From the author of the international bestseller A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian comes a tender and hilarious novel about a crew of migrant workers from three continents who are forced to flee their English strawberry field for a journey across all of England in pursuit of their various dreams of a better future. <br/><br/> Somewhere in the heart of the green and pleasant land called England is a valley filled with strawberries. A group of migrant workers, who hail from Eastern Europe, China, and Africa have come here to harvest them for delivery to British supermarkets, and end up living in two small trailer homes, a men's trailer and a woman's trailer. They are all seeking a better life (and in their different ways they are also, of course, looking for love) and they've come to England, some legally, some illegally, to find it. They are supervised-some would say exploited-by Farmer Leaping, a red-faced Englishman who treats everyone equally except for the Polish woman named Yola, the boss of the crew, who favors him with her charms in exchange for something a little extra on the side. But the two are discreet, and all is harmonious in this cozy vale-until the evening when Farmer Leaping's wife comes upon him and Yola and does what any woman would do in this situation: She runs him down in her red sports car. By the time the police arrive the migrant workers have piled into one of the trailer homes and hightailed it out of their little arcadia, thus setting off one of the most enchanting, merry, and moving picaresque journeys across the length and breadth of England since Chaucer's pilgrims set off to Canterbury. <br/><br/> Along the way, the workers' fantasies about England keep rudely bumping into the ignominious, brutal, and sometimes dangerous realities of life on the margins for ŽmigrŽs in the new globalized labor market. Some of them meet terrible ends, some give up and go back home, but for those who manage to hang in for the full course of this madcap ride, the rewards-like the strawberries-prove awfully sweet-especially for the young Ukrainians from opposite sides of the tracks, Andriy and Irina, whose initial mutual irritation blossoms into love.

也许是在封面读到的吧,像作者以前在中国有译作的〈乌克兰拖拉机史>一样,里面描写了一些粗俗而低下的人,然而读的时候颇出乎于我意料之外,首先是文笔,不知道是译笔的典雅有误,还是原作作者本来就用的是一种优美的文风,我从书的内容看不出半点粗俗,特别是前面一半的内容老让人...

也许此刻你正在酝酿睡意,看完最后两条朋友圈,然后放好手机,闭眼睡觉。 突然,没来由的想到今天好像在领导面前说错话了,解决方案还没有,PPT还没写好,明天就要开会了,为什么他今天没回我微信…… 要不再打开微信刷下朋友圈好了。 不行不行,更睡不着了。 再起身放回手机...

到英国去打工《英国农民工小像》 看这本书完全是因为另一本书,那本书的名字叫做《乌克兰拖拉机简史》,今年在网络中很火。这本书并不是真正的拖拉机的历史,而是一部小说,据说还挺幽默。作者是玛琳娜·柳薇卡,大器晚成的柳薇卡58岁时写出了《乌克兰拖拉机简史》一书而一...

这本书的原名是Two Caravans,直译过来的话应该是“两辆房车”,当然将其处理为现在这个名字,也是出于与作者前一作品《乌克兰拖拉机简史》保持一致的考虑。从创作风格上看,尽管深度上稍逊前作,但无论是语言还是思考角度,本作都与前作保持了较为统一的风格,因而倘若你对...
