He leads us to countries swept by the monsoon, capturing the soul of these regions undergoing dramatic changes through the intertwining of history and reality.\nBy the Ganges River, amidst tearful pilgrims and black smoke rising from cremation pyres, he experiences the almost instinctive sense of life's continuation for Indians; in the Golden Triangle of northern Myanmar, he meets refined overseas Chinese descendants struggling to maintain the only Chinese school in the area; on the Thai-Cambodian border, he visits ancient temples surrounded by landmines, uncovering a hidden painful memory; at the Ijen volcano crater in Indonesia, sulphur workers making a living in hell extend a helping hand, and he realizes that human presence is the soul of Java.\nHe witnesses a sense of dignity that modernization has failed to erode, and also sees the global exchange of money and love; he witnesses the loss of civilization and the birth of suffering, and also comprehends the beliefs that sustain humanity. He encounters people and lives of all stripes, and with an insightful and calm brush, he writes about how in such a world, there are still such people, living such lives.\n·\nLiu Zichao broke my prejudice against travelogues. What he recorded was simple and vivid, but beyond that, what interested me more were his thoughts and ideas, because the author's own vision, thought, and even spirit determine the depth and meaning of a journey.\n—Li Jian, Musician\nLiu Zichao's travels are different from those of ordinary tourists. He has a true traveler's perspective, going deep into streets and alleys, interacting with people, inheriting a very excellent tradition of travel literature.\n—Luo Xin, Professor of History at Peking University\nAmong the burgeoning travel writing in the Chinese world, Zichao is a name that cannot be ignored. His curiosity, insight, hesitation, and habitual self-indulgence all exude a special charm.\n—Xu Zhiyuan, Writer, Founder of One Way Space\nWith writers like Liu Zichao, we accelerate our understanding of the world. He makes difficult arrivals time and again, delves deep into local culture and history, and then, through exquisite and apt writing, unveils the mysterious veil of the world, sparking our desire to understand it. After reading Zichao's books, I always hope I can follow his route, and always hope I can write such books myself.\n—Yu Minhong, Founder of New Oriental\nLiu Zichao's work has a concise prose style, as well as a unique sense of humor, curiosity, and adventurous spirit, making it a joy to read. Liu Zichao is a keen observer of human nature and a very talented writer.\n—Jon Lee Anderson, Senior Correspondent for The New Yorker\nWhile modern people are accustomed to the convenience of information on the internet, he insists on physically entering the scene and recreating the journey through literature. The human conditions he witnesses and writes about refresh our coordinates and perspectives for viewing today's world. And those unfamiliar place names on the fringes and in the cracks of the world also become connected to us due to the presence of a Chinese writer.\n—One Way Street Literary Award Citation","brand":"南海出版公司","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46127509569775,"sku":"9787573505798","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1QYvW9FASnpeArMdpFol0h5tXgJnTdGje_cdd93a77-200a-4418-b532-abe8582a6b89.jpg?v=1734596045"},{"product_id":"地心之旅-9787020182886","title":"Journey to the Center of the Earth","description":"\u003ch3\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/book.douban.com\/subject\/36615036\/\"\u003eDouban\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/neodb.social\/book\/3obQfgTrdSYxAJ8KFeJubU\"\u003eNeoDB\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e◤We walked out of there and saw the numerous stars again. ——\"The Divine Comedy: Inferno\"◢\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e ★A journey of knowledge leading to the underground universe, a profound exploration of the world and oneself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e ★Sincerely recommended by Peking University professor Luo Xin, travel literature writer Liu Zichao, veteran outdoor media person Song Mingwei, and popular adventure up-host Extreme Exploration Wang Hao!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e ★Francesco Sauro, one of Time Magazine's \"Next Generation Leaders,\" winner of the Rolex \"Enthusiast\" Award, Director of the European Space Agency's CAVES Project, and world-renowned cave explorer and geologist, invites us on an eye-opening journey to the underground world!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Over twenty years of exploration experience, over forty expeditions, and over a hundred kilometers of newly mapped caves.

