SALT ON YOUR TONGUE: WOMEN AND THE SEA
Book ID/图书代码： 03635019C00023
English Summary/英文概要： Charlotte Runcie has always felt pulled to the sea, lured by its soothing, calming qualities but also enlivened and inspired by its salty wildness. When she loses her beloved grandmother, and becomes pregnant with her first child, she feels its pull even more intensely.
In Salt On Your Tongue Charlotte explores what the sea means to us, and particularly what it has meant to women through the ages. This book is a walk on the beach with Turner, with Shakespeare, with the Romantic Poets and shanty-singers. It’s an ode to our oceans - to the sailors who brave their treacherous waters, to the women who lost their loved ones to the waves, to the creatures that dwell in their depths, to beach combers, swimmers, seabirds and mermaids.
In mesmerising prose, Charlotte Runcie shows how the sea has inspired, fascinated and terrified us, and how she herself fell in love with the deep blue. Navigating through ancient Greek myths, poetry, shipwrecks and Scottish folktales, Salt On Your Tongue is about how the wild untameable waves can help us understand what it means to be human.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 夏洛特·伦西一直觉得自己被大海所吸引，被它的舒缓、平静的特质所吸引，但也被它的咸味野性所激活和鼓舞。当她失去了心爱的祖母，怀了第一个孩子时，她更强烈地感受到它的吸引力。
在《舌尖上的盐分》一书中，夏洛特探讨了海洋对我们的意义，尤其是对历代女性的意义。这本书是与特纳、莎士比亚、浪漫主义诗人和棚户区歌手一起在海滩上散步。这是一首对我们的海洋的颂歌——对那些勇敢面对危险水域的水手们，对那些在海浪中失去亲人的妇女们，对生活在海洋深处的生物们，对海滩上的鳕鱼、游泳者、海鸟和美人鱼们。
夏洛特·伦西用一篇令人着迷的散文，向我们展示了大海是如何鼓舞、迷住和吓住我们的，以及她自己是如何爱上深蓝色的。通过古希腊神话、诗歌、沉船和苏格兰民间故事，《舌尖上的盐分》讲述了难以驾驭的巨浪如何帮助我们理解人类的意义。（WYL）

"This motherhood memoir-cum-nature journal about the connection between women and the sea is bracing and poetic . . . Throughout, her prose is defined by cool confidence and unshowy clarity, allowing its more poetic observations, of which there are plenty, to glimmer like glass pebbles . . . Just like her favourite kind of blustery beach, it’s strewn with pocketable treasures" (Observer)
"Women and water are the subjects of Charlotte Runcie’s seductive history . . . Intoxicating . . . Runcie is a fine guiding star: wise, curious, sensitive to language and landscape . . . At its best her writing hauntingly captures the whispered wave and wash of the sea" (The Times)
