HOW TO DISAPPEAR
Book ID/图书代码: 00200011B49072
English Summary/英文概要: HOW TO DISAPPEAR – Part memoir, part travelogue, part biography, How to Disappear follows acclaimed travel writer, novelist and cultural commentator Duncan Fallowell as he explores the world’s oddest and farthest flung backwaters, going on the Hippie Trail to Ootacamund, exploring the rich literary history of New Quay, sampling the questionable culinary offerings of Gozo and arriving in London as the city is mourning the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. It is also a memoir of a life well-spent, a book of people and chance encounters: with Bapsy Pavry, social climber, guest of Adolf Hitler and eventual Marchioness of Winchester, and the once flamboyant Alistair Graham, Evelyn Waugh’s lover at college and inspiration for Brideshead Revisited’s Sebastian Flyte, who now lives as a hermit.
How to Disappear is a book about the ghosts that live among us – the people we may never meet but who shape us nonetheless.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 《失踪的办法》——这是一本回忆录,一本旅途见闻,还是一本传记。著名旅游作家、小说家兼文化评论员邓肯.法洛威尔探寻了世界上最古怪以及最遥远的死水地带,从嬉皮士路的旅行(Hippie Trail)到乌塔卡蒙德,继而追寻New Quay那丰富的文学历史,他对戈佐岛可疑的饮食进行抽样调查。而当他回到伦敦时,全国都在哀悼戴安娜王妃的离世。 本书还记录了一段有意义的人生经历,一群不经意间遇到的人:Bapsy Pavry是一个攀龙附凤的人,也是阿道夫.希特勒的幕僚之一,后来成为了温彻斯特的女侯爵;美艳的艾利斯特.格雷汉姆是伊芙琳.沃大学期间的情人,电影《故园风雨后》中费白裙这一角色就是以他为原型。现在他过着隐居的生活。
《失踪的办法》是一本关于描写住在我们生活中的鬼魂的故事—那些人我们也许从未见过,但是他们却无可置疑的影响着我们。(兼职翻译-XMM)
