“新時(shí)代的馬可·波羅”叢書共6種，中、英文版。本叢書選取長(zhǎng)期在中國(guó)生活和工作的國(guó)外友好人士的自述性作品，通過講述他們的在華經(jīng)歷和對(duì)中國(guó)的認(rèn)知、感受，促進(jìn)文明交流、文明互鑒、文明共存，推動(dòng)各國(guó)人民相互理解、相互尊重、相互信任，展現(xiàn)現(xiàn)當(dāng)代絲路精神新的傳承故事。
本書講述了一個(gè)英國(guó)人獨(dú)特而真實(shí)的長(zhǎng)城故事。三十多年來，經(jīng)歷過各種苦與樂、失與得，威廉·林賽從長(zhǎng)城的擅自闖入者，變成了有影響力的長(zhǎng)城守護(hù)者和長(zhǎng)城文化傳播者。他用優(yōu)美的文字描寫了長(zhǎng)城的壯美，細(xì)膩地表達(dá)了自己愛與深情。在通往長(zhǎng)城事業(yè)的道路上，總有愛妻“美玉”堅(jiān)定的支持與無私的奉獻(xiàn)。他們定居在北京箭扣長(zhǎng)城腳下，為來訪的中外客人分享長(zhǎng)城和他研究長(zhǎng)城的故事，并帶著他們身臨其境。一切來源于長(zhǎng)城，一切為了長(zhǎng)城——這也成為了林賽一家子的生活方式。
