THE CHICKEN CHRONICLES
Book ID/图书代码： 14320010B42406
English Summary/英文概要： When Alice Walker grew up in the deep south of America, her family always kept chickens - for meat and for eggs - and her job was to chase down the Sunday dinner! In later life, when she settled in Mexico and was growing her own food, she realized how much she missed keeping them and decided to get a brood of her own. She discovered a deep contentment in keeping chickens, looking after them and watching them develop. This experience also made her think about her own life - her occasional eating of meat, meditating on the interdependence of humans and animals, and brought back severed memories of her childhood. This book isn’t a ’how to’ on keeping chickens, although there is plenty of detail about the practicalities; it is a warm memoir chronicling her journey and the way in which keeping chickens led her to a fuller understanding of herself.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 作者Alice Walker成長於美國南方。家中飼養的雞隻是他們的食物來源，而Alice的工作就是為星期天的晚餐挑出適合的雞隻。晚年定居於墨西哥，過著自給自足的生活。此時她體悟到自己是多麼懷念過去養雞的日子。於是開始飼養一群屬於她的小雞。看著牠們成長，讓Alice回憶起自己的人生。偶爾吃些雞肉與蛋，使她思考人與動物間相互依賴的關係，也勾起許多童年的時光。書中充滿了許多養雞的細節，但它絕不是敎你如何養雞的教戰守則。相反地，是本回憶錄。記錄了作者的人生旅程，以及因為養雞而更加了解自己。(Vincent)
