THE IMMORTAL CLASS: BIKE MESSENGERS AND THE CULT OF HUMAN POWER

Book ID/图书代码： 07042004B06194

English Summary/英文概要： Travis Hugh Culley came to Chicago to work and live as an artist. He knew he’d have to strug-gle, but he found that his struggle meant more than hard work and a taste for poverty. In be-coming a bike messenger, he found a sense of community and fulfillment and a brotherhood of like-minded individualists. He rode like a postmodern cowboy across the city’s landscape; he passed like a shadow through its soaring office towers; he soared like a falcon through the roaring chaos of the multilayered streets of Chicago. He became an invisible man in society, yet at the same time its most intimate observer. In one of the most dangerous jobs on dry land, he found freedom.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Travis Hugh Culley 来到芝加哥期望能在这个戏剧日益繁荣的城市闯出自己的一片天下，但是他白天的打工生活却给他带来了意外的归属感和满足感，并让他结识了许多志同道合的朋友，这是他以前从未碰到过的。他是这个城市中的隐形人，但同时又是一个眼光犀利的观察者。从这个近乎奴役的工作中他寻到了自由。在对他自己和他同伴的生活历程的描述中，他为我们凸显出一个经典的美国独立主义者深深地陷入社会的泥潭中的形象，但是他始终是超然于物外。
