English Summary/英文概要: This personal, lyrical narrative about storytelling and empathy from award winner Rebecca Solnit is a fitting companion to her beloved A Field Guide for Getting Lost
In this exquisitely written new book by the author of A Paradise Built in Hell, Rebecca Solnit explores the ways we make our lives out of stories, and how we are connected by empathy, by narrative, by imagination. In the course of unpacking some of her own stories—of her mother and her decline from memory loss, of a trip to Iceland, of an illness—Solnit revisits fairytales and entertains other stories: about arctic explorers, Che Guevara among the leper colonies, and Mary Shelley’s Dr. Frankenstein, about warmth and coldness, pain and kindness, decay and transformation, making art and making self. Woven together, these stories create a map which charts the boundaries and territories of storytelling, reframing who each of us is and how we might tell our story.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 这本来自获奖者Rebecca Solnit的共鸣和个人的、抒情的故事讲述,和她心爱的《失去自我的地方》一书,是绝佳的搭档。
《地狱里的天堂》一书的作者,Rebecca Solnit,在这本精心撰写的新书里,探究了故事之外我们生存的方法,以及我们如何通过共鸣、叙述、想象力相联系。在详述她自身故事的过程中-----有她的母亲和她记忆力衰退,有前往冰岛的旅程,有疾病-----Solnit重温了童话故事和其他事情:关于麻风病殖民地的极地探险家Che Guevara和玛丽雪莱的Frankenstein博士,关于温暖和寒冷,痛苦和善良,腐败和改革,创造艺术和创造自我。这些故事相互交织,造就了一幅地图,画出了讲述故事的边界和领土,重新定义了我们是谁,和我们怎么样讲述故事。(LNL)

“In her famously lyrical prose, Solnit writes about her own life, her family, and her reading, and she revisits the myths and ideas that have shaped her world.”—The New Yorker
About the Author/作者介绍: Rebecca Solnit,旧金山,作家、历史学家和活动家,著有13本书,有关于艺术、景观、社区、生态、政治、希望和记忆。作为一名活动价和记者,她与美国原住人一起工作,产生了加州公共教育系统为幼儿园到大学的作品,关于土地权、反核、人权、反战和其他问题。她的新书从先期12个人的项目、22份彩色地图和19篇散文题为《无限的城市:旧金山地图集》,与27位艺术家、作家和制图师共同创作而成的。
她定期在亚马逊上购书,因为她无法从本地的个体书店中买到。但是她喜欢当地的书店,经常去,尤其是绿色商场和万家灯火这两家店。她非常感激她的读者们,因为离开读者,作家就什么都不是,书本是沉睡的宝藏,在打开阅读后,复活过来。他们住在脑袋里面。
San Francisco writer, historian, and activist Rebecca Solnit is the author of thirteen books about art, landscape, community, ecology, politics, hope, and memory. A product of the California public education system from kindergarten to graduate school, she has worked with Native American land rights, antinuclear, human rights, antiwar and other issues as an activist and journalist.
Her new book is a departure from the previous 12 solo projects, a tall book of 22 colorful maps and 19 essays titled Infinite City: A San Francisco Atlas, made with 27 artists, writers, and cartographers.
She shops regularly at Amazon for books she can’t get at her local independent bookstores, but she loves the local independents, frequents them constantly, particularly the Green Arcade and City Lights. She is very grateful to her readers, for writers are nothing without readers and books are dormant treasures that come alive when they’re open and read; they live inside your head....
