The narrator of this extraordinary tale is a man in search for truth. He answers an ad in a local newspaper from a teacher looking for serious pupils, only to find himself alone in an abandoned office with a full-grown gorilla who is nibbling delicately on a slender branch. “You are the teacher?”he asks incredulously. “I am the teacher,”the gorilla replies. Ishmael is a creature of immense wisdom and he has a story to tell, one that no other human being has ever heard. It is a story that extends backward and forward over the lifespan of the earth from the birth of time to a future there is still time to save. Like all great teachers, Ishmael refuses to make the lesson easy; he demands the final illumination to come from within ourselves. Is it man’s destiny to rule the world? Or is it a higher destiny possible for him—one more wonderful than he has ever imagined?
Daniel Quinn grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, and studied at St. Louis University, the University of Vienna, and Loyola University of Chicago. He worked in Chicago-area publishing for twenty years before beginning work on the book for which he is best known, Ishmael. In 1991, this book was chosen from among some 2,500 international entrants in the Turner Tomorrow competition to win the half-million dollar prize for a novel offering “creative and positive solutions to global problems.” It has subsequently sold more than a million copies in English, is available in some thirty languages, and has been used in high schools and colleges worldwide in courses as varied as philosophy, geography, ecology, archaeology, history, biology, zoology, anthropology, political science, economics, and sociology. Subsequent works include Providence, The Story of B, My Ishmael: A Sequel, Beyond Civilization, After Dachau, The Holy, and most recently At Woomeroo, a collection of short stories. He currently lives with his wife in Houston.
Philosophical discussion packed in an annoying Socrates Q&A form. Lack of evidence with invalid assumptions. But it does gives an alternative perspective of thinking about the human race.
评分人和大猩猩对话,循循善诱还是让人觉得挺有启示的,属于那种读的时候觉得天翻地覆读完之后一切照旧的书,老了… 配合人类简史阅读效果更佳。 台译好像是人和大猩猩访谈录之类的?失掉了原题中宗教层面的那一点小隐喻。 (书是在柏林美术馆遇到的一位美国大叔推荐的

评分think outside of the box
评分A visionary book, questioning the assumptions we hold about ourselves and how the world operates.
This book is what I got from my first year seminar in College. Surprisingly lots of terms we discussed in class can be greatly applied in this book. Get rid of traditional narrative, the book reversed the world, extracting people out of the human world by ...
评分 评分中文译本叫做 大猩猩对话录, 还没有简体好像。 不算小说。 整个就是一个人一个猩猩的对话。 猩猩是个mentor。 说人类文明的不正常, who gave human beings the right to judge? why do we conquer the nature? who do wo think we humans are? 非常经典。 有朋友看了气到把书...
