內(nèi)容簡介:The only thing wrong with this readable, funny memoir of a magazine writer's yearlong travels across the world in search of pleasure and balance is that it seems so much like a Jennifer Aniston movie. Like Jen, Liz is a plucky blond American woman in her thirties with no children and no major money worries. As the book opens, she is going through a really bad divorce and subsequent stormy rebound love affair. Awash in tears in the middle of the night on the floor of the bathroom, she begins to pray for guidance, “you know —— like, to God.” God answers. He tells her to go back to bed. I started seeing the Star headlines： “Jen's New Faith！” “What Really Happened at the Ashram！” “Jen's Brazilian Sugar Daddy —— Exclusive Photos！” Please understand that Gilbert, whose earlier nonfiction book, The Last American Man, portrayed a contemporary frontiersman, is serious about her quest. But because she never leaves her self-deprecating humor at home, her journey out of depression and toward belief lacks a certain gravitas. The book is composed of 108 short chapters (based on the beads in a traditional Indian japa mala prayer necklace) that often come across as scenes in a movie. And however sad she feels or however deeply she experiences something, she can't seem to avoid dressing up her feelings in prose that can get too cute and too trite. On the other hand, she convinced me that she acquired more wisdom than most young American seekers —— and did it without peyote buttons or other classic hippie medicines. When Gilbert determines that she requires a year of healing, her first stop is Italy, because she feels she needs to immerse herself in a language and culture that worships pleasure and beauty. This sets the stage for a “Jen's Romp in Rome,” where she studies Italian and, with newfound friends, searches for the best pizza in the world......

　　作者伊麗莎白·吉爾伯特在小時候有個夢想：以為自己長大后會是兒女成群的媽媽。但在30歲以后，她才發(fā)現(xiàn)自己既不想要小孩，也不想要丈夫。108個短篇象征了靈魂探索、自我發(fā)現(xiàn)之旅。作者在意大利、印度、印尼三個不同國度之間尋找自己——到意大利品嘗美食，盡享感官的滿足，在世上好的比薩與美酒的陪伴下，靈魂就此再生。在印度，與瑜伽士的接觸，洗滌了她混亂的身心。巴厘島上，她尋得了身心的平衡。在這一整年的追尋快樂與虔誠之間的平衡中，她終于發(fā)現(xiàn)：“拯救我的人，并非王子，而是我自己操控我，拯救我”。
