大地啊，我来到你岸上时原是一个陌生人，住在你房子里时原是一个旅客，而今我离开你的门时却是一个朋友了。 当飞机降落在墨西哥首都的机场时，我的体力已经透支得几乎无法举步。长长的旅程，别人睡觉，我一直在看书。眼看全机的人都慢慢地走了，还让自己绑在安全带上。窗外的机场灯光通明，是夜间了。

在《哭泣的骆驼》中，三毛依然恋恋着墨沙漠生活周遭的人与事，《收魂记》、《搭车客》、《逍遥七岛游》、《一个陌生人的死》、《大胡子与我》等篇，情趣盎然；《沙巴军曹》与《哑奴》所刻画的主角，给人留下了难以磨灭的印象；而压轴的《哭泣的骆驼》，以游击战事为背景，细细铺写一对沙漠情鸳的生死盟，竟犹如史诗般的磅礴。

这些生命美丽的记忆，在别人看来，可能没有价值，在我，不如不去想它价值不价值的问题，自由得像空气一般去写我真挚的心灵吧！
孩子真情流露的时候，好似总是级着你们，你们向我显明最浓的爱的时候，也好似恰巧都是一次又一次的背影。

"[THEROUX'S] WORK IS DISTINGUISHED BY A SPLENDID EYE FOR DETAIL AND THE TELLING GESTURE; a storyteller's sense of pacing and gift for granting closure to the most subtle progression of events; and the graceful use of language. . . . We are delighted, along with Theroux, by the politeness of the Turks, amazed by the mountainous highlands in Syria, touched by the gesture of an Albanian waitress who will not let him pay for his modest meal. . . . The Pillars of Hercules [is] engrossing and enlightening from start (a damning account of tourists annoying the apes of Gibraltar) to finish (an utterly captivating visit with Paul Bowles in Tangier, worth the price of the book all by itself)."
--Chicago Tribune
"ENTERTAINING READING . . . WHEN YOU READ THEROUX, YOU'RE TRULY ON A TRIP."
--The Boston Sunday Globe
"HIS PICARESQUE NARRATIVE IS STUDDED WITH SCENES THAT STICK IN THE MIND. He looks at strangers with a novelist's eye, and his portraits are pleasantly tinged with malice."
--The Washington Post Book World
"THEROUX AT HIS BEST . . . An armchair trip with Theroux is sometimes dark, but always a delight."
--Playboy
"AS SATISFYING AS A GLASS OF COOL WINE ON A DUSTY CALABRIAN AFTERNOON . . . With his effortless writing style, observant eye, and take-no-prisoners approach, Theroux is in top form chronicling this 18-month circuit of the Mediterranean."
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

In the heart of China's Sichuan province, amid the terraced hills of the Yangtze River valley, lies the remote town of Fuling. Like many other small cities in this ever-evolving country, Fuling is heading down a new path of change and growth, which came into remarkably sharp focus when Peter Hessler arrived as a Peace Corps volunteer, marking the first time in more than half a century that the city had an American resident. Hessler taught English and American literature at the local college, but it was his students who taught him about the complex processes of understanding that take place when one is immersed in a radically different society.

本书通过亲身游历和直接体验西班牙所遗留的古代阿拉伯文化遗产，以及对于古代摩尔人在西班牙的王朝兴替等历史史迹和阿拉伯相关优秀文学遗产的翻译和解读，作者把对西班牙南部历史名城"赭城"的游历变成了一次旅途中的旅途，从现实中的地理的旅行进入了历史与文化的深层文本旅行。并配以相关精美的艺术与历史遗迹的图片，使得本书成了一场活色生香的文字的盛宴。作者少年即负诗名，文字精致老到，译笔(包括散文和诗歌)天衣无缝。实为文字之美的生动展示。

《远方的鼓声》是村上春树的游记，时间为1986-1989年，游历地区为欧洲，主要为希腊、意大利两个国家。“一天早上睁眼醒来，蓦然侧耳倾听，远处传来鼓声。鼓声从很远很远的地方、从很远很远的时间传来，微乎其微。听着听着，我无论如何都要踏上漫长的旅途”——作者听得的微乎其微的“远方的鼓声”，最终成了您手头上这部可触可观的《远方的鼓声》。村上的游记具有个人特色，他几乎不写人所熟知的名胜古迹，而是与普通居民共同生活，描写他们的日常工作、饮食起居等，以及他们的所思所想，富有深度感，对读者了解这些国家的真实状况有很大帮助，文笔也幽默有趣，可读性很强。

从2009年到2011年，陈丹青应《华夏地理》之邀，每年赴一地，先后游历了土耳其、俄罗斯、德国和匈牙利四国，并写成长篇游记，极具个人特色地勾画出了彼时彼地的人文、自然景观，牵连出此时此地的所思所想，本书即为这四篇文字的结集。除游记本身外，本书还附有300余幅历史和现场图片，以及陈丹青旅途中所画速写手稿。
