商品简介 “A riveting tale of perseverance and the lengths humans will go to help each other in times of struggle.”—Dave Eggers Trip. My parents started using that word about a year ago—“one day, you’ll take a trip to be with us. Like an adventure.” Javier’s adventure is an almost 3000-mile journey from El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across?the U.S. border to reunite with his family. Traveling alone except for a group of strangers?and a "coyote"?hired to lead him to safety, Javier’s trip is supposed 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 a group of strangers who will come to encircle him like an unexpected family. A memoir as propulsive as it is inspiring, Solito not only provides?an intimate account of a near-impossible journey, but also the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. "I have waited decades for a memoir like Solito," says Sandra Cisneros. “这是一个关于坚持不懈的引人入胜的故事,以及人类在困难时期不遗余力互相帮助的故事。”——戴夫·艾格斯·特里普。我的父母大约一年前开始使用这个词——“有一天,你会和我们一起旅行。就像一场冒险。”哈维尔的冒险之旅是从萨尔瓦多出发,经过危地马拉和墨西哥,最后跨越美国边境与家人团聚的近 3000 英里的旅程。哈维尔独自旅行,除了一群陌生人和一只被雇来带他安全的“土狼”之外,哈维尔的旅行预计持续短短两周。九岁时,哈维尔所能想象的就是冲进父母的怀抱,依偎在他们中间的床上,再次生活在同一个屋檐下。他无法预见危险的乘船旅行、无情的沙漠跋涉、尖枪、逮捕和欺骗等待着他;他也不知道,这两周将成为改变生活的两个月,而一群陌生人会像一个意想不到的家庭一样包围他。索利托的回忆录既具有推动力,又鼓舞人心,不仅详细描述了一次几乎不可能的旅程,而且还讲述了在最意想不到的时刻所传递的奇迹般的善意和爱。 “我等了几十年像索利托这样的回忆录,”桑德拉·西斯内罗斯说。
