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.

评分#一个无神论者的临终宣言
评分对比看同题材且同是畅销书的于娟的《此生未完成》,更有趣味。【一个寻求安慰更多,一个寻求真相更甚。】算是中西文化之对比吗?
评分毕业论文的翻译材料,三天看了两遍。一个人边死边写书当真是太引人入胜,难怪印了三本都被开题的老师拿走了……@我的开题老师是极品……
评分#一个无神论者的临终宣言
《人之将死》记录的是克里斯托弗•希钦斯一生中最后的一段时光。不同于《相约星期二》中老莫里的坦然,也不同于太宰治在《人间失格》中的凄美,希钦斯在这段时光中依旧充满着斗志。只不过这一次,他的对手——死亡——是无法战胜的。 希钦斯一生都是个斗士。号称是当代最狷...

评分知道这位作家克里斯托弗.希钦斯(Christopher Hitchens),是看他和前英国首相在加拿大举行的关于宗教的辩论(注:宗教对社会有益吗 2010 11 26)开始的,一个多小时,希金斯,幽默风趣,敏捷机智。当时的他,已经癌症晚期,扩散的到处都是,刚刚跟家人度过感恩节,第二天便飞...
