When Peter Hessler went to China in the late 1990s, he expected to spend a couple of peaceful years teaching English in the town of Fuling on the Yangtze River. But what he experienced - the natural beauty, cultural tension, and complex process of understanding that takes place when one is thrust into a radically different society - surpassed anything he could have imagined. Hessler observes firsthand how major events such as the death of Deng Xiaoping, the return of Hong Kong to the mainland, and the controversial consturction of the Three Gorges Dam have affected even the people of a remote town like Fuling.
Poignant, thoughtful and utterly compelling, River Town is an unforgettable portrait of a place caught mid-river in time, much like China itself - a country seeking to understand both what it was and what it will one day become.
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“奇里雅玛环太平洋图书奖”,《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”。

评分I really enjoy the whole book despicting the Chinese people for i could find myself and people around me in the book. Something about ourselves could only be explicitly sensed by foreigners, some fresh ideas could turn out after reading this book. I hope one day i could be the person to travel around the world, find something deep in the life.

前日工作不顺。回到公寓,想起窗台边的无线路由器在两周前的大雨里泡坏了,网上不成,只好翻开何伟的《江城》。这书半年前从图书馆借来,零零碎碎看了一半。虽说好看,可也没吸引我到手不释卷的地步。却没想到我这次拿起来,竟一口气读了百来页。放下书,神清气爽,先前的纠结...
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...
评分镜中的斯芬克斯 ——彼得·海斯勒和他的“中国三部曲” 认字癖这件事,恐怕任何一种语言的初学者都一样。1996年,27岁的美国人彼得·海斯勒(Peter Hessler,中文名何伟)初来中国,在当时还隶属四川的涪陵师专“支教”。每天早上,他跑步经过各种刷满汉字的墙壁时,都试...
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...
评分他在具有虔诚信仰的家庭中长大,他具有虔诚的信仰。他在大学里学文学,他痛恨文学被可怕的教育体制和文学评论撕裂和肢解,失去了原来的优美。 他的梦想,是成为一个作家,但是在此之前,他想看看遥远的国度,也想为了他的信仰做一些工作。于是他选择作为一个志愿者,登上了去...
