On June 8, 2010, while on a book tour for his bestselling memoir, Hitch-22 , Christopher Hitchens was stricken in his New York hotel room with excruciating pain in his chest and thorax. As he would later write in the first of a series of award-winning columns for Vanity Fair, he suddenly found himself being deported "from the country of the well across the stark frontier that marks off the land of malady." Over the next eighteen months, until his death in Houston on December 15, 2011, he wrote constantly and brilliantly on politics and culture, astonishing readers with his capacity for superior work even in extremis.
Throughout the course of his ordeal battling esophageal cancer, Hitchens adamantly and bravely refused the solace of religion, preferring to confront death with both eyes open. In this riveting account of his affliction, Hitchens poignantly describes the torments of illness, discusses its taboos, and explores how disease transforms experience and changes our relationship to the world around us. By turns personal and philosophical, Hitchens embraces the full panoply of human emotions as cancer invades his body and compels him to grapple with the enigma of death.
MORTALITY is the exemplary story of one man's refusal to cower in the face of the unknown, as well as a searching look at the human predicament. Crisp and vivid, veined throughout with penetrating intelligence, Hitchens's testament is a courageous and lucid work of literature, an affirmation of the dignity and worth of man.

编辑心水 按照谢林的说法,构成哲学的,应该是一个整体,也就是说,不是像宗教哲学、艺术哲学……乃至健康哲学、金钱哲学这样零零碎碎、各自为政的;即便是实行某一种分类法,涉及的也只是一个“幂次”的问题。原来是一块大饼,掰一块下来,虽然小了点儿,也还是那块饼,...
评分“最狷狂的作家”克里斯托弗·希钦斯的“死亡”随笔 克里斯托弗·希钦斯供职的《名利场》杂志有一个著名的栏目“普鲁斯特问卷”,其中有一个问题是“你愿意怎么死去”?大部分人都希望安然、无痛苦地死去。加拿大女作家玛格丽特·阿特伍德说:“死于没有痛苦的疾病”,美国...
