宁波图书馆日前举办《红星照耀中国》主题展览，展出该书英、俄、日、法、德、希腊等16种语言版本，生动呈现这部经典著作的全球传播之路1。这部由美国记者埃德加·斯诺撰写的纪实作品，以1936年6月他进入陕北采访四个月的经历为基础1，1937年10月英文原版在伦敦出版后，数周内售出十余万册1。中译本《西行漫记》于1938年2月出版，首印仅两千册，却在不到一年内再版四次，发行量达八万余册1，在中国社会引发广泛关注和影响。
展览以该书的诞生、传播和经典价值为主线组织呈现1，已吸引4.7万观众参观，其中青少年占比超过五成1。这反映出该著作对不同代际读者的持久吸引力。从1979年董乐山译本出版后两年内发行165万册1，到2017年9月被编入初中语文"名著导读"教材1，再到2024年3月以来"我陪孩子读经典"行动在中外50余座城市推广1，《红星照耀中国》在90年后的今天依然以多种形式照耀着新一代读者。
Ningbo Library has launched a thematic exhibition dedicated to Edgar Snow's seminal work "Red Star Over China," showcasing 16 language versions of the book 1. The exhibition, which traces the book's creation, dissemination, and enduring significance, has drawn 47,000 visitors since opening, with young people accounting for more than half of attendees 1.
Snow, an American journalist, spent four months conducting fieldwork in northern Shaanxi beginning in June 1936 1. The English-language original was published in London in October 1937, selling over 100,000 copies within weeks 1. The Chinese translation, titled "Travels to the West," debuted in February 1938 with an initial print run of 2,000 copies; the book went through four printings within less than a year, eventually reaching a circulation exceeding 80,000 copies 1. The work remains the first comprehensive historical record of the Long March 1.
The book's influence has continued to grow across generations. A 1979 translation by Dong Lezhe achieved circulation of 1.65 million copies within two years 1. In September 2017, the work was incorporated into middle school Chinese language curricula as part of the "Classics Reading Guide" program 1. Since March 2024, an initiative titled "I Read Classics with My Child" has expanded to over 50 cities across China and internationally 1.