After reading Zichao's books, I always wish I could follow his route and write a book like him. —Yu Minhong, Founder of New Oriental In the burgeoning field of travel writing in the Chinese-speaking world, Liu Zichao is a name that cannot be ignored. His curiosity, insight, hesitation, and habitual self-absorption all exude a unique charm. Zichao is the most outstanding travel writer of his generation. His narratives and reflections often remind me of Paul Theroux. —Xu Zhiyuan, writer and founder of One Way Space. Liu Zichao's travels are unlike those of ordinary tourists. He possesses a true traveler's perspective, delving into the streets and alleys, engaging with people, and carrying on a truly remarkable tradition of travel literature. —Luo Xin, professor of history at Peking University. \"Since The Lost Satellite, I've rediscovered travel literature, or perhaps it's Liu Zichao who has shattered my preconceptions about travel writing.\" His new book, Arriving Before Midnight, remains as captivating as ever. His accounts of what he saw and heard are unpretentious and vivid, but more than that, what interests me most is his reflections, because the author's vision, thoughts, and even heart determine the depth and meaning of travel. Many of the places in the book are places I haven't visited, yet I didn't feel unfamiliar. On the contrary, they felt familiar, as if he were describing places and lives familiar to me—past, present, and even future. A good travelogue can be truly captivating. I believe that even readers who haven't visited the places described in the book will feel a deeper connection to the stories than most who have, because the author's extraordinary sensitivity and unique perspective can better restore the truth of life itself. —Li Jian, singer I used to have a prejudice that travel literature was a genre exclusive to English-language writers, like \"The Sea and Sardinia\" or \"To the Land of the Amu Darya,\" who were more like masters of this world. Liu Zichao's book corrected my prejudice. He wandered across Central Europe, through the morning mist, and produced this excellent work: We are all passers-by, but we also own this world. —Miao Wei, writer Liu Zichao's works are characterized by a concise prose style, a unique sense of humor, curiosity, and adventurous spirit, making them a pleasure to read. Liu Zichao is a keen observer of human nature and a very talented writer. —Jon Lee Anderson, senior reporter for The New Yorker","brand":"文汇出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46242006499567,"sku":"9787549635511","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1FTvdwNvIiPcqirGPdmzTofs5EFD6hDP.jpg?v=1738966136"},{"product_id":"我所告诉你关于那座山的一切-9787522521916","title":"Everything I told you about that mountain","description":"Travel begins with doubts, and life answers with writing.\u003cbr\u003e Pure and elusive, this is the soul journey of a mountain boy. \u003cbr\u003e\"If you die one day \/ I think I will go traveling \/ I have to make sure whether the world is good \/ and worth your experience for its charm \/\"\u003cbr\u003e ⛰Editor's Recommendation☆ A Heart Returning from the Mountains and a Book of New Life\u003cbr\u003e In the spring of 2017, Liu Chenjun and his travel companion, Liang Shengyue, set out from India on a mountaineering trip to Nepal. En route, they encountered unusually heavy snowfall for the season, trapping them in a cave. By the time the search and rescue team found them on the 47th day of their entrapment, Liu Chenjun had passed away three days earlier. His travel companions brought back the manuscripts he had been carrying. With the consent of his family, Liu Chenjun's close friends collaborated with Taiwan's Chunshan Publishing House to compile his travelogues, poems, letters, and diaries into the book, \"Everything I Told You About That Mountain.\" \u003cbr\u003eA child's fierce exploration, a masterpiece of Taiwanese nature literature. We witness a young man's pure pursuit of the unknown, and also sense a profound philosophical reflection far beyond his years. Liu Chenjun takes the mountain as his core (\"The ridgeline is \/ a mountain's accumulated silence over thousands of years\"), extending from the physical to a broader context (\"The value of a travel companion lies in their mutual witnessing of this vast world through silence and backs\"). Upon arriving in India, he immediately perceives the disappearance of the local people through their exodus (\"Death is a conspiracy of the city\"). Accompanying his external journey is a constant, intense internal dialogue, and even when trapped, he continues to write. Liu Chenjun fully demonstrates a writing about nature that is inextricably linked to journey, speculation, and life and death.