作者简介：

彼得·海斯勒(Peter Hessler)，中文名何伟，曾任《纽约客》驻北京记者，以及《国家地理》杂志等媒体的撰稿人。

他成长于美国密苏里州的哥伦比亚市，在普林斯顿主修英文和写作，并取得牛津大学英语文学硕士学位。海斯勒曾自助旅游欧洲三十国，毕业后更从布拉格出发，由水陆两路横越俄国、中国到泰国，跑完半个地球，也由此开启了他的旅游文学写作之路。

海斯勒散见于各大杂志的旅游文学作品，数度获得美国*佳旅游写作奖。他的中国纪实三部曲中，《江城》一经推出即获得“奇里雅玛环太平洋图书奖”，《甲骨文》则荣获《时代周刊》年度*佳亚洲图书等殊荣。海斯勒本人亦被《华尔街日报》赞为“关注现代中国的*具思想性的西方作家之一”。

内容简介：

这并不是一本关于中国的书，它只涉及一小段特定时期内中国的某个小地方。从地理和历史上看，涪陵都位于江河中游，所以人们有时很难看清她从何而来，又去往何处。

在1996年至1998年间，我学会了热爱涪陵。能再次回到长江上的感觉真好，哪怕它的旧时激流只存于我的记忆之中。

 A New York Times Notable Book

Winner of the Kiriyama Book Prize

In the heart of China's Sichuan province, amid the terraced hills of the Yangtze River valley, lies the remote town of Fuling. Like many other small cities in this ever-evolving country, Fuling is heading down a new path of change and growth, which came into remarkably sharp focus when Peter Hessler arrived as a Peace Corps volunteer, marking the first time in more than half a century that the city had an American resident. Hessler taught English and American literature at the local college, but it was his students who taught him about the complex processes of understanding that take place when one is immersed in a radically different society.

Poignant, thoughtful, funny, and enormously compelling, River Town is an unforgettable portrait of a city that is seeking to understand both what it was and what it someday will be.
