THIS LAND: AMERICA, LOST AND FOUND
Book ID/图书代码： 01899018C00141
English Summary/英文概要： A landmark collection by New York Times journalist Dan Barry, selected from a decade of his distinctive "This Land" columns and presenting a powerful but rarely seen portrait of America.
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina and on the eve of a national recession, New York Times writer Dan Barry launched a column about America: not the one populated only by cable-news pundits, but the America defined and redefined by those who clean the hotel rooms, tend the beet fields, endure disasters both natural and manmade. As the name of the president changed from Bush to Obama to Trump, Barry was crisscrossing the country, filing deeply moving stories from the tiniest dot on the American map to the city that calls itself the Capital of the World.
Complemented by the select images of award-winning Times photographers, these narrative and visual snapshots of American life create a majestic tapestry of our shared experience, capturing how our nation is at once flawed and exceptional, paralyzed and ascendant, as cruel and violent as it can be gentle and benevolent.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是《纽约时报》记者丹•巴里具有里程碑意义的系列文章，选自他10年来撰写的《这片热土》专栏。
在卡特里娜飓风后，国家经济衰退前夕,纽约时报作家丹•巴里对美国发起了一个声音:只有有线新闻学者,美国定义和重新定义那些干净的酒店房间,忍受自然和人造的灾难。随着总统的名字从布什变成奥巴马，再变成特朗普，巴里在美国各地穿梭，从美国地图上最小的一个点，到自称世界之都的纽约，讲述着令人感动的故事。
这些对美国生活的叙述和视觉快照，与《纽约时报》获奖摄影师精心挑选的照片相辅相成，构成了我们共同经历的壮丽织锦，记录了我们的国家是如何既有缺陷又与众不同，既瘫痪又崛起，既残忍暴力，又温柔仁慈。（WYL）
Awards/获奖情况：“即使是美国历史上最黑暗的角落，丹•巴里也给人以尊严。他是我们最接近当代斯坦贝克的人。推荐”——科伦•麦凯恩
“丹•巴里是美国的瑰宝，《这片热土》是一本构思优美、描写美国人生活和地方的重要著作。他对美国经历——小城镇、破碎的生活、美丽、苦难和自然景观的理解和热爱是无与伦比的。我感谢他，感谢他记录了我们的生活，尊重我们的历史，认识到我们彼此之间的联系。”——罗赞•卡什
“《这片热土》提醒我们，美国人性格中最大的力量就是:坚韧、亲切、古怪、厌世、开朗、幽默、复杂、悲剧、乖戾，甚至善良。丹•巴里再次证明，在他的公司里，关注本身就是回报。他还向我们保证，雄辩、机智和同情心——我们现在所需要的所有美德——还没有从美国人的话语中清除，而且在这些篇章中依然存在。”——爱丽丝•麦克德莫特
“丹•巴里这部令人难忘的选集，有一种渐进的、最终几乎无限令人心碎和彻底改变的东西……带着狄更斯式的好奇心和同情心，巴里决心在国家日常生活事件的洪流中，以一种更不可磨灭、更神秘、更离奇的方式，来描绘和记录这十年。”——里克•伯恩斯

"Dan Barry gives dignity even to the darkest corners of the American experience. He is the closest thing we have to a contemporary Steinbeck." --- Colum McCann
"Dan Barry is an American treasure, and This Land is a beautifully conceived, essential book on American lives and places. His understanding and love of the American experience-small towns, fractured lives, beauty, suffering, and the physical landscape-is unparalleled. I’m grateful to him, and for him, for chronicling our lives, honoring our history and recognizing our connection to each other."--- Rosanne Cash
"This Land reminds us that the greatest strength of the American character is America’s characters: men and women who are resilient, gracious, eccentric, world-weary, bright-eyed, funny, complex, tragic, surly and yes, even, kind. Dan Barry proves once again that in his intelligent company, attention paid is its own reward. He assures us, too, that eloquence, wit, and compassion - all the virtues we need now - have not been purged from American discourse and are alive and well in these pages."--- Alice McDermott
"There is something incrementally, and in the end almost infinitely heartbreaking and transformational about Dan Barry’s haunting anthology... With a Dickensian breadth of curiosity and compassion, Barry has been determined to shadow and record a decade in the quotidian flow of national life-events that are all the more indelible, mysterious and uncanny for their specificity."--- Ric Burns
•The Irish Echo includes THIS LAND by Dan Barry in their list of the books that make the best gifts!
