Awards/获奖情况：WINNER OF THE WHITBREAD BEST FIRST NOVEL AWARD

Bruce Chatwin’s fascination with nomads and wanderlust represents itself in reverse in On the Black Hill, a tale of two brothers (identical twins) who never go anywhere. They stay in the farmhouse on the English-Welsh border where they were born, tilling the rough soil and sleeping in the same bed, touched only occasionally by the advance of the 20th century. Smacking of a Welsh Ethan Frome, Chatwin evokes the lonely tragedies of farm life, and above all the vibrant land of Wales. ---Amazon.co.uk Review

About the Author/作者介绍： 布鲁斯??查特文（Bruce Chatwin），一个传奇式的人物。他1940年出生于英国谢菲尔德，曾是苏富比最年轻的董事之一，后来辞去工作开始旅行。1972年，任职于《星期日泰晤士报》（The Sunday Times），三年后又突然离职，远走世界的尽头——巴塔哥尼亚。这趟长达六个月的自我放逐之旅，让查特文完成了他的第一部作品——《巴塔哥尼亚高原上》。该书出版至今受到无数读者喜爱，其独特的写作风格，更获得英国“豪森登奖”（Hawtklornden Prize）及美国“福斯特奖”等文学大奖的肯定。查特文于1989年1月去世，短短十余年间，他陆续完成的作品包括小说、散文、旅行文学及摄影集等，其中较著名的包括：曾进入1988年“布克奖”决选名单的《乌兹》（Utz），以及《歌之版图》（The Songlines）等。

Bruce Chatwin reinvented British travel writing with his first book, In Patagonia, and followed it with four other books, each unique and extraordinary. He died in 1989.
