| 简介 | 编辑推荐 In Simon Winchester, the Yangtze has found a chronicler equal to its prodigiousenergies ... The River at the Centre of the World is an immensely authoritative account, the definitive book on the Yangtze. 内容推荐 The mighty Yangtze splits China in two, between the wheat-growing North and the rice-growing South; almost 500 million people live and work along its banks, tn this compelling book, award-winning writer Simon Winchester and his plucky companion Lily travel upstream all the way from hustling cosmopolitan Shanghai to Tihet, deeper and deeeer into almost inaccessible territory and the hidden recesses of early Chinese history. Their 3,900-mile journey takes them past the magnificent Three Gorges, soon to he the site of the world's largest hydro-electric dam, through jungles, grasslands, high plains, polluted industrial landscapes and ice-covered mountain ranges. Winchester sketches in the background, describes a host of strange encounters and vividly reveals the harsh realities of today's China. There could be no more enthralling account of the greatest river on earth. 目录 Map of China In Gratitude Author's Note Prelude The Plan The Mouth, Open Wide The City Without a Past The First Reach City of Victims Rising Waters Crushed, Torn and Curled Swimming A New Great Wall The Shipmasters' Guide The Foothills The Garden Country of Joseph Rock The River Wild Harder Than the Road to Heaven Headwaters Suggestions for Further Reading Index |
