New Releases by Cheryl Strayed

Cheryl Stryder Shirley Strayed''s book, All I Had Left Was Bravery, is more than just an account of a journey: "What I learned that summer hiking the Pacific Crest Trail was that with so few options, you''re often forced to choose the thing you least want to do, with no chance to run away or refuse. That day, as I clung to a bush to bandage my bloody finger, and trembled in fear of the possibility of pronghorn around me at any moment, I had to choose between ''the possibility of running into a cow on the way back'' and ''the possibility of running into a cow on the way out''. So I kept going. ......

一本讓歐普拉忍不住大叫的書：「我愛死它了。一頁一頁讀著，我愈來愈覺得自己很沒種。」 「走進世界的荒境，走出人生的荒蕪。」 金獎影后瑞絲．薇斯朋主演、《失戀排行榜》、《非關男孩》尼克．宏比編劇同名電影暢銷原著 🏆 《紐約時報》、《時人》、《華盛頓郵報》、《華爾街日報》、《洛杉磯時報》強力推薦 🏆 《出版人週刊》（Publisher's Weekly）2012年最佳讀物 🏆 亞馬遜書店2012年編輯選書自傳類第一名 🏆 歐普拉俱樂部（Oprah's Book Club 2.0）2012年6月選書 🏆 美國獨立書商聯盟（IndieBound）2012年4月首選書 🏆 美國邦諾書店「發現新人」（Discover Great New Writers）2012年假期選書 什麼是勇敢？ 坦然面對心碎是一種勇敢；接受一無所有是一種勇敢； 在絕望中堅持到底是一種勇敢；決定原諒自己是一種勇敢…… 而真正巨大的勇敢是──正對著恐懼，瞪視它。 在太平洋屋脊步道上，我別無選擇， 這是一趟喚醒自己的旅程，一旦放棄，也等於放棄了自己。 一本徒步旅行的著作讓《紐約時報》、《華盛頓郵報》、《華爾街日報》和奧斯卡最佳女主角瑞絲．薇絲朋（Reese Witherspoon）同時極力大推，實在少見。 雪兒．史翠德這本《那時候，我只剩下勇敢》寫的不僅僅是一段旅程的記事： 「那年夏天到太平洋屋脊步道徒步旅行，我學到的是，選項是那麼少，卻常常被迫選到最不想做的事，而且沒有逃避或拒絕接受的機會。那天，當我緊貼著灌木叢包紮著鮮血淋漓的手指，同時因為周遭可能隨時出現長角牛而戰戰兢兢時，我只能在『可能會碰上牛的回程』與『可能會碰上牛的去程』之間做出選擇。 於是我繼續往前走。…… 迂迴複雜的人生竟然可以變得這麼簡單純粹，讓我驚奇萬分。我漸漸領悟，即使在步道上的這段日子，沒有把時間都花在思索生命的悲傷、不幸與失敗，又有什麼關係呢？」 