具体描述

Tracy Kidder is a winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the author of the bestsellers The Soul of a New Machine , House , Among Schoolchildren , and Home Town . He has been described by the Baltimore Sun as the “master of the non-fiction narrative.” This powerful and inspiring new book shows how one person can make a difference, as Kidder tells the true story of a gifted man who is in love with the world and has set out to do all he can to cure it.

At the center of Mountains Beyond Mountains stands Paul Farmer. Doctor, Harvard professor, renowned infectious-disease specialist, anthropologist, the recipient of a MacArthur “genius” grant, world-class Robin Hood, Farmer was brought up in a bus and on a boat, and in medical school found his life’s calling: to diagnose and cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of modern medicine to those who need them most. This magnificent book shows how radical change can be fostered in situations that seem insurmountable, and it also shows how a meaningful life can be created, as Farmer—brilliant, charismatic, charming, both a leader in international health and a doctor who finds time to make house calls in Boston and the mountains of Haiti—blasts through convention to get results.

Mountains Beyond Mountains takes us from Harvard to Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia as Farmer changes minds and practices through his dedication to the philosophy that "the only real nation is humanity" - a philosophy that is embodied in the small public charity he founded, Partners In Health. He enlists the help of the Gates Foundation, George Soros, the U.N.’s World Health Organization, and others in his quest to cure the world. At the heart of this book is the example of a life based on hope, and on an understanding of the truth of the Haitian proverb “Beyond mountains there are mountains”: as you solve one problem, another problem presents itself, and so you go on and try to solve that one too.

“ Mountains Beyond Mountains unfolds with the force of a gathering revelation,” says Annie Dillard, and Jonathan Harr says, “[Farmer] wants to change the world. Certainly this luminous and powerful book will change the way you see it.”

From the Hardcover edition.

作者简介

Tracy Kidder is an American author and Vietnam War veteran. Kidder may be best known, especially within the computing community, for his Pulitzer Prize-winning The Soul of a New Machine, an account of the development of Data General's Eclipse/MV minicomputer. The book typifies his distinctive style of research. He began following the project at its inception and, in addition to interviews, spent considerable time observing the engineers at work and outside of it. Using this perspective he was able to produce a more textured portrait of the development process than a purely retrospective study might.

Kidder followed up with House, in which he chronicles the design and construction of the award-winning Souweine House in Amherst, Massachusetts. House reads like a novel, but it is based on many hours of research with the architect, builders, clients, in-laws, and other interested parties.

In 2003, Kidder also published Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, A Man Who Would Cure The World after a chance encounter with Paul Farmer. The book was held to wide critical acclaim and became a New York Times bestseller. The actor Edward Norton has claimed it was one of the books which has had a profound influence on him.

法默医生是个圣人。 我常常会将自己带入他的位置,质问自己:我会像他那样做吗?很遗憾,很多的时候我无法做到。我无法像他那样将穷人、病人的生命置于天,将自身的利益置于地。 我可能选择金墉的路,希望从宏观的角度解决公共卫生问题,而非像法默医生一样毫无怨言地在前线战...

你要做的,唯有不断前行,步履不停。 翻开序言,有一句话我印象非常深刻:“大家都有活着的目标,都有超越小我的追求,我们的人生就会更加丰富。”看到这句话的时候我有一瞬间的迷茫,这么多年,我的目标似乎就是活着,追求的是更好地活着,似乎我并没有更远大的目标,所以,我...

“他真他妈是个圣人” (“That guy’s a fuckin’ saint.”) 读完,没找到一个对于Farmer更简短,准确的评价。这个“他妈的”圣人每年在波士顿和海地之间穿梭,同时治愈了成千上万的患者。这世上或有医生无数,但有几个能为人如Farmer一般,或许,成为圣人的标准更为严格,...

越过一山,又是一山。 ——海地谚语 “为最穷的那群人服务。”当作者特雷西·基德尔用这样一句话,刻画出一个优秀而有趣的灵魂时,我已经深深被这个优秀有趣的灵魂所吸引。 二十三岁时,保罗·法默医生就找到了他的人生目标:将现代医学带给最需要的人。 在医学院就读期间,法...