\u003cbr\u003e ☆ Transcending private remembrance, refining the positive significance of public publishing. Faced with an unprecedented shift in coverage, the Taiwanese team shifted from a commemorative collection to a collection of emerging figures, breaking up the chronological order and simulating a process of getting to know a person. They returned to the essence of literature, meticulously and quietly responding to public memory bit by bit, reconstructing the true image of a writer. \u003cbr\u003e☆ The original intention of distant mountains, a pure and enduring tranquility amidst the vastness. The binding designer utilizes the solidity of the outer cover's \"high-grade fine grid\" and the inner cover's \"economical cow card\" texture, while adding the smoothness of the waistband's \"Japanese advertising paper\" to create a delicately balanced tactile experience. Visually, the imagery encompasses blue sky, sandy hills, and black earth, with gilded edges outlined against the vastness, evoking the mountain within each person.\u003cbr\u003e ⛰Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Nineteen-year-old Liu Chenjun is perpetually on his way to the mountains. This young man calls travel \"moving\" and mountain climbing \"walking the mountain path,\" exploring the world with pure gestures and words. From India to Nepal, Liu Chenjun candidly reveals the emotional torment of his journeys; trapped in a cave, he embraces fear yet remains hopeful; and his reflections on life, literature, and love never cease. All of this, captured in travelogues, poems, and journals, bear witness to a keen and profound soul, and allow us to experience its perseverance and confusion, its quest and heartache. \u003cbr\u003e⛰Celebrity Recommendation☆ His writing can no longer be measured solely by literature; it is the naked radiance of life. What's rare is that he always possesses a high degree of self-awareness as a writer, constantly lingering, wandering, and reflecting, a cold dissector of himself and the world he has experienced. At the same time, this is the burning fire of a pure heart. He not only understands the mountains, but also the human condition. He writes about the ordinary lives that crisscross the snow and mud as if he were writing the lines of his own palm, deeply and skillfully following the veins of language to enter the veins of the world, with a precision far beyond that of someone his age. - Liao Weitang (Hong Kong writer) \u003cbr\u003e☆ In this intense, almost brutal, stark contrast, honesty becomes the first and ultimate pure purpose. In letters to friends, whispers with loved ones, and profound interactions with the mountains and forests, each record evokes unanswered questions from within. These sketches, however, have the power to penetrate the pages, even to the point of self-destruction and embarrassment for others… The book is filled with the living words of the innocent, untamed, eager to resist, unbridled and fearless, constantly emptying themselves to expand their travels, encompassing unexplored mountains, unreached places, and the uninterrupted self-reflection of their hearts. — Lian Mingwei (Taiwanese writer)\u003cbr\u003e How to confront death and create a lasting legacy became the challenge facing the Taiwanese editorial team. It was here that the editorial team demonstrated a meticulous and sophisticated interpretation. Their most fundamental and crucial concept was to not position this book as a commemorative collection, but rather as a literary debutante. Thus, the compilation and publication of this book exemplifies the author's unique rebirth. —Tong Wei-ge (Taiwanese writer) \u003cbr\u003e⛰Media Recommendation☆ The author immersed himself in the world of mountains, listening to the life and death of all things, practicing using words to touch the indescribable truth of the senses until his physical death. The words are as pure as a blade that leaves no fingerprints. Although most of the cuts are debris, they still make people feel the youth's lifelong dedication to writing, bright and regretless. In this mountaineering record that feels like a death performance, the author exhausts all his energy, raising the profound questions of existence in every subtle feeling, calmly yet tragically, igniting a cold and strange fire of sacrificing himself for literature. - \"Openbook Reading Journal\" (Taiwanese book review media) \u003cbr\u003e☆ Liu Chenjun's heart is tied to the mountains, and his soul also perishes in the mountains. This book collects the travel notes, poems, letters and diaries to relatives and friends, essays, etc. of Liu Chenjun, a Taiwanese mountain friend, before his death, recording the bits and pieces before the end of his life. Even though the whole book is inevitably shrouded by the author's gaze at the end, he still walked out with the posture of a walker. But he is a walker and a dreamer at the same time. He follows, examines, and then finds that he can only recognize the closest things, such as palm prints or the back of his lover's neck. The mountain is complete, the road is firm, but what Chenjun has is a sensitivity to fragmentation and the impossibility of completeness. This sensitivity is simply too great in contrast to his youth. ——\"Zihua\" (Hong Kong literary magazine) \u003cbr\u003e⛰Award Records☆ Won the 2019 \"Taiwan Openbook Good Book Award\" Chinese Creation☆ Won the 2019 \"Taiwan Mirror Culture Annual Good Book\" Chinese Creation☆ Won the 2020 \"Taiwan Literature Award\" Golden Classic Award☆ Selected as the 2019 \"Taiwan Eslite Reading Artisan Award\" Bookstore Artisans' Most Wanted Seller☆ Selected as the 2019 \"Taiwan Friendly Book Industry\" Literature Annual Sales Ranking Top Ten☆ Selected as the 2020 \"Hong Kong Renaissance Award\" Pure Literature Award","brand":"九州出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Paperback","offer_id":46242015281391,"sku":"9787522521916","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1TRne6_QCRQh-PsxVPBqJGYFxOSzd22xk.jpg?v=1738966391"},{"product_id":"血与蜜之地-9787549643295","title":"Land of Blood and Honey","description":"From north to south, from winter to spring, renowned travel writer Liu Zichao embarks on another journey, leading us through the Balkan Peninsula, a land flowing with blood and honey. Across 8 countries and 23 towns—Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, North Macedonia, and Greece—he once again witnesses the fragmented yet vast expanse of the other side of the world. This is a travelogue of wandering, yet it tells stories of people searching for home. The ghosts of history loom over this Southern European peninsula, as queer individuals and poets, refugees and drug dealers, murderers and victims, believers and merchants all make an appearance. In Slovenia, he stumbles into a poetry salon, witnessing poets' efforts to rebuild their homeland with words in a country so small it's easy to overlook. In a border town in Croatia, he sees the afterglow of a bygone empire, discovering past elegance in an old waiter. In Montenegro, he meets a woman who works as a call-taker for an American pizza chain, surprised by Americans' appetites but unable to taste the pizza herself. He encounters the godfather of e-commerce in Serbia, who embraces the tide of commercialization, seeing a world that is smooth and without resistance. He meets a generation that grew up during the Greek economic crisis, shouting leftist slogans and proudly declaring, \"We are also a Balkan country.\" The Balkans become more than just a geographical concept; it's like an adjective, fraught with complex meanings of pain, struggle, exploration, and hope. Traversing the long shadow of history, arriving at scenes marked by bullet holes, and collecting the bloody tales of wanderers along the way, he explores a more universal question, one that begins in the Balkans but resonates with each of us: in these uncertain times, where do we find home? Liu Zichao graduated from the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at Peking University and previously worked for \"Southern People Weekly\" and \"GQ China.\" His published works include \"Arriving Before Midnight,\" \"Following the Monsoon,\" and \"Lost Satellites.\" He has also translated \"The City of Marvels,\" \"A Moveable Feast,\" and \"The Long Goodbye.\" In 2019, his long-form non-fiction work on Central Asia was awarded the \"Global True Story Award\" Special Recognition; in 2021, he was named \"One-Way Street Bookstore Literary Award - Annual Young Writer.\"","brand":"文匯出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46242025832687,"sku":"9787549643295","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/10N9wXBwghOV3IKDweHTzIObAkUThUzBa.jpg?v=1738966785"},{"product_id":"失落的卫星-9787549631452","title":"Lost Satellite","description":"Liu Zichao's first work \"Arriving Before Midnight\" is reprinted👇\u003cbr\u003e https:\/\/book.douban.com\/subject\/35522033\/\u003cbr\u003e ·\u003cbr\u003e ☆ Douban Annual List·No.1 in Chinese Literature Non-fiction ☆ Fangsuo Culture Annual Book Selection ☆ Sina Reading Annual Recommended Books ☆ Sohu Culture Annual Top Ten Books ☆ Southern Metropolis Daily Nandu Top Ten Books ☆ New Weekly·Hardcore Reading Club Top Ten Non-fiction Books ☆ China Reading Newspaper·25 kinds of literary books not to be missed\u003cbr\u003e We are born free, but often we are not free to do what we want. \u003cbr\u003eIn an age of isolation and closure, listen to the echoes of a wandering world.\u003cbr\u003e ·\u003cbr\u003e ☆ Exploring the Central Asian continent and visiting the mysterious neighboring country, this is the work of writer Liu Zichao who spent nine years searching for it☆ Exploring unknown places, witnessing the journey of time, recording individual voices, and searching for the forgotten lost hearts☆ Historian Luo Xin and writer Xu Zhiyuan highly praised it, saying, \"It sets a benchmark for future travel writing.\"\u003cbr\u003e ☆ Won the \"True Story Award\" for its in-depth writing about a corner of the world☆ Recommended by Jon Lee Anderson, a reporter from The New Yorker: A work full of humor, curiosity and adventurous spirit☆ Selected for the One-Way Street Sailor Project, starting a \"new nomadic\" lifestyle and going against the tide in an era of closure and isolation☆ The book comes with a hand-drawn map and 40 photographic color illustrations.