六歲，生父從生命裡缺席；二十二歲，母親過世，姐姐和弟弟因悲痛漸行漸遠。雪兒．史翠德在傷痛的占據下，沉淪在毒品與一大堆男人中，婚姻緊接著破裂。四年後，她一無所有，做了最衝動的決定：徒步走太平洋屋脊步道，開始人生的許多「第一次」。啟程前往一個一直知道它在那裡，卻從未造訪過的世界，背著自己連提高一公分都沒辦法的超大背包，她懷抱的只是一個希望──期盼一切變得不一樣。這樣的渴望如同漫漫荒野。 沿途戰勝了響尾蛇、黑熊、酷熱氣候與破紀錄的大雪封山，也坦然接受步道上的美麗與孤獨。本書具備了充滿張力且特色獨具的文筆、溫暖動人又幽默詼諧的風格，更鮮明生動地表現出一個年輕女子排除萬難、往前挺進時所經歷的恐懼與快樂。一千一百哩的路程一層一層剝開史翠德的痛處，最終也療癒了她的傷口。 出書後歐普拉在節目中訪問雪兒：「這趟徒步之行教了妳什麼？」 雪兒．史翠德：「『接受』。我必須接受時數的事實、哩數的事實、夏天的事實、人生的事實……一遍又一遍。我發現一旦接受所有的難題，其他所有的事就會跟著退讓幾分。每踏出一步，就會引領我踏出下一步，下一個真相也跟著自己揭開。我們全都會受苦、我們全都會心碎、我們全都會有難題，它們是人生的一部分。光是體會到這項事實，對我就意義深遠。」 人需要的不是「逃避的出口」，而是「面對的入口」。 得獎記錄🏆 《紐約時報》、《時人》、《華盛頓郵報》、《華爾街日報》、《洛杉磯時報》強力推薦 《出版人週刊》（Publisher's Weekly）2012年最佳讀物 亞馬遜書店2012年編輯選書自傳類第一名 歐普拉俱樂部（Oprah's Book Club 2.0）2012年6月選書 美國獨立書商聯盟（IndieBound）2012年4月首選書 美國邦諾書店「發現新人」（Discover Great New Writers）2012年假期選書 各界好評盛讚👍 「讀了雪兒‧史翠德這本書，我非常喜歡，喜歡到很想從山頂上、網路上極力高呼，讓全世界都知道這本書。我真的愛死這本書了，愛到很想多談談這本書的內容。」──歐普拉（Oprah Winfrey），美國媒體女王 「這是一本充滿魅力與喚人情感的書。它寫的是失去，包括失去家庭、金錢、母親和夥伴，然後在叢林野地中獨自尋回真我的故事。我強力推薦大家要來讀這個令人驚嘆的故事，看一個女人如何在旅程中找到自我。」──瑞絲．薇斯朋（Reese Witherspoon），美國知名女演員 「本書的筆觸精闢、充滿魅力，寫出了憤怒、勇敢、悲傷、自覺、救贖與原始自然。我想它注定讓許多人，而且無論是男人和女人都會愛上它好一陣子。」──尼克．宏比（Nick Hornby），美國知名作家 「精彩……扣人心弦……一段令人讚嘆的冒險故事，當中蘊藏了對悲傷和生存本質的深省……這是文學和人性的成功大作。」──丹妮．夏彼洛（Dani Shapiro），《紐約時報》書評家 「感性、激勵人心……懾人又有趣……史翠德難得的文采猶如釘在箱子上的釘子嵌入人心。」──都威特．葛德納（Dwight Garner），《紐約時報》書評家 「一針見血、力道強勁……史翠德在字裡行間展現出用字的精煉與詩意，她擁有每一位作家渴望的天賦。」──《華盛頓郵報》 「從人生的崩解，到拼湊回人生的旅程，本書的描述相當生動、感人又激勵人心。」──《華爾街日報》 「史翠德的文字實在太生動敏銳和迷人了，會讓你感受到沙漠的熾熱、高山的嚴寒，還有一個女人為了找到路與自我所展現出的魄力……她踏出的每一步都是勇敢。」──《時人》雜誌

