SNOWBLIND
Book ID/图书代码： 03371015B81801
English Summary/英文概要： In this powerful debut story collection, veteran travel writer and adventurer Dan Arnold brings to life the men and women whose lives are defined by the call of the mountain. From varied backgrounds with diverse perspectives, the characters that populate Snowblind don’t feel quite whole until they’ve summited some of the world’s most dangerous peaks—an obsession that most of us just can’t fathom.
A young climber walks a hotel hallway passing rooms filled with things but no people—rucksacks, jackets, sleeping bags, crampons and ice screws strewn across the beds and floors. Later he will explain to his fellow climbers what it’s like to disconnect his harness and leave his fallen partner to die alone in a blizzard. A woman climber, isolated and alone in the mountains, calculates the risks of walking back to civilization after her pilot doesn’t arrive for their scheduled pickup. It’s the seemingly quiet moments like these in Arnold’s stories that create such satisfying tension.
Snowblind is a dose of old world adventure writing made modern for a new generation fascinated by the mystique of climbing. For both serious climbers and those who may never use a pair of crampons, the thrill of these stories, complete with triumphs and tragedies, makes for an incredible vicarious experience.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在这部充满着力量的首部故事集选中，资深旅行作家、冒险家丹·阿诺德生动地刻画了一群在山群召唤之下的男男女女的命运故事。《雪盲》中所描绘的人物来自于各种不同的生活背景，也有着各自迥异的观点，对他们而言，倘若没有登顶全世界最危险的山峰，那么生命便不会完整---这种入迷是绝大多数人绝对无法想象的。
一名年轻的登山者穿过酒店长长的走廊，他的背包里装满了各种东西---帆布背包，夹克衫，睡袋，铁钩，冰锥。他将向他的登山伙伴们解释，那种解开羁绊的绳索，让自己的同伴在暴风雪中独自坠落死亡究竟是一种怎样的感受。一名女登山员独自被困山中，因为约好了来接她的飞行员并没有按计划出现，她计算着走回文明之地的危险指数。正是那些阿诺德的故事中所描述的看似平静的群山营造着难以想象的巨大紧迫感与压力。
《雪盲》就像是古时候的冒险故事，以年轻一代感兴趣的表述神秘感技巧呈现出现代的视觉感。不论是专业严谨的登山者，还是从不使用铁钩的人，这些故事中的可怕，最终的战胜与悲剧，所有的这一切都将为你带来难以置信的间接体验感。（DC）
