Back in America after twenty years in Britain, Bill Bryson decided to reacquaint himself with his native country by walking the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail, which stretches from Georgia to Maine. The AT offers an astonishing landscape of silent forests and sparkling lakes--and to a writer with the comic genius of Bill Bryson, it also provides endless opportunities to witness the majestic silliness of his fellow human beings. For a start there's the gloriously out-of-shape Stephen Katz, a buddy from Iowa along for the walk. Despite Katz's overwhelming desire to find cozy restaurants, he and Bryson eventually settle into their stride, and while on the trail they meet a bizarre assortment of hilarious characters. But A Walk in the Woods is more than just a laugh-out-loud hike. Bryson's acute eye is a wise witness to this beautiful but fragile trail, and as he tells its fascinating history, he makes a moving plea for the conservation of America's last great wilderness. An adventure, a comedy, and a celebration, A Walk in the Woods is destined to become a modern classic of travel literature.
《偏跟山过不去》,这本书是一年前匆匆读过的。迟至近日,重新品味,便有了更浓厚的味道。 记得初读时,有点不习惯它除了一张地图之外,没有任何配图的形式。从编辑的职业病出发,最先忧虑的是,现在哪里还有出版旅行图书不花哨不点缀不文艺的,这本书算是个例外了。也许因...
评分Just as Sunday Times said “This is a seriously funny book.” It can’t be more true. “A walk in the woods” tells a true story about how Bill Bryson and his out-of-shape fellow Stephen Katz covered the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail, which stretches from G...
评分 评分真正的旅行是修行 这是在图书馆随手翻到的书,不是书名有趣,而是封面上对于阿巴拉契亚小道的介绍,无端的使我想起电影《朝圣之路》(那条路在西班牙的圣地亚哥,一个父亲为了完成儿子的徒步朝圣的愿望,找回自我和亲情的故事),想来一定有比电影更真实的体验,加上评论说,作...
评分户外旅行的佳作,处处透着睿智、幽默、犀利以及惊人的博学,从阿巴拉契亚小道延伸开去,堪称美国近代自然史的小百科。可惜翻译实在不敢恭维,语句近乎直译,生硬拗口,有些句子又长又别扭让人差点一口气提不上来,还有错别字,糟蹋了一本好书。接力出版社,望再接再厉。
Hiking the Appalachian Trail is one of my goals of life.
评分作者好可爱
评分电影挺好看的,刚好在OCPL后面的二手书店淘到这本书,一美刀就买下来了。感觉美国的二手书旧书市场真是良心。
评分其实是旅游指南,但是当阐述得这么生动又有俏皮角色的加入,就很难care那些个数据。 -- 2015-3-26
