彼得·海斯勒(Peter Hessler),中文名何偉,曾任《紐約客》駐北京記者,以及《國傢地理》雜誌等媒體的撰稿人。
他成長於美國密蘇裏州的哥倫比亞市,在普林斯頓主修英文和寫作,並取得牛津大學英語文學碩士學位。海斯勒曾自助旅遊歐洲三十國,畢業後更從布拉格齣發,由水陸兩路橫越俄國、中國到泰國,跑完半個地球,也由此開啓瞭他的旅遊文學寫作之路。
海斯勒散見於各大雜誌的旅遊文學作品,數度獲得美國最佳旅遊寫作奬。他的中國紀實三部麯中,《江城》一經推齣即獲得“奇裏雅瑪環太平洋圖書奬”,《甲骨文》則榮獲《時代周刊》年度最佳亞洲圖書等殊榮。海斯勒本人亦被《華爾街日報》贊為“關注現代中國的最具思想性的西方作傢之一”。
From the bestselling author of Oracle Bones and River Town comes the final book in his award-winning trilogy, on the human side of the economic revolution in China. In the summer of 2001, Peter Hessler, the longtime Beijing correspondent for The New Yorker , acquired his Chinese driver's license. For the next seven years, he traveled the country, tracking how the automobile and improved roads were transforming China. Hessler writes movingly of the average people—farmers, migrant workers, entrepreneurs—who have reshaped the nation during one of the most critical periods in its modern history. Country Driving begins with Hessler's 7,000-mile trip across northern China, following the Great Wall, from the East China Sea to the Tibetan plateau. He investigates a historically important rural region being abandoned, as young people migrate to jobs in the southeast. Next Hessler spends six years in Sancha, a small farming village in the mountains north of Beijing, which changes dramatically after the local road is paved and the capital's auto boom brings new tourism. Finally, he turns his attention to urban China, researching development over a period of more than two years in Lishui, a small southeastern city where officials hope that a new government-built expressway will transform a farm region into a major industrial center. Peter Hessler, whom The Wall Street Journal calls "one of the Western world's most thoughtful writers on modern China," deftly illuminates the vast, shifting landscape of a traditionally rural nation that, having once built walls against foreigners, is now building roads and factory towns that look to the outside world.

評分这本由纽约客驻京记者描述当代中国的非虚构文学作品,总共分成三个部分,分别是城墙、村庄,还有工厂。 我个人比较中意的是书的第二部分——村庄,因为比起城墙与工厂走马观花式的旅行笔记,村庄这部分更多的是在讲述与人的相处,而非仅仅透过建筑设施的更迭、环境的变迁,与沿...
