ABOUT WINTER PASTURE
“Li Juan spent minus-20-degree nights with nomadic herders in the Chinese steppes. You’ll want to join her.” –Laura Miller, Slate
“Deeply moving…full of humor, introspection and glimpses into a vanishing lifestyle.” —The New York Times Book Review
Winner of the People’s Literature Award, WINTER PASTURE has been a bestselling book in China for several years. Li Juan has been widely lauded in the international literary community for her unique contribution to the narrative non-fiction genre. WINTER PASTURE is her crowning achievement, shattering the boundaries between nature writing and personal memoir.
Li Juan and her mother own a small convenience store in the Altai Mountains in Northwestern China, where she writes about her life among grasslands and snowy peaks. To her neighbors’ surprise, Li decides to join a family of Kazakh herders as they take their 30 boisterous camels, 500 sheep and over 100 cattle and horses to pasture for the winter. The so-called “winter pasture” occurs in a remote region that stretches from the Ulungur River to the Heavenly Mountains. As she journeys across the vast, seemingly endless sand dunes, she helps herd sheep, rides horses, chases after camels, builds an underground home using manure, gathers snow for water, and more. With a keen eye for the understated elegance of the natural world, and a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor, Li vividly captures both the extraordinary hardships and the ordinary preoccupations of the day-to-day of the men and women struggling to get by in this desolate landscape. Her companions include Cuma, the often drunk but mostly responsible father; his teenage daughter, Kama, who feels the burden of the world on her shoulders and dreams of going to college; his reticent wife, a paragon of decorum against all odds, who is simply known as “sister-in-law.”
In bringing this faraway world to English language readers here for the first time, Li creates an intimate bond with the rugged people, the remote places and the nomadic lifestyle. In the signature style that made her an international sensation, Li Juan transcends the travel memoir genre to deliver an indelible and immersive reading experience on every page.

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
三版自序 这些年这本书被翻译为英文和日文出版过。出版过程中和翻译有着大量交流与沟通,令我打开了另外一些看待这部作品的视角,并发现了许多问题。主要是自己缺乏耐心而造成的各种表达歧义。于是在这一次的版本里做了相应的修改或增加注释。除此之外,第三版并没有重大改变。... (展开)游牧还是定居?读李娟的《冬牧场》