It's a rare and remarkable work of literature, a journey through Central Asia at a remarkably slow pace, like that of a Buddhist monk—a pace that, incidentally, is reflected in the book's unhurried language. Unlike most travel writers, Liu Zichao doesn't try to converse with \"important figures\" or pretend to know everything about the land. Instead, he engages in conversation with the men and women he meets along the way, asking seemingly simple questions that yield remarkable answers. This all lends his work an unparalleled sincerity.

To what extent are their lives constrained by gender? How do they view their own living conditions?\u003cbr\u003eDriven by curiosity and questions, author Yao Lu spent four years (2016-2020), overcoming various difficulties, traveling alone to almost all Middle Eastern countries—Iran, Turkey, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, leveraging the convenience of her female identity and using the unique travel method of \"couchsurfing,\" she deeply immersed herself in 31 unfamiliar Middle Eastern families, integrating into their daily lives.

Unlike focusing on hot news topics such as Middle Eastern politics, war, and refugees, this book's author pays more attention to the daily lives of ordinary Middle Eastern people, long obscured by smoke and veils. Therefore, she lived in various Middle Eastern homes, deeply participating in the daily lives of the Middle Eastern people—attending family gatherings, weddings, celebrating Eid al-Fitr in Iraq, watching football matches in Syria, camping in the desert of Saudi Arabia, etc., presenting a more internal, and thus more vibrant and rich Middle Eastern world.\u003cbr\u003e★ The Middle East from a female perspective, and the group of Middle Eastern women from a female perspective. Almost all tourists venturing into high-risk areas of the Middle East are men, but due to Middle Eastern religion, culture, and customs, it is difficult for men to deeply enter local families and almost impossible to interact with local women and conduct in-depth interviews. As a highly approachable woman, the author used couchsurfing to live in Middle Eastern families, showcasing a rare and valuable female perspective on the Middle East and the group of Middle Eastern women. She addresses issues such as Middle Eastern women's right to education, right to work, and domestic violence, both lifting a rather mysterious veil and presenting lives and inner worlds that are both different from ours and somewhat similar.\u003cbr\u003e★ \"High-difficulty travel\" and in-depth analysis and reflection. In recent years, very few people have traveled across the Middle East as tourists, especially to countries like Syria and Iraq. For four years, due to war and poor neighboring relations and conflicting visa policies, the author had to frequently adjust her plans based on the situation. This book records various unexpected problems encountered during the author's travels and, through real and vivid stories, provides in-depth analysis and reflection on Middle Eastern history, war, women, and other issues.\u003cbr\u003e★ High-quality landscape and documentary photography. The author is also a renowned landscape and documentary photographer. The book is accompanied by over 70 high-quality documentary and landscape photographs, complementing and illuminating the text.\u003cbr\u003e......\u003cbr\u003e◎ Reviews\u003cbr\u003eYao Lu stumbled into the Middle East, and \"the Middle East\" was no longer a grand, vague concept.\u003cbr\u003eShe saw distinct individuals, vibrant and living beings. Because of similar experiences, reading her words often made me laugh; I completely understood what she was saying, but sometimes she was closer than I was. Our initial intentions for intervening in the Middle East were different; her motivation was an exploration of gender issues. But all roads lead to Rome; a girl comes to know herself by traveling the world.\u003cbr\u003e——Zhou Yijun [Senior International Journalist, author of \"Out of the Middle East\" and \"Life and Death in the Middle East\"]\u003cbr\u003e......\u003cbr\u003eThis is a moving book to read, and for me personally, it was long-awaited—finally, a Chinese person could write such a work!