THE SONGLINES

Book ID/图书代码： 00200005B01025

English Summary/英文概要： The songlines are the invisible pathways that criss-cross Australia, ancient tracks connecting communities and following ancient boundaries. Along these lines Aboriginals passed the songs which revealed the creation of the land and the secrets of its past. In this magical account Chatwin recalls his travels across the length and breadth of Australia seeking to find the truth about the songs and unravel the mysteries of their stories.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Chatwin刻画了澳洲的宗教史，他简直让我们着了迷。 歌之版图是一条条纵横于澳大利亚的无形小路，这些古老的小道横跨在社区中间，起着桥梁和纽带的作用，他们紧跟着一条条边界线。澳洲的土著人民就是用这些歌之版图传递着一首首抒发大地诞生和它的小秘密的歌曲。能够引吭高歌这些歌曲本身就是一份很荣幸的使命；每一首歌都在抒写不同的故事，改变着世界的面貌。Chatwin追述了他漫游澳洲的奇妙经历，探询这些歌曲中的真谛，揭开他们的神秘面纱。

Awards/获奖情况：The late Bruce Chatwin carved out a literary career as unique as any writer’s in this century: his books included In Patagonia, a fabulist travel narrative, The Viceroy of Ouidah, a mock-historical tale of a Brazilian slave-trader in 19th century Africa, and The Songlines, his beautiful, elegiac, comic account of following the invisible pathways traced by the Australian aborigines. Chatwin was nothing if not erudite, and the vast, eclectic body of literature that underlies this tale of trekking across the outback gives it a resonance found in few other recent travel books. A poignancy, as well, since Chatwin’s untimely death made The Songlines one of his last books.

About the Author/作者介绍： Bruce Chatwin reinvented British travel writing with his first book, In Patagonia, and followed it with many travel books and novels, each unique and extraordinary. He died in 1989.
