TO THE LAST CITY

Book ID/图书代码: 00200010B35402

English Summary/英文概要: To the Last City is set deep in the Peruvian Andes, where five ill-prepared travellers - men and women with different values, temperaments and motives - find themselves trekking through one of the most exacting and beautiful regions on earth. It is a journey which may temper or destroy them. They confront not only their relationships with one another, but also the enigmas of the country’s past, the dangers of its present, and the limitations of their own minds and bodies. The ’lost city’ of their destination is Vilcabamba, last refuge of the Inca against the Spaniards, subsumed by jungle for four hundred years. In this brilliant exploration of the psychological challenges of travelling, set within the exotic jungle of South America, Colin Thubron for the first time joins his highly acclaimed talents as a travel writer with his gifts as a novelist.

秘魯安第斯山,五個不同價值觀、不同動機、性格迥異的旅行者,正跋涉於地球上最危險同時也是最迷人的地區。他們既要面對彼此之間錯綜複雜的關係,又要面對這個國度過去的奧秘、現在的險境還有思想和身體的局限。他們的目的地是“遺失的城市”比爾卡班巴,印加人抗擊西班牙殖民者的最後避難所。這次跨越南美熱帶叢林的心理挑戰探險旅行中,科林首度將他旅行作家的天賦和小說家的奇思妙想結合起來的作品,擁有讓人無法抗拒的魅力。 (Claire)