Questa è l''edizione ampliata di un libro che è stato bestseller del New York Times. L''autrice, resa celebre a livello internazionale dalla pubblicazione di Wild, ha tenuto per anni una rubrica online con lo pseudonimo di Sugar, rispondendo a migliaia di lettere accorate. Il libro raccoglie gli scambi più belli e significativi della sua carriera. Con una scrittura inimitabile, Sugar risponde in modo quasi sempre diretto, ironico, spiazzante: non indora la pillola, non scivola nel sentimentalismo, ma rassicura i suoi lettori che nel cuore di caos, dolore, vergogna, delusione e rabbia c''è un senso, e che in quel senso si trova una possibilità di riscatto. Le sue lettere non puntano a proporre una soluzione, ma una condivisione; servono sì a lenire e consolare, ma spesso offrono una nuova prospettiva da cui ripartire. Sugar è una voce da ascoltare, più che una spalla su cui piangere, perché le sue parole sono sagge, ispirate, illuminanti. L''autrice è davvero riuscita a dotare Sugar di quel superpotere a cui più di tutto ambisce: «quello di poter spazzare via con le parole il dolore, la paura e lo smarrimento della gente». Il risultato è un breviario di vita da tenere ben stretto al cuore.

Ai trong chúng ta cũng muốn hạnh phúc nhưng lại chẳng mấy ai hiểu rõ hạnh phúc là gì? Phải làm sao để có được hạnh phúc? Giống như những đứa trẻ đi lạc trong mê cung cuộc đời, chúng ta sợ hãi, bất lực và muốn bỏ cuộc khi những khó khăn bủa vây mà không có lấy một tia sáng chỉ đường. Một người đau khổ vì tình yêu. Một người thất vọng về tình bạn. Một người muốn mệt mỏi muốn từ bỏ ước mơ. Một người từng lầm lỗi mong cầu được tha thứ. Mỗi người đều có một câu chuyện phía sau, những tổn thương riêng, ngay cả những người chúng ta nghĩ rằng họ đang hạnh phúc, đang cười vui vẻ cũng không hẳn là cuộc sống của họ không có vấn đề. Vậy thứ trái tim chúng ta đang cần là gì? Đó chính là sự thấu hiểu và lắng nghe để trái tim cảm thấy được yêu thương. Đó cũng chính là lý do cho sự ra đời của cuốn sách “Một lần biết buông, vạn lần hạnh phúc”. Cuốn sách tổng hợp những câu chuyện có thật được gửi đến chương trình Dear Sugar - một chương trình truyền thanh trên kênh WBUR. Sau mỗi câu chuyện là những lời khuyên thẳng thắn, giàu lòng nhân ái và cũng không kém phần hài hước về tình yêu và cuộc sống được đúc kết từ chính cuộc đời của Sugar - Cheryl Strayed.

Auch wenn das Verhältnis zu ihrer Mutter nicht immer einfach war, so freut sich die 20-jährige College-Studentin Claire Wood auf den Besuch bei ihrer Familie, die in einer ländlichen Gegend Minnesotas wohnt. Was Claire dann aber zu Hause erfährt, zieht ihr den Boden unter den Füßen weg: Ihre Mom Teresa ist unheilbar an Krebs erkrankt – mit nur 38 Jahren. Für die Woods beginnt eine Zeit der Angst und Verzweiflung. Während ihr Stiefvater Bruce beinahe am Leid seiner Frau zerbricht und ihr jüngerer Bruder Josh sich ganz zurückzieht, versucht Claire, die Familie zusammenzuhalten. Denn sie erkennt: Auch im größten Kummer entsteht Hoffnung, wenn man füreinander da ist ...

Una historia luminosa y conmovedora sobre el duelo de una familia después de una pérdida inesperada y devastadora por culpa del cáncer. Teresa se casó en Minnesota de adolescente, al quedarse embarazada, pero pronto huyó de ese matrimonio. Ahora tiene una nueva vida con sus hijos, Claire -una estudiante brillante, responsable y madura- y Joshua -un inquieto chico de diecisiete años-, y vive feliz con el padrastro de estos, Bruce. Su amor les une, son una gran familia, y hacen juntos todo lo posible para llegar a final de mes de una manera digna. Pero el destino les brinda una nueva adversidad: a Teresa, con solo treinta y ocho años, se le diagnostica un cáncer terminal, y se le notifica que le quedan pocas semanas de vida. A partir de aquí, el futuro de todos ellos empieza a desmoronarse y comienzan a distanciarse, mientras la imagen del rostro moribundo de Teresa impregna su día a día y les recuerda cómo la vida puede cambiar en cuestión de segundos. La crítica ha dicho... «Una novelista que recorre sin miedo los caminos del dolor, presentando unos personajes que viven una vida desconcertante, fascinante, auténtica.» The Washington Post Book Word «Una historia conmovedora, con brillantes descripciones de la vida de sus personajes, sobre aquello que recuerdan y aquello que desean olvidar.» Library Journal «Strayed tiene el don de llegar a la esencia de la condición humana sin ningún tipo de artificio. El lector llorará por la pérdida de su protagonista, una mujer dinámica. Su prosa evocadora deja una huella imborrable.» Kirkus Review «Una novela llena de hermosura, directa en su tratamiento de la tragedia y del dolor. El lenguaje es precioso, ofrece una deliciosa cadena de imágenes reveladoras.» Providence Journal «Una novela profundamente honesta sobre la vida después de la catástrofe, sobre los entresijos de aquello perdido y recuperado.» The Oprah Magazine
