Imaginary conversations between Marco Polo and his host, the Chinese ruler Kublai Khan, conjure up cities of magical times. “Of all tasks, describing the contents of a book is the most difficult and in the case of a marvelous invention like Invisible Cities, perfectly irrelevant” (Gore Vidal).

每年都会有人去把我国、甚至是世界上的主要城市进行幸福指数的排名,然后大家兴致勃勃地进行讨论。如果所在城市排列在前茅,就会自鸣得意,如果排在后列,就会哀怨连天,更加理直气壮地抱怨每天枯燥重复的工作。我们以为这样讨论城市里的幸福感是科学的,但其实每一次讨...
评分人的情绪有时会崩溃,没有征兆,没有迹象,就在现在,怎么的,突然的,我似乎抑制不住自己了。怎么回事,只是在听一些法语歌,只是打开几个网页在看,怎么就难受起来,一阵疼,喉咙口有什么东西,要吐,秽物,不是,不,是。 多久以前,有人说我写得油滑;多久以前,我很想证明...
评分当读到《看不见的城市》的末尾的时候,一场夏夜的急雨骤下。 外面那些乘凉的人被惊扰着跑回家去,一列沉重而明亮的城铁逆行驰过。 卡尔维诺写到潘特熙莱雅的时候,如此描述:潘特熙莱雅的外面还有外面么?或者无论你向外走多远,只能从一个过渡区走进另一个过渡区,却永远无法...
评分看不见的风景决定看得见的风景。这是一本需要静下心了好好读的书,尤其需要想象力,跟随着卡尔维诺的笔触睁开你的隐藏之眼,去观看一个个看不见的城市。这也是一本关于细节的书,当然他也不是把所有细节都说的那么清楚,而是你自己要运用他所提供的细节把其他的看不到的风景拼...

需要一读再读。画面感十足的作品,世界相互联结又跳脱出去,符号的堆叠。在书里我看到了许多曾经到达过的、未留意的亦或向往着的世界。每个城市都是威尼斯,每个城市也都是伊斯坦布尔、棉花堡、麦加、耶路撒冷、布鲁日、托雷多,在东部也在南部,在云上也在池沼,在沙砾间也藏于暗穴中。而年轻商人马可波罗与一代帝王忽必烈命运般的对弈,竟然有种有种左右手互博的感觉了。
评分defiance of all conventions and assumptions, city layout as memory aid, city of rotational grazing (living), cities of the dead and the unborn, memories, imaginations, and appearances as realities, language and reality as symbols, time and possibility as dimensions
评分a new fave
