A provocative new novel from the bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club and The Bonesetter's Daughter .
On an ill-fated art expedition into the southern Shan state of Burma, eleven Americans leave their Floating Island Resort for a Christmas-morning tour-and disappear. Through twists of fate, curses, and just plain human error, they find themselves deep in the jungle, where they encounter a tribe awaiting the return of the leader and the mythical book of wisdom that will protect them from the ravages and destruction of the Myanmar military regime.
Saving Fish from Drowning seduces the reader with a fagade of Buddhist illusions, magician's tricks, and light comedy, even as the absurd and picaresque spiral into a gripping morality tale about the consequences of intentions-both good and bad-and about the shared responsibility that individuals must accept for the actions of others.
A pious man explained to his followers: "It is evil to take lives and noble to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where they flop and twirl. 'Don't be scared,' I tell those fishes. 'I am saving you from drowning.' Soon enough, the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I am always too late. The fishes expire. And because it is evil to waste anything, I take those dead fishes to market and I sell them for a good price. With the money I receive, I buy more nets so I can save more fishes."

评分普普通通吧
评分米有看完……不过她的文字确实不错。
猜想应该是翻译的缘故,书中硬伤不少。而且作者的语言风格和营造的气氛削弱了很多。谭恩美还是比较适合写中国背景的华裔母女之间的故事,这种灵异小说不太吸引人。
评分 评分看过相关评论之后才知道原来贝塔斯曼已经在中国销声匿迹了,去年五月在武汉的光谷广场大洋百货家乐福超市还见到实体店。不知道现在怎么样了。 书看了一半,搁在了书架上。 实在想不通,蔡骏怎么就可以一个作家的身份去改变另外一个作家的作品。或许那个时候的他也算得上年轻...
评分这本书是在旧书店里买回来,一如其它地先把它放在书架上沉淀一下.今天第一天拿起来阅读,就看了一半.作者的方式显然很对我的胃口,发现她的话很朴实,不卖弄.感觉先赢了一步,这一步很重要,可以决定书能不能被继续下去.很多时候那些不能读下去的书就在这时被决定了. 于是决定明天继...
