书籍简介:

Full of unforgettable figures and an unrelenting spirit of adventure, Strange Stones is a far-ranging, thought-provoking collection of Peter Hessler’s best reportage—a dazzling display of the powerful storytelling, shrewd cultural insight, and warm sense of humor that are the trademarks of his work. Over the last decade, as a staff writer for The New Yorker and the author of three books, Peter Hessler has lived in Asia and the United States, writing as both native and knowledgeable outsider in these two very different regions. This unusual perspective distinguishes Strange Stones, which showcases Hessler’s unmatched range as a storyteller. “Wild Flavor” invites readers along on a taste test between two rat restaurants in South China. One story profiles Yao Ming, basketball star and China’s most beloved export, another David Spindler, an obsessive and passionate historian of the Great Wall. In “Dr. Don,” Hessler writes movingly about a small-town pharmacist and his relationship with the people he serves. While Hessler’s subjects and locations vary, subtle but deeply important thematic links bind these pieces—the strength of local traditions, the surprising overlap between apparently opposing cultures, and the powerful lessons drawn from individuals who straddle different worlds.

作者简介:

彼得•海斯勒(Peter Hessler),中文名何伟,曾任《纽约客》驻北京记者,以及《国家地理》杂志等媒体的撰稿人。

他成长于美国密苏里州的哥伦比亚市,在普林斯顿主修英文和写作,并取得牛津大学英语文学硕士学位。海斯勒曾自助旅游欧洲三十国,毕业后更从布拉格出发,由水陆两路横越俄国、中国到泰国,跑完半个地球,也由此开启了他的旅游文学写作之路。

海斯勒散见于各大杂志的旅游文学作品,数度获得美国最佳旅游写作奖。他的中国纪实三部曲中,《江城》一经推出即获得“Kiriyama环太平洋图书奖”,《甲骨文》则荣获《时代周刊》年度最佳亚洲图书等殊荣。海斯勒本人亦被《华尔街日报》赞为“关注现代中国的最具思想性的西方作家之一”。

书友短评:

@ Amelia 大部分都是以前发表的== @ Hao 有些内容与之前的作品重复,有两三篇不怎么感兴趣。 @ 雨雪霏霏 何伟的另一本书,译了三分之一…. @ 夕岸 当部分故事的重心不在中国,阅读兴趣就减了一半。另外很多笑话很冷… @ 林边 书写精彩,不过作为中国人阅读时常感到难堪 @ stupidcoffee 2021 #1 || 比较散的文章集合,其中的一些已经在三部曲中出现过;相较于写美国本土的部分,还是关于中国的文章更有意思,观察更为独到;when you grow up和the home team全篇最佳。 @ Ann 这本书更感受到何伟的人文情怀,他真诚地去接受去理解被采访者,所以他们才愿意open up吧。而且感觉何伟胆子真大啊,各种地方各种人都不怕。不过这本书比较碎,读了很久才读完。 @ Irisicing 好些年前读的了,开篇就描述广东餐馆吃竹鼠,印象深刻。(广东人什么都吃,我也只是耳闻,因为从未见过。要是一盘竹鼠出现在我面前,我会晕过去吧) @ Dakota Via Audible. 有些部分是炒冷饭了扣一星。何伟的非虚构叙述的确很有魅力,尤其适合以播客呈现 @ 不是凯西 擦 原来我初一就读过何伟
