English Summary/英文概要： ’I experienced that sinking feeling you get when you know you have conned yourself into doing something difficult and there’s no going back.’ So begins Robyn Davidson’s perilous journey across 1,700 miles of hostile Australian desert to the sea with only four camels and a dog for company.
Enduring sweltering heat, fending off poisonous snakes and lecherous men, chasing her camels when they get skittish and nursing them when they are injured, Davidson emerges as an extraordinarily courageous heroine driven by a love of Australia’s landscape, an empathy for its indigenous people, and a willingness to cast away the trappings of her former identity. Tracks is the compelling, candid story of her odyssey of discovery and transformation.

「若非重生，亦即消亡」
只因一個縈繞在心的瘋狂念頭，Robyn Davidson帶著一隻狗來到愛麗絲泉火車站。即使感到孤獨、害怕，她仍決定跟隨心中的夢想：一個人帶著駱駝和一隻狗徒步橫越澳洲沙漠。
在這場幾乎是賭上性命的旅程，Robyn將自己推向極限，她明白這趟旅程不是讓她得以重生，就是徹底擊垮她。一個人的旅程中，能對話的只有自己，也得以面對剖析自我。文明世界的渾沌與不確定感讓Robyn沒有機會與自我深度對話，透過荒漠之旅，她勇敢面對過去種種與當下，自我與親人、朋友的關係。
寂寞又危險的旅途中能依靠的只有自己、愛犬和同行的四隻駱駝，歷經過驚恐、艱辛、關懷與信任，她也與動物夥伴們培養出革命情感，從完全不諳駱駝習性的鄉巴佬變成深愛駱駝的專家。她也目睹澳洲原住民社會的文化、風俗、信仰逐漸被白種人侵略而淪喪，帶給她強烈的衝擊與省思。
