书籍简介
“我来自得梅因。总得有人来。”
而当比尔·布莱森长大后，他便离开了。得梅因留不住他，但却把他引诱回来。在英国待了十年后，他回到了年轻时的故乡，驱车近 14,000 英里，寻找一个名叫 Amalgam 的神秘小镇，那里整洁而阳光明媚，是他年轻时拍摄的电影的拍摄地。然而，他的搜寻却将他带到了美国的任何角落；那里到处都是相似的加油站、汽车旅馆和汉堡店，住着一群相似的、喜欢合成纤维的人。他发现了一个双重迷失的大陆；迷失于自身，因为贪婪、污染、移动房屋和电视的侵蚀；迷失于他，因为他在自己的土地上成了一个陌生人。
《失落的大陆》是布莱森广受好评的处女作，也是旅行文学的经典之作——搞笑、令人心痛、风趣，却又带着一丝心痛——这本书确立了比尔·布莱森是他那一代受爱戴的作家的地位。
‘I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to’
And, as soon as Bill Bryson was old enough, he left. Des Moines couldn’t hold him, but it did lure him back. After ten years in England, he returned to the land of his youth, and drove almost 14,000 miles in search of a mythical small town called Amalgam, the kind of trim and sunny place where the films of his youth were set. Instead, his search led him to Anywhere, USA; a lookalike strip of gas stations, motels and hamburger outlets populated by lookalike people with a penchant for synthetic fibres. He discovered a continent that was doubly lost; lost to itself because blighted by greed, pollution, mobile homes and television; lost to him because he had become a stranger in his own land.
Bryson’s acclaimed first success, The Lost Continent is a classic of travel literature – hilariously, stomach-achingly, funny, yet tinged with heartache – and the book that first staked Bill Bryson’s claim as the most beloved writer of his generation.
