书籍简介

由《Addlands》作者创作，由杰基·莫里斯 (Jackie Morris) 绘制插图，这是一次穿越威尔士的身临其境、令人回味的非虚构之旅，以及对这个国家的过去、现在和未来的启示性思考。 萨恩海伦 - 海伦堤道 - 是一条古老的罗马道路，从威尔士南部延伸至北部。 汤姆有时独自行走，有时结伴同行，一边描述周围不断变化的景观，一边探索这个因语言和地理而分裂的国家的政治、文化和神话历史。

伴随着这段旅程的是汤姆参与气候危机问题及其对威尔士海岸线可能影响的故事。 萨恩·海伦是威尔士知名的年轻作家之一，它既生动、身临其境地描绘了一个国家，又对我们如何被地方塑造以及反过来塑造地方的方式进行了引起共鸣的沉思——可能是不可逆转的。

From the author of Addlands, and featuring illustrations by Jackie Morris, an immersive and evocative non-fictional journey through Wales and a revelatory meditation on the nation's past, present and future. Sarn Helen - Helen's Causeway - is the old Roman Road that runs from the south of Wales to the north. As Tom walks the route, sometimes alone, sometimes in company, he describes the changing landscape around him and explores the political, cultural and mythical history of this country that has been so divided, by language and by geography.

Running alongside this journey is the story of Tom's engagement with the issue of the climate crisis and its likely impact on the Welsh coastline. From one of Wales' celebrated younger writers, Sarn Helen is at once a vivid and immersive portrait of a nation, and a resonant meditation upon the way in which we are shaped by place and in turn shape the places - potentially irrevocably.
