录而已。 这多少让我有点失望。并不是这种形式有什么问题,只是它实在是太「容...
评分昨晚在一个狠文艺的书店里遇见了何伟的《江城》,说实话我没想到这本书居然获准在大陆出版。而让我惭愧万分的是,当我买回家读完这本书的时候才发现这是它自2012年2月出版以来的第四次加印,我买的是第7万册到第10万册中的一本---如果再刷半年微博,估计我连第五版都会错过了。...
