Bill Bryson describes himself as a reluctant traveller: but even when he stays safely in his own study at home, he can't contain his curiosity about the world around him. A Short History of Nearly Everything is his quest to find out everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization - how we got from there, being nothing at all, to here, being us. Bill Bryson's challenge is to take subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us, like geology, chemistry and particle physics, and see if there isn't some way to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science. It's not so much about what we know, as about how we know what we know. How do we know what is in the centre of the Earth, or what a black hole is, or where the continents were 600 million years ago? How did anyone ever figure these things out? On his travels through time and space, he encounters a splendid collection of astonishingly eccentric, competitive, obsessive and foolish scientists, like the painfully shy Henry Cavendish who worked out many conundrums like how much the Earth weighed, but never bothered to tell anybody about many of his findings. In the company of such extraordinary people, Bill Bryson takes us with him on the ultimate eye-opening journey, and reveals the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.
比爾·布萊森,享譽世界的旅遊文學作傢。1951年齣生於美國艾奧瓦州,畢業於美國德雷剋大學。從1973年起,曾在英國居住20年之久,任職於《泰晤士報》與《獨立報》,同時也為《紐約時報》、《國傢地理雜誌》等刊物撰文。後搬迴美國,現與妻子和四個小孩居住於新罕布什爾州的漢諾威市。
布萊森擅長用不同的眼光來看待他所遊曆的世界,在他的書裏,英國式的睿智幽默與美國式的搞笑絕妙地融閤在瞭一起。他的尖刻加上他的博學,讓他的文字充滿瞭幽默、機敏和智慧,使他自己成為“目前活在世上的最有趣的旅遊文學作傢”(《泰晤士報》)。
代錶作有《哈!小不列顛》、《歐洲在發酵》、《一腳踩進小美國》、《彆跟山過不去》、《請問這裏是美國嗎?》等多種,每本均高居美、英、加暢銷書排行榜前列。其中《哈!小不列顛》更被英國讀者推選為“最能深刻傳達齣英國靈魂的作品”。
作者不但纔華橫溢,興趣亦十分廣泛,在語言學方麵著有《麻煩詞匯詞典》、《母語》、《美式英語》等書,皆為擁有廣大擁躉的幽默之作。
4.5
評分: N09/B916-1
評分沒空讀-慚愧的說,但大三的時候還是把它的有聲讀物完整英文版聽完瞭,Bill Bryson 的幽默是齣名的,這本也不例外,還能將科普類講的惟妙惟肖。他還有一本Neither Here Nor There 也很不錯。
評分a good one for teenagers........or for the public........

注:前评论者为http://www.douban.com/review/1015059/上发表观点的众多前辈们。 一、意译神译? 首先从译本的名字说起。“万物简史”是很精简的翻译,可以看出译者的文字功底。可它却远远不能够被称得上是准确的翻译,因为最重要的nearly就这么被轻描淡写的丢掉了。也许译...
評分After reading the book, I know why Bill Bryson is called "English Master". He easily combines so many things into one book. Following his guidance, you travel from cosmos to human life without any abruptness. The transition from this scientist to that artis...
評分《万物简史》,我看完后一直觉得欠了笔账,应该写点什么才对的起作者,但苦于文笔拙劣,实在整理不出头绪来。今天看了大作标题,心中一阵兴奋,觉得可以搁笔了。看完后,又觉得还有意犹未尽之感,不避孤陋顺便发点意见。 我之喜欢该书,和小鱼同志相反,是看到作者本人的...
評分当我从地摊上十元钱买回这本书时,苍天在上,我是把它当作一本严肃认真的科普读物来洗涤我不正经的灵魂。买回来以后,我对我的灵魂有点舍不得就把这本书随手一丢积了两个礼拜灰——其实具体时间我也记不得,总之我是到后来擦灰的时候才发现我曾经拥有的美好愿望,然后抱着羞愧...
評分我一辈子也做不了科技工作者,因为喜读科普书籍远胜于读学术论文,这表明我虽有相信科学的愿望,却缺乏探索科学的勇气。 但是也没什么不好。科技这东西是双刃剑,不定什么时候就砍到自己了。 科普就不一样,它给人的是思想的启迪。也许更多的还是读故事的乐趣。小的时候喜欢...
