The Khao San Road, Bangkok--first stop for the hordes of rootless young Westerners traveling in Southeast Asia. On Richard's first night there, in a low-budget guest house, a fellow traveler slashes his wrists, bequeathing to Richard a meticulously drawn map to "the Beach."
The Beach, as Richard has come to learn, is the subject of a legend among young travelers in Asia: a lagoon hidden from the sea, with white sand and coral gardens, freshwater falls surrounded by jungle, plants untouched for a thousand years. There, it is rumored, a carefully selected international few have settled in a communal Eden.
Haunted by the figure of Mr. Duck--the name by which the Thai police have identified the dead man--and his own obsession with Vietnam movies, Richard sets off with a young French couple to an island hidden away in an archipelago forbidden to tourists. They discover the Beach, and it is as beautiful and idyllic as it is reputed to be. Yet over time it becomes clear that Beach culture, as Richard calls it, has troubling, even deadly, undercurrents.
Spellbinding and hallucinogenic, The Beach is a look at a generation in their twenties, who, burdened with the legacy of the preceding generation and saturated by popular culture, long for an unruined landscape, but find it difficult to experience the world firsthand.
2020年特殊的假期,待着无事可做,读了这本书。词汇量不足,看得云里雾里,不过被开头书中描绘的亚洲旅游者的感觉、和一丝连绵不断不断的悬念吸引着读下去了。 可是,感觉后面的剧情有点崩,难道白人兄弟姐妹们幻想的世外桃源和人性冲突是这个样子么... 是不是有点肤浅啊,而且结尾有点莫名其妙。 好吧,作为工科生,以后还是读科普作品吧。文学作品套路深,我还是理解不能。哦,对了,这就去找2000年小李子演的同名电影看看去。
