丹尼尔·梅森,美国新生代畅销书作家。1976年出生于南加利福尼亚,1998年以第一名的成绩从哈佛大学毕业,此后前往泰国、缅甸交界处,从事医务活动。长期的热带丛林生活,使他的文字既具异域风情的神秘旖旎,又具文明冲突的沧桑沉重。2002年,处女作《调琴师》出版,立刻震惊全球。2007年,新作《遥远的国度》一举获得英国最古老文学奖布莱克文学纪念奖。
On a misty London afternoon in 1886, piano tuner Edgar Drake receives a strange request from the War Office: he must leave his wife, and his quiet life in London, to travel to the jungles of Burma to tune a rare Erhard grand piano. The piano belongs to Surgeon-Major Anthony Carroll, an enigmatic British officer, whose success at making peace in the war-torn Shan States is legendary, but whose unorthodox methods have begun to attract suspicion. So begins the journey of the soft-spoken Edgar across Europe, the Red Sea, India, Burma, and at last into the remote highlands of the Shan States. En route he is entranced by the Doctor's letters and by the shifting cast of tale-spinners, soldiers and thieves who cross his path. As his captivation grows, however, so do his questions: about the Doctor's true motives, about an enchanting and elusive woman who travels with him into the jungle, about why he came. And, ultimately, whether he will ever be able to return home unchanged to the woman who awaits him there ...Sensuous and lyrical, rich with passion and adventure, "The Piano Tuner" is an unforgettable and haunting novel.

评分无处不在的香料,静好的木瓜树,金光闪闪的庙宇,脱了靴子后湿润的地板带来的清凉,涂着厚厚的特纳卡的优雅女子,史诗般的约克特皮威,当然,还有那架独自漂流在雨夜的缅甸丛林里的埃拉尔钢琴,雨点击打着桃花心木,湍流中的琴声不成曲调,就像那些用竹片奏出的神秘掸族...
