“失去了边界的土地我成开放性和兴奋的状态我多年没感觉。这是一个现代经典。“pico艾耶才华横溢,激烈的作家,2019年加拿大皇家银行泰勒奖,使她的首张这个迷人的游记和她的回忆录旅行骑自行车沿着丝绸之一个照明和发人深省的融合的地方,实验室的女孩,和野生,敢来挑战我们对自己的限制和自然世界。作为一个青少年,凯特·哈里斯意识到职业生涯她渴望成为一个探险家,流氓和metaphysician-had灭绝。从她能告诉世界的小镇安大略省马可波罗和麦哲伦映射整个地球;没有被发现。超出了这个星球,她决定成为一名科学家,去火星。在牛津大学和麻省理工学院学习,哈里斯骑自行车出发了传说中的丝绸之路与她的童年朋友梅尔。骑车英里英里在地球上最偏远的地方,她意识到一个探索者,在任何时代,这样的人拒绝生活在字里行间。忘记绘制地图,命名的山峰:她渴望翱翔的感觉完全禁止入内的。 The farther she traveled, the closer she came to a world as wild as she felt within. Lands of Lost Borders, winner of the 2018 Banff Adventure Travel Award and a 2018 Nautilus Award, is the chronicle of Harris’s odyssey and an exploration of the importance of breaking the boundaries we set ourselves; an examination of the stories borders tell, and the restrictions they place on nature and humanity; and a meditation on the existential need to explore—the essential longing to discover what in the universe we are doing here. Like Rebecca Solnit and Pico Iyer, Kate Harris offers a travel account at once exuberant and reflective, wry and rapturous. Lands of Lost Borders explores the nature of limits and the wildness of the self that can never fully be mapped. Weaving adventure and philosophy with the history of science and exploration, Lands of Lost Borders celebrates our connection as humans to the natural world, and ultimately to each other—a belonging that transcends any fences or stories that may divide us.
