书籍简介

这本书从记录一次徒步穿越东安格利亚海岸的旅行开始，变成了一个关于过去和现在的人和文化的伟大的星座故事：夏多布里昂、托马斯-布朗、斯温伯恩和康拉德、渔船队、头骨和蚕。通过沿着萨福克海岸的忧郁旅行，《土星环》是一本关于人类所有事物的短暂性的错综复杂的图案和令人不安的书，是对过去的丰富沉思。

What begins as the record of a journey on foot through coastal East Anglia becomes the great, constellated story of people and cultures past and present: of Chateaubriand, Thomas Browne, Swinburne and Conrad, of fishing fleets, skulls and silkworms. A rich meditation on the past via a melancholy trip along the Suffolk coast, The Rings of Saturn is an intricately patterned and haunting book on the transience of all things human.
