内容简介
······

Erika Fatland travels along the seemingly endless Russian border – from North Korea in the Far East through Russia’s bordering states in Asia and the Caucasus, crossing the Caspian Ocean and the Black Sea along the way.

The Border is a book about Russia and Russian history without its author ever entering Russia itself; a book about being the neighbour of that mighty, expanding empire throughout history. It is a chronicle of the colourful, exciting, tragic and often unbelievable histories of these bordering nations, their cultures, their people, their landscapes.

Through her last three documentary books – one about terrorism in Beslan, one about the 2011 terror attacks in Norway and one about post-Soviet Central Asia – social anthropologist Erika Fatland has established herself as a sharp observer and an outstanding interviewer at the forefront of Nordic non-fiction.

作者简介
······

Erika Fatland was born in 1983 and studied Social Anthropology at the University of Oslo. Her 2011 book, The Village of Angels, was an in situ report on the Beslan terror attacks of 2004 and she is also the author of The Year Without Summer, describing the harrowing year that followed the massacre on Utøya in 2011. She speaks eight languages and lives in Oslo with her husband.

这本个人感觉要优于中亚纪行!

我其实反而觉得书里记叙的在拜科努尔的失败旅行(一系列幺蛾子之后仍然没有看到心心念念的航天基地)非常印象深刻,因为非常真实,这才是旅行的常态。

在灰暗的时代读这么一本揭开历史伤疤的书也需要点勇气。国族之间为土地为资源为霸权的争夺,真是罕有正义可言。但这不是变得cynical的理由。人类如果不能够坚持寻求正义的真意,凭我们一代代犯下的罪行,还有什么在地球上继续生存的权利?

继续跟着肥地小姐姐游世界。总的来说还是好看的,只是体验上不如上一本。我总结的原因是:国家太多了。第一,从读者的角度讲,这么多国家,可能并不是都感兴趣,比如中国和北韩,我身游(前者)和神游(后者)都不少次了,似乎不必再游;第二,虽然篇幅要比上一本长,但平均下来,每个国家能分到的其实没多少,要兼顾历史背景和旅行见闻,未免有些局促。况且每个地方都要做功课,地方多了,很难不顾此失彼,失之潦草。个人最喜欢高…