\u003cbr\u003eA Chinese girl, through couchsurfing, entered ordinary families in multiple Middle Eastern countries. She didn't just travel; she lived and felt. With a brushstroke that is both delicate and expansive, especially through the perspectives of different Middle Eastern women whom she deeply understood, she vividly presented history and reality, politics and family, struggle and hope, life and dreams... This is knowledge and experience that general reading cannot provide. I have read many similar works by Western female writers and anthropologists, which were also excellent reading experiences, but I always felt something was missing. Yao Lu's \"The Unseen Middle East\" fills that gap, meaning she writes with a Chinese perspective and a rather refined style, making her observations and records truly friendly to Chinese readers.\u003cbr\u003e——Zan Tao [Director of Peking University's Turkish Studies Center, Middle East scholar]","brand":"民主与建设出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Paperback","offer_id":46242104705263,"sku":"9787513946933","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1_i9Qe7FWPBRAztcDB0uTT5W2yIK6b67O.jpg?v=1738969502"},{"product_id":"一个女人-在北极-9787545823233","title":"A woman in the Arctic","description":"❄️A woman's amazing journey of self-discovery and self-challenge nearly a century ago⛷️A guide to exploring the \"North Pole,\" documenting a world frozen for thousands of years and creating a classic that has been passed down to this day [Editor's Recommendation]\u003cbr\u003e A classic work of female exploration and polar literature.

This journey gave Roger—and the book's thousands of readers—a magical, alienating \"frog's-eye view\": from the surface, the world looks new. —Robert Macfarlane, Chairman of the 2013 Booker Prize Judges. As Deakin embarks, readers begin to understand his vision of the natural world. Tiny shells hold the souls of drowned sailors; every flower has a name. He follows the flight of a bee or a dragonfly, letting us share its daily affairs. He ponders the eels he swims with. He truly ponders them... Time stretches endlessly in his writing... He avoids describing images. Instead, he shifts our gaze, allowing us to observe the real time... The remarkable and tragic thing about his book is that the issues it concerns remain so urgent... In every body of water, Deakin introduces us to fascinating marginalized characters... The book is quietly saturated with sensuality... His descriptions of swimming are salty and intimate. Throughout its 36 chapters, the book is structured like a river system, where the organizing principle, like water, is gravity. — Harpers Magazine He maps Britain through the capillary network of its streams and rivers… The book also records the people he meets along the way, from the unfriendly school officials who chased him away from the River Itchen at Winchester College to the anecdote about an extraordinary marsh eel man… What makes Dickin’s book so captivating, what makes it such a wonderful travel companion, apart from its precise descriptions and profound humanity, is its subversive nature. Swimming in the wild, away from “health and safety”, unsupervised and often unnoticed, is in some inherently quiet act of defiance. — The Guardian \u003cbr\u003eWhat first drew me to his writing about swimming was his keen eye for a quality of otherworldliness. In A Wild Swim, this enchanting, Alice in Wonderland-like quality comes alive. I noticed the shifts in the characters' emotions, as if recreating the very spot... Deakin urged me to observe as he illuminated the sensuality of his surroundings. He captured the pulse of life with exquisite, granular detail... In response to loss, pain, and grief, we move on. We seek out new and beautiful things that propel us to exist differently.

Crossing fire lines, venturing deep into remote regions of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, he sent back firsthand reports from the scenes of major events.\u003cbr\u003eHe personally experienced twenty-seven revolutions and coups, was detained and imprisoned over forty times, and sentenced to death four times.

