AMONG INSURGENTS: WALKING THROUGH BURMA

Book ID/图书代码： 07861210B39451

English Summary/英文概要： An adventure story of real risk-taking and the heroic age of travel. Ten years ago, at the age of 53, Shelby Tucker set out to cross Burma on foot from China to India when land access to Burma was forbidden. Tucker had a rucksack, a diary and some inaccurate maps. He recruited a 6ft 4in Swede, Mats, whom he had met on the train to Beijing. Near the beginning of their walk through the jungle they encountered a group of naked boys bathing -- they realized too late that their Chinese Army uniforms were on the banks. With typical sangfroid, Tucker leapt in to join them, shouting incomprehensible English greetings! Before long they were in the hands of the Kachin Independence Army and managed to survive many near misses with the Burmese Army. Despite pain and constant danger, Tucker recorded each day the vivid beauty of the country, and the courtesy and hospitality of the Kachins (the most important of Burma’s hidden colonies, about whom very little has been written). Among Insurgents was Colin Thubron’s Book of the Year, The Guardian’s number 1 travel hardback and the Sunday Times’ number 2. It recevied warm acclaim from Anthony Sattin (’packed with insights into tribal identity and the opium trade’), Robert Carver (’outstandingly well written in the insouciant Peter Fleming tradition’), Sara Wheeler (’a thrilling book’) and it must surely be shortlised for the Thomas Cook Award.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一个关于真实冒险和英雄时代旅行的探险故事。十年前，53岁的Shelby Tucker动身徒步穿越缅甸，从中国到印度，直到通往缅甸的路被封锁。Tucker只带了一个背包，一本日记和一张不准确的地图。他在前往北京的火车上遇到新伙伴一个6英尺4英寸的瑞典人Mats。刚开始在丛林中穿行时，他们遇到了一群裸体的男孩在洗澡 - 这时，他们意识到太晚了，因为他们的中国军队制服还放在岸上。Tucker倒是处之泰然，马上加入到他们的行列，高喊着他们听不懂的英语来问候，然后不久，他们落在了克钦独立军的手中，为了生存，却多次错过缅甸军队。尽管要承受身体的疼痛和持续不断的危险，Tucker还是坚持每一天都记录下这个国家的美丽，以及克钦人的礼貌和热情（最重要的是缅甸隐藏的殖民，很少有关于他们的记载）。《反叛期》获得了Colin Thubron年度图书奖，《卫报》旅行书精装书类的第一名，《星期日泰晤士报》的第二名。Anthony Sattin热情地称赞了该书（“对民族地位和鸦片贸易有着独具匠心的见解”），Robert Carver（借由 Peter Fleming传统创造了出色的作品’），Sara Wheeler（”一本激动人心的书“），它被列入托马斯库克奖可称得上是众望所归。(兼职翻译-PXD)
