After nearly two decades in Britain, Bill Bryson took the decision to move back to the States for a while, to let his kids experience life in another country, to give his wife the chance to shop until 10 p.m. seven nights a week, and, most of all, because he had read the 3.7 million Americans believed that they had been abducted by aliens at one time or another, and it was thus clear to him that his people needed him. But before leaving his much-loved home in North Yorkshire, Bryson insisted on taking one last trip around Britain, a sort of valedictory tour of the green and kindly island that had so long been his home. His aim was to take stock of the nation's public face and private parts (as it were), and to analyse what precisely it was he loved so much about a country that had produced Marmite, a military hero whose dying wish was to be kissed by a fellow named Hardy, place names like Farleigh Wallop, Titsey and Shellow Bowells, people who said 'Mustn't grumble', and Gardeners' Question Time. So in Notes from a Small Island, Bryson turns a laconic but affectionate eye on his adopted country. Britain will never seem the same again.
比爾·布萊森,世界知名的非虛構作傢,1951年齣生於美國艾奧瓦州,曾任職於倫敦《泰晤士報》與《獨立報》,同時也為《紐約時報》、《國傢地理雜誌》等撰文。作品主要包括旅遊類隨筆、幽默獨特的科普作品——比如《萬物簡史》、《母語》等等,橫跨多種領域,皆為非學院派的幽默之作。他的作品詼諧嘲謔的風格堪稱一絕,整體上舉重若輕,能讓普通讀者産生很強的認同感,不失為雅俗共賞的典範,深受讀者喜愛,也獲得很高的評價。每部作品均高踞美國、英國、加拿大暢銷排行榜前茅。
比爾·布萊森之所以能在二十世紀的旅遊文學中占據一席之地,並成為目前世界公認的最有趣的旅遊文學作傢,是因為他擅長用不同的眼光來看待他所遊曆的世界,他真切地捕捉到瞭一個旅人的內心感受。自然地理、生活情趣、社會時態,布萊森信手拈來無不奇趣。他的尖刻加上他的博學,讓他的文字充滿瞭智慧、機敏和幽默。作為在英國生活瞭二十多年的美國人,他的作品又兼具瞭開朗風趣、絕不怕粗俗的美式調侃和冷峻犀利、一針見血的英式嘲諷。
還是Bill Bryson一貫很“損”的嘴,然而字裏行間還是對這個生活瞭近20年的國傢的感情。

評分well with expectation as such, disappointment is perhaps all too natural... managed to extract from my dried up being a few laughs at the very beginning, very much due to my glorious mood in retrospect, but bored me considerably till the very end...esp. after a reading experience like Dorian Gray, most unfortunately...
作为09年度我最爱的五本书之一,我实在无法掩饰我对这本书的爱意,作者那凡事调笑到冒泡的腔调在书中随处可见,但我最最喜爱的却是那精妙的用词,不禁想起所谓的“通感”,读罢之后,意犹未尽。 作者以环岛为主线骨,漫不经心的道出专属于英国的那些人、事、物,它们的特别之处...
評分英文版在Kindle里囤了多少年了没开动,凤凰版的中文版忽然到手了,才读了几章就觉得翻译得很不错啊,虽然豆瓣评分居然低得匪夷所思。 译者的用词传神地体现了英式黑色幽默,各种细节处的讽刺和揶揄,每一个热爱英剧or英式自黑的人都能体会吧~ 比如刚刚读到的这一段,恨不得每...
評分我非要喜欢看这些富有洞察力的善良男人刻薄得有点恶毒的讲话,例如比尔布莱森,例如毛姆‘例如艾柯,例如安东尼波顿,还非要喜欢那些富于臆想和独独相信自己的男人的讲话,例如马可波罗,例如李渔,例如舒国治。反正就是喜欢看,因为我不能那样讲啊,一个善良又宽容的女青年怎...

評分前些日子偶然看到英国《卫报》曾经举行过一个“生命中不可缺少的100本书”的评选活动。浏览一下上榜的作家和作品,大都是我们耳熟能详的人物,莎士比亚、陀思妥耶夫斯基、托尔斯泰如此等等。本来觉得这个榜单没什么新奇的,漫不经心地往下看,在狄更斯的《雾都孤儿》之后,乔伊...
