TRAVELS WITH MYSELF AND ANOTHER: FIVE JOURNEYS FROM HELL
Book ID/图书代码: 00200013B66315
English Summary/英文概要: Out of a life time of travelling, Martha Gellhorn has selected her ’best horror journeys’. She bumps through rain-sodden, war-torn China to meet Chiang Kai-Shek, floats listlessly in search of U-boats in the wartime Caribbean and visits a dissident writer in the Soviet Union against her better judgement.
Written with the eye of a novelist and an ironic black humour, what makes these tales irresistible are Gellhorn’s explosive and often surprising reactions. Indignant, but never righteous and not always right, through the crucible of hell on earth emerges a woman who makes you laugh with her at life, while thanking God that you are not with her.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 玛莎•盖尔霍恩选择了她一生中最恐怖的旅行。她穿过被雨水浸透、饱受战争摧残的中国,与蒋介石会面;她无精打采地漂浮在海上,在战时的加勒比海地区寻找U型潜艇。
用小说家的眼光和讽刺的黑色幽默写成的这些故事,让人无法抗拒的是盖尔霍恩的爆发力和经常令人惊讶的反应。愤怒,但从来没有正义,也不总是正确的,通过地球上地狱的磨练,出现了一个女人,她让你和她一起嘲笑生活,同时感谢上帝,你没有和她在一起。(WYL)

About the Author/作者介绍: 1908年,玛莎•盖尔霍恩出生于密苏里州的圣路易斯。她觉得那是一个适合旅行作家的完美地方,因为人们总是试图逃离那里。她在伦敦去世,享年89岁。她报道了从西班牙内战到南斯拉夫解体的几乎所有冲突。在她80多岁的时候,她研究并写了一篇严厉揭露南美街头流浪儿童罪行的文章。盖尔霍恩希望以小说家的身份被世人铭记,他写了11本小说,只有3本非小说类书籍。
Martha Gellhorn was born in 1908 in St Louis Missouri, the perfect place for a travel writer she felt, because people were always trying to get away from it. She died at the age of 89 in London having reported on almost every conflict from the Spanish Civil War to the disintegration of Yugoslavia. In her late 80s she researched and wrote an excoriating expose of the evils perpetrated on South American street children. Gellhorn wanted to be remembered as a novelist and wrote 11 books of fiction, and only three non-fiction books.