Breaking through the Iron Curtain: The whole world was his beat—\u003cbr\u003eIn 1956, aboard an old twin-engine propeller DC-3 plane that had served in the war and was patched up, Polish student, worker, and soldier, and novice journalist Kapuściński finally crossed the border, flying to Rome, beginning a forty-year journey of wandering the world.\u003cbr\u003eIn India, having grown up with a socialist education emphasizing equality, he found himself suddenly transformed into a \"gentleman\" riding in a rickshaw; in Afghanistan, he was detained for not having a visa, but couldn't be deported because the plane he arrived on had already left, and it was the only one. Thanks to the \"Hundred Flowers Campaign\" policy, he was able to come to China, where he had cordial conversations with colleagues from the \"China Youth Daily,\" reading \"Selected Works of Mao Zedong\" and \"Zhuangzi,\" but before he could even start reporting, his newspaper team in Poland disbanded...\u003cbr\u003eThe 1960s saw frequent coups in Africa. In Nasser's Egypt, the vagrants serving the regime were like \"idle magma,\" even more effective than maintaining an expensive full-time police force. In Congo, where the colonial system collapsed and civil war broke out, everyone became a refugee, and missionaries directed children in military drills...\u003cbr\u003eIn 1979, he witnessed the final weeks of the Shah's rule in Tehran: a world of demonstrators, shouted slogans, crackling gunfire, and the stench of gas, yet after the snipers withdrew, second-hand booksellers appeared on the streets. And not far away, in Persepolis, stood the ruins of Darius's palace and Xerxes' harem...\u003cbr\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e💡3. Carrying Herodotus through the fires of war: Truth lies deep in history—\u003cbr\u003eThroughout his forty-year global journey crossing fire lines, Kapuściński always carried Herodotus's \"Histories\" with him. This historical work, written two thousand five hundred years ago, was banned from printing in Poland until after Stalin's death.\u003cbr\u003eBut what could be wrong with Herodotus? His ancient Greece was \"a bright paradise where blood flowed every few years.\" He wrote about fledgling tyrants learning how to maintain power, recorded the demise of Cyrus the Great, the brutality and defeat of Darius the conqueror, the massacre within besieged Babylon, the destruction of Athens, the sinking of the Persian fleet... and the resistors who survived amidst the eruptions of historical lava, people who were \"infinitely small\" yet wanted to stand against such destructive power.\u003cbr\u003eThe twentieth century that Kapuściński sought to document—power, war, disaster, displacement, and the miraculously preserved daily life within the cracks of history—miraculously intersected with Herodotus's world. To a Pole who broke through the Iron Curtain, examples of mutual resonance piled up. \"Are the great achievements of history truly made by human weakness and evil?\" \"Why do people wage war against each other? Why do these two worlds fight each other to the death? Has it always been this way? Will it always be?\"\u003cbr\u003eTwo chroniclers of their respective eras, crossing East and West, searched for pieces of true stories in incredible places. \"Why was he fearless, able to tirelessly dedicate himself to this great adventure? I believe it was an optimistic conviction: believing that this world can be truly described, and believing that doing so is worthwhile.\"\u003cbr\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e💡4. The lens focused on the present, each scene also \"History\"—\u003cbr\u003eKapuściński proved with every page he wrote: there are many worlds, each different, each important. History is not just a record of human actions that have served their purpose and been discarded; history is a continuous present. \"What we encounter in historical records is exactly the same as what we think we can avoid in this era.\" To understand others is to understand oneself.\u003cbr\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e💡5. Classic out of print for years, new re-translation available: \"We are in darkness, surrounded by light\"—\u003cbr\u003eMargaret Atwood's special recommendation:\u003cbr\u003eLike Herodotus, he listened and recorded, but never condemned. His life was about exploration—exploration, not the completion of any mission. What did he want to find? Of course, exotic details; cultural differences; the rich mosaic that was desperately lacking in post-war Poland. But beyond that, he sought common human goodness, even amidst extreme bloodshed, sadistic revenge, and degradation. Where is our hope? Perhaps in dignity—that simple dignity that is an eyesore to oppressors everywhere, yet can never be completely eradicated. That dignity that says \"no.