小说描写的是本世纪二三十年代在国际新闻界中一位法国男青年和一位美国女青年对各自信念的苦苦追求及其复杂而深沉的感情经历。鲁尔克自幼受前辈的影响,成了这个残酷世界的冷静而无情的观众。他18岁时从法国来到美国,凭着自己的信念和才智,成为美国几家大报的撰稿人。此后,他闯荡于墨西哥、中国和德国,用他的胆识乃至生命换取了一条又一条的独家新闻。他拥有众多的读者,但他却很少在自己的报道中署上真名
The novel portrays the struggles of a French young man and a young American woman in the international press during the 1920s and 1930s on their respective convictions and their complicated and profound emotional experiences. Rulke, influenced by his predecessors since childhood, has become a calm and unforgiving audience in this brutal world. When he was 18, he came to the United States from France and, with his own conviction and intelligence, became a contributor to several major U.S. newspapers. Since then, he battles in Mexico, China and Germany, with his courage and even life in exchange for one by one exclusive news. He has a large readership, but seldom names his own story
