From one of the most important intellectuals of our time comes an extraordinary story of exile and a celebration of an irrecoverable past. A fatal medical diagnosis in 1991 convinced Edward Said that he should leave a record of where he was born and spent his childhood, and so with this memoir he rediscovers the lost Arab world of his early years in Palestine, Lebanon, and Egypt.
Said writes with great passion and wit about his family and his friends from his birthplace in Jerusalem, schools in Cairo, and summers in the mountains above Beirut, to boarding school and college in the United States, revealing an unimaginable world of rich, colorful characters and exotic eastern landscapes. Underscoring all is the confusion of identity the young Said experienced as he came to terms with the dissonance of being an American citizen, a Christian and a Palestinian, and, ultimately, an outsider.

萨义德在初到美国时，遇到一个捷克籍的美国人，读书读完一页便撕下一页，扔进湖中，萨义德对此说道“美式生活有其难以素解的一个层面，记得我事后寻思，认为其意义在于一种船过水无痕的人生态度，不要生活留下历史或回头的余地。” 全书这个情节我印象最深。
