A provocative new novel from the bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club and The Bonesetter's Daughter .
On an ill-fated art expedition into the southern Shan state of Burma, eleven Americans leave their Floating Island Resort for a Christmas-morning tour-and disappear. Through twists of fate, curses, and just plain human error, they find themselves deep in the jungle, where they encounter a tribe awaiting the return of the leader and the mythical book of wisdom that will protect them from the ravages and destruction of the Myanmar military regime.
Saving Fish from Drowning seduces the reader with a fagade of Buddhist illusions, magician's tricks, and light comedy, even as the absurd and picaresque spiral into a gripping morality tale about the consequences of intentions-both good and bad-and about the shared responsibility that individuals must accept for the actions of others.
A pious man explained to his followers: "It is evil to take lives and noble to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where they flop and twirl. 'Don't be scared,' I tell those fishes. 'I am saving you from drowning.' Soon enough, the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I am always too late. The fishes expire. And because it is evil to waste anything, I take those dead fishes to market and I sell them for a good price. With the money I receive, I buy more nets so I can save more fishes."

讀後感
不知道为什么那么多对这本书的贬低之词。难道我的欣赏水平有问题？或许吧。不过我是很喜欢这本书。无论是封面。还是内容。在大学图书馆读过一遍。又自己买书来重新读。很少喜欢看这种类似游记的书。但它的确吸引了我。不同的风俗。不同的文化。这或许就是旅行的意义。还有旅途...
評分我不知道蔡先生如何能沾沾自喜的说他对其中情节做了改变以适应中国读者的口味,他有这个权利么? 所幸是花半价所得,不然肯定悔青肠子!
評分猜想应该是翻译的缘故，书中硬伤不少。而且作者的语言风格和营造的气氛削弱了很多。谭恩美还是比较适合写中国背景的华裔母女之间的故事，这种灵异小说不太吸引人。
評分这本书是在旧书店里买回来,一如其它地先把它放在书架上沉淀一下.今天第一天拿起来阅读,就看了一半.作者的方式显然很对我的胃口,发现她的话很朴实,不卖弄.感觉先赢了一步,这一步很重要,可以决定书能不能被继续下去.很多时候那些不能读下去的书就在这时被决定了. 于是决定明天继...
評分潭恩美是美国著名的作家之一。在她早先的每一本小说中，她用作品中所散发的神秘力量成功的引诱了读者。尤其在《喜福会》和《接骨师之女》中，她所展示的那种人际关系的复杂和痛苦也迷惑着我们，特别是母女关系。历史上不清晰的部分也不知不觉的变成了作者本身的经历，她让我们...
