边缘信使 – Dispatches From The Edge: A Memoir of War, Disasters, and Survival by Anderson Cooper

安德森·库珀在CNN的那些震撼人心的报道,改变了我们看世界的方式。很少有人能像他一样,在世界各地亲眼见证过那么多的冲突与灾难。从斯里兰卡的海啸到伊拉克战争,从尼日尔的饥荒到侵袭新奥尔良和密西西比的卡特里娜飓风。

在这本坦率诚恳、因强大的情感力量而扣人心弦的书中,库珀毫无保留地为我们近距离展示了这个时代最严峻的几场灾难的面貌,并揭示了它们在他生命中留下的深刻影响。真诚、震撼、读来异常有趣——这本由美国最勇敢可信的先锋记者写下的《边缘信使》令人难以忘怀。

此外,童年时父亲的病故和青春期时哥哥的自杀,在库珀的生命记忆中刻下深痕。每一次在异国的死亡和告别中穿梭,库珀始终感知到亲人离逝留给心灵的巨大力量。在直视深渊的追问下,他以极致的真诚、敏感和温柔,为人类的情感描绘出最真实的细密针脚。

Few people have witnessed more scenes of chaos and conflict around the world than Anderson Cooper, whose groundbreaking coverage on CNN has changed the way we watch the news.

After growing up on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Cooper felt a magnetic pull toward the unknown. If he could keep moving, and keep exploring, he felt he could stay one step ahead of his past, including the fame surrounding his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, and the tragic early deaths of his father and older brother.

But recently, during the course of one extraordinary, tumultuous year, it became impossible for him to continue to separate his work from his life. From the tsunami in Sri Lanka to the war in Iraq to the starvation in Niger and ultimately to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and Mississippi, Cooper gives us a firsthand glimpse of the devastation that takes place. Writing with vivid memories of his childhood and early career as a roving correspondent, Cooper reveals for the first time how deeply affected he has been by the wars, disasters, and tragedies he has witnessed, and why he continues to be drawn to some of the most perilous places on earth.

Striking, heartfelt, and utterly engrossing, Dispatches from the Edge is an unforgettable memoir that takes us behind the scenes of the cataclysmic events of our age and allows us to see them through the eyes of one of America’s most trusted, fearless, and pioneering reporters.
