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”。
From the bestselling author of Oracle Bones and River Town comes the final book in his award-winning trilogy, on the human side of the economic revolution in China. In the summer of 2001, Peter Hessler, the longtime Beijing correspondent for The New Yorker , acquired his Chinese driver's license. For the next seven years, he traveled the country, tracking how the automobile and improved roads were transforming China. Hessler writes movingly of the average people—farmers, migrant workers, entrepreneurs—who have reshaped the nation during one of the most critical periods in its modern history. Country Driving begins with Hessler's 7,000-mile trip across northern China, following the Great Wall, from the East China Sea to the Tibetan plateau. He investigates a historically important rural region being abandoned, as young people migrate to jobs in the southeast. Next Hessler spends six years in Sancha, a small farming village in the mountains north of Beijing, which changes dramatically after the local road is paved and the capital's auto boom brings new tourism. Finally, he turns his attention to urban China, researching development over a period of more than two years in Lishui, a small southeastern city where officials hope that a new government-built expressway will transform a farm region into a major industrial center. Peter Hessler, whom The Wall Street Journal calls "one of the Western world's most thoughtful writers on modern China," deftly illuminates the vast, shifting landscape of a traditionally rural nation that, having once built walls against foreigners, is now building roads and factory towns that look to the outside world.
原文地址:http://dongxi.net/b00gl 上世纪的美国游记作家们尤喜描写一些错综复杂的异国驾驶习俗和令人啼笑皆非的驾驶轶事。要是有些别出心裁的出版社对这些游记精挑细选一番,然后结集出版,定是一本催吐佳作,书名就叫做《晕——环球旅行者的独白》,岂不妙哉! Peter Hessl...
评分我用视觉和嗅觉来读这本书。翻开第一页,嘿,我立即愉快地猜到作者何伟以往准给《美国国家地理》写过稿子,后来发现果然如此。这种文体对我再亲切不过了,我马上嗅到了特有的NG味儿,同时幻觉着翻开了那本明黄色框子的16页对开杂志。那些稿子带着露珠、烟尘,或者铺展着道路,...
评分这本由纽约客驻京记者描述当代中国的非虚构文学作品,总共分成三个部分,分别是城墙、村庄,还有工厂。 我个人比较中意的是书的第二部分——村庄,因为比起城墙与工厂走马观花式的旅行笔记,村庄这部分更多的是在讲述与人的相处,而非仅仅透过建筑设施的更迭、环境的变迁,与沿...
评分一 美国人彼得•海斯勒(Peter Hessler)在中国呆了五年之后,申请了驾照,中国那么多公路,已经建好的,正在建着的,将要建的,空着也是空着。那是2001年夏,怀揣一本满是无名小路、没有比例尺的《中国汽车司机地图册》,开着一辆从“首都汽车”租来的切诺基,后备箱里赛满...
评分《寻路中国》的书名与副标题(“从乡村到工厂的自驾之旅”)十分迷惑人,我将之当作旅游散文买下来,沏好咖啡,将阳光迎进屋内,打算惬意地欣赏一番,然而只翻两页,看到作者何伟把机动车驾驶员理论考试题抄出来的时候,我兴奋而尴尬地笑了,我自己考驾照时也背过、考过。...
读完后只觉得很温暖, 中国被忽略的一代普通人的故事.
评分前两天还和小兔聊到New Yorker的作者写作水平都很高,相比之下,这本读起来非常顺,少了几分纽约客常见的强烈(有见地)主观色彩,简直是judgmental的绝对反面,那种客观和包容让人敬佩,不煽风点火言过其实。倒怀疑美国人读起来没我们痛快,那么多拼音,比如白酒、关系,到字限了

评分外国人眼中的中国,视角挺独特。生词不多,读起来很流畅。
评分不同的角度去看那些我们习以为常的中国特色…
