About the Book

一个半世纪前,处在南北战争边缘或前夜的美国,挣扎中的封建农奴社会与资本主义初期工业文明相互对抗角力,统一与分裂,蓄奴与反蓄奴,促进制度转型的声浪日益高涨,随后引发南北战端。尽管百年来人类社会高速发展,但昨天似乎并不久远。

河流是人类繁衍生息的命脉,商品经济和生产力的提升无不得益于航运舟楫和灌溉之便利;人类习惯于临水而居,择水而憩,开埠通商,安居乐业,河流是承载农耕文明迈向工业文明的通道,世界四大长河之一的密西西比河流域亦概莫能外。十五至十六世纪,以哥伦布、麦哲伦等为先导的海洋文明传入美洲大陆,从十八到十九世纪,在北美洲新大陆,与江河湖海、支流河口汇聚的各口岸因为通商开埠,成为航运枢纽和各类人等迁徙淘金探险的梦幻之地,濒临墨西哥湾的新奥尔良(全美当时第二大港口,仅次于纽约)因地处密西西比河出海口更是如此。书中惊艳邂逅、生离死别、爱恨情仇,扑朔迷离的传奇故事既反映了美国南北内战之前的人文地理和风土人情,也透析出作者本人的"贵族"加"文青"式的偏好和品位,这些都与作者的欧洲古典文学背景不无关联。

小说以作者第一人称的"经历",叙述一个刚离开校门,走入社会的文学青年,从欧洲前往美洲新大陆谋生、在密西西比河下游流域探险期间的所见所闻和奇特经历,其中既有惊艳邂逅的三角恋情、也有扑朔迷离的探险复仇,和精彩纷呈的奇闻逸事。小说还以浓墨重彩、绚丽多姿的细致笔调描绘了密西西比河流域千姿百态的原生态风貌以及人文景观,让人赏心悦目,美不胜收。
