书籍简介

大约一年前，我父母开始用这个词--"总有一天，你会和我们一起去旅行。就像探险一样"。 

萨莫拉（ Zamora）的冒险之旅是从萨尔瓦多的小镇出发，穿越危地马拉和墨西哥，跨越美国边境，行程三千英里。他将离开心爱的姨妈和祖父母，与四年前离开的母亲和几乎不记得的父亲团聚。在一群陌生人和一个受雇带领他们到达安全地带的 "土狼 "的陪伴下，萨莫拉独自旅行，他预计这次旅行将持续短短两周。

九岁的萨莫拉只能想象着冲进父母的怀抱，依偎在他们中间，重新生活在同一个屋檐下。他无法预见等待他的将是危险的舟车劳顿、无情的沙漠跋涉、尖锐的枪口、逮捕和欺骗；他也不知道这两个星期将变成改变他一生的两个月，他将与移民伙伴们一起生活，他们将像一个意想不到的家庭一样把他包围起来。

《索利特》这本回忆录既扣人心弦，又感人至深，它不仅为我们讲述了一段险象环生、几乎不可能完成的旅程，而且还为我们讲述了在意想不到的时刻，那些奇迹般的善意和爱。《索利特》是萨莫拉的故事，但也是千百万别无选择、只能背井离乡的人的故事。

My parents started using that word about a year ago—“one day, you’ll take a trip to be with us. Like an adventure.”  

Zamora’s adventure is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border. He will leave behind his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a mother who left four years ago and a father he barely remembers. Traveling alone amid a group of strangers and a “coyote” hired to lead them to safety,

Zamora expects his trip to last two short weeks.

At nine years old, all Javier can imagine is rushing into his parents’ arms, snuggling in bed between them, and living under the same roof again. He cannot foresee the perilous boat trips, relentless desert treks, pointed guns, arrests and deceptions that await him; nor can he know that those two weeks will expand into two life-altering months alongside fellow migrants who will come to encircle him like an unexpected family.

A memoir as gripping as it is moving, Solito provides an immediate and intimate account not only of a treacherous and near-impossible journey, but also of the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. Solito is Javier Zamora’s story, but it’s also the story of millions of others who had no choice but to leave home.

作者简介

萨莫拉 1990 年出生于萨尔瓦多。他的父亲在他一岁时逃离了萨尔瓦多，母亲在他快满五岁时逃离了萨尔瓦多。父母的移民都是由美国资助的萨尔瓦多内战引起的。萨莫拉九岁时迁徙到危地马拉、墨西哥和索诺拉沙漠。他的诗集《无人陪伴》探讨了战争和移民对其家庭的影响。萨莫拉曾是哈佛大学拉德克利夫研究员，并获得美国国家艺术基金会和诗歌基金会的奖学金。

Zamora was born in El Salvador in 1990. His father fled the country when he was one, and his mother when he was about to turn five. Both parents' migrations were caused by the U.S.-funded Salvadoran Civil War. When he was nine Javier migrated through Guatemala, Mexico, and the Sonoran Desert. His poetry collection, Unaccompanied, explores the impact of the war and immigration on his family. Zamora has been a Radcliffe Fellow at Harvard and holds fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation.
