《内陆之行》小说一开始，八月初美好的一天，一位住在巴黎郊外的老人离开了宁静的巴黎郊区住所，这个被森林包围的“无人湾”，去往他在皮卡第的乡间别墅。他边走边观察周围的环境，不时提到一个被他称为“偷水果姑娘”的年轻女子，她似乎也踏上了前往法国北部的类似旅程。这个“偷水果姑娘”——读者后来知道她叫阿列克夏——起初似乎是他打算写或正在写的一部小说的主人公。她25岁，从青春期开始就一直“渴望逃离”，此刻刚从西伯利亚回来，马上又出门去寻找她的母亲。在追寻她的脚步（无论是真实的还是想象的）、穿越法国内陆的过程中，叙述者正以自己的方式书写她，从而使小说得以诞生。叙述者一路上所看到的、所听到的、所闻到的、所感知的、所想象的构成了叙事的框架，没有什么惊天动地的经历和事件，只有一个个不起眼的瞬间和不足挂齿的印象，表面上似乎毫无关联，但却史诗般地汇聚成了一幅法国的现实图像。
作者简介
彼得·汉德克（PeterHandke，1942—）
奥地利著名小说家、剧作家，当代德语文学最重要的作家之一，被称为“活着的经典”。自1966年发表处女作以来，已出版数十部作品，获得过多项文学大奖。2019年获诺贝尔文学奖，授奖词为“他凭借影响深远的作品和语言的独创性，探索了人类经验的外围和特殊性”。
At the beginning of the novel, on a beautiful day in early August, an old man living on the outskirts of Paris leaves his quiet suburban residence, this "No Man's Bay" surrounded by forests, to go to his country house in Picardy. Surveying his surroundings as he walked, he occasionally referred to a young woman he called the "fruit-stealing girl" who seemed to have made a similar journey to northern France. The "fruit-stealing girl" - whom readers would later know as Alexia - seemed at first to be the protagonist of a novel he intended to write or was working on. She was 25 years old, had been "desperate to escape" since adolescence, and had just returned from Siberia and immediately set out to find her mother. In retracing her steps (real or imagined) through the interior of France, the narrator is writing about her in his own way, thus giving birth to the novel. What the narrator sees, hears, smells, perceives, and imagines along the way forms the framework of the narrative. There are no earth-shattering experiences and events, only small moments and insignificant impressions, seemingly unrelated on the surface, but epic converging into a realistic picture of France.