\"\u003cbr\u003eConsidering all he witnessed, Kapuściński had more reason than any writer to be pessimistic, but pessimism was not his usual expression. More often, he expressed wonder. Wonder that such brilliance and baseness could coexist in the world. At the end of \"Travels with Herodotus,\" there is a sentence. It describes only a scene in a Turkish museum, but for this humble man, this outstanding witness of our time, it has the flavor of an epitaph:\u003cbr\u003e\"We are in darkness, surrounded by light.\"\u003cbr\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e⛵️ Reviews:\u003cbr\u003e\"The most outstanding witness of our time... Although Kapuściński's creative background was diverse and his material varied, his fundamental theme remained consistent: fear and oppression, and how people cope with or transcend fear and oppression; adversity and how it distorts or ennobles people; the suffocating, prolonged torment of monolithic politics, and humanity's eternal yearning to possess its own soul.\" —Margaret Atwood\u003cbr\u003e\"An openness to the world and to others, a keen perception of problems and empathy, combined with extraordinary integrative abilities and insights supported by profound knowledge—these are the characteristics of Ryszard Kapuściński... not only skilled at describing facts, but also able to discern broader phenomena and mechanisms within them.\" —Polish Press Agency\u003cbr\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e⛵️ Synopsis:\u003cbr\u003eIn 1956, twenty-four-year-old Kapuściński became a journalist in socialist Poland. A year later, he was \"unexpectedly\" sent to India, his first stop in decades as a foreign correspondent. There he would discover his life's calling—to travel to remote, seldom-visited corners, and from there to understand and narrate the world's diversity, and to seek universal truths amidst disparate phenomena.\u003cbr\u003eThroughout his forty-plus years of tumultuous global journeys amidst the smoke of war, Kapuściński's constant companion was a copy of Herodotus's \"Histories.\" Two thousand five hundred years ago, this ancient Greek writer, hailed as the \"Father of History,\" traveled the then-known world, describing the diversity of its tribes and nations, and recording their wars and peace.\u003cbr\u003eKapuściński regarded Herodotus as a great pioneer and mentor, believing him to be the world's first journalist and globalist. From China to Iran, from Nigeria to Congo, from Angola to Armenia, Herodotus taught this young journalist to discover stories in incredible places and to understand the increasingly globalized modern world he inhabited.\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, Kapuściński revisits his experiences of breaking through the Iron Curtain and venturing into the world, recounting his awakening to foreign lands and others. This book is a memoir of two fearless travelers crossing time and space, traversing the world, and also an extraordinary chronicle connecting East and West: the global undercurrents that shaped nearly a hundred years of human history, personally experienced and recorded by the author, are still surging today.","brand":"云南人民出版社","offers":[{"title":"简体中文\/Simplified Chinese \/ 精装\/Hardcover","offer_id":47743811158255,"sku":"9787222229266","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/getImage_0818122e-da8b-4eaf-bee3-603cb676b493.webp?v=1771454831"},{"product_id":"母语之外的旅行-9787564960087","title":"Journeys Beyond the Mother Tongue","description":"Our individual understanding is limited by our native language and native culture.

In this book, Kapuscinski traveled tens of thousands of kilometers, witnessing events firsthand, conversing with hundreds of Soviet citizens, presenting moments of their life stories and destinies, and weaving together his thoughts, insights, and historical narratives from the road.","brand":"民主与建设出版社","offers":[{"title":"简体中文\/Simplified Chinese \/ 精装\/Hardcover","offer_id":47743858966767,"sku":"9787513946391","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/getImage_d3eeeb39-d33f-4a3f-9c21-56e0cf770b09.webp?v=1771455623"},{"product_id":"如果你住在这里-9787551139908","title":"If you live here","description":"Children's Architectural Science Picture Book: \"A Work of Art\"\u003cbr\u003eEach page unfolds a new world\u003cbr\u003eExquisite and magnificent relief paper-cut collages take you into homes around the world, exploring their lives and secrets.\u003cbr\u003e◎ Editor's Recommendation\u003cbr\u003e☆ A \"work of art\" science picture book, showcasing richly detailed, grand, and magnificent relief architecture through exquisite and stunning hand-collages.\u003cbr\u003e☆ Open this book and step into 16 marvelous homes from around the world.

Reading her words is also experiencing her gaze, the enlightenment gained from the mountains, condensed and restrained, like a long, slow lens, moving from the distant contours and folds of the mountains, gradually delving into the texture of the rock layers, and even into her own heart. Each approach to the mountain is also a process of affirming one's own existence. —Ouyang Ting (Nature writer)\u003cbr\u003eA book that only someone who truly loves nature could write, struck by the eternity of the wilderness, experiencing ecstatic transcendence, truly understanding solitude, and never being healed.
