图书描述

From one of the most beloved and bestselling authors in the English language, a vivid, nostalgic, and utterly hilarious memoir of growing up in the 1950s

Bill Bryson was born in the middle of the American century—1951—in the middle of the United States—Des Moines, Iowa—in the middle of the largest generation in American history—the baby boomers. As one of the best and funniest writers alive, he is perfectly positioned to mine his memories of a totally all-American childhood for 24-carat memoir gold. Like millions of his generational peers, Bill Bryson grew up with a rich fantasy life as a superhero. In his case, he ran around his house and neighborhood with an old football jersey with a thunderbolt on it and a towel about his neck that served as his cape, leaping tall buildings in a single bound and vanquishing awful evildoers (and morons)—in his head—as "The Thunderbolt Kid."

Using this persona as a springboard, Bill Bryson re-creates the life of his family and his native city in the 1950s in all its transcendent normality—a life at once completely familiar to us all and as far away and unreachable as another galaxy. It was, he reminds us, a happy time, when automobiles and televisions and appliances (not to mention nuclear weapons) grew larger and more numerous with each passing year, and DDT, cigarettes, and the fallout from atmospheric testing were considered harmless or even good for you. He brings us into the life of his loving but eccentric family, including affectionate portraits of his father, a gifted sportswriter for the local paper and dedicated practitioner of isometric exercises, and OF his mother, whose job as the home furnishing editor for the same paper left her little time for practicing the domestic arts at home. The many readers of Bill Bryson’s earlier classic, A Walk in the Woods, will greet the reappearance in these pages of the immortal Stephen Katz, seen hijacking literally boxcar loads of beer. He is joined in the Bryson gallery of immortal characters by the demonically clever Willoughby brothers, who apply their scientific skills and can-do attitude to gleefully destructive ends.

Warm and laugh-out-loud funny, and full of his inimitable, pitch-perfect observations, The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid is as wondrous a book as Bill Bryson has ever written. It will enchant anyone who has ever been young.

读后感

读了《闪亮的日子》,感觉作者比尔▪布莱森真有一个闪亮的童年,都说一个人的童年决定了一个人的性格,透过他的捣蛋的和充满想象力的童年,对其诙谐的笔峰和幽默的性格便可见一斑,可以说这家伙用现在的话说绝对是一枚“熊孩子”。 再反顾自己的童年,感觉不是不够疯就是忘记...

读比尔•布莱森的《闪亮的日子》,笔者常常会走神,不啻是这位以《万物简史》闻名全球、以旅游文学独领风骚的英语畅销书作家那雅俗共赏、亦庄亦谐的文笔不时地令人喷饭,更重要的是他展现的美国上世纪五十年代的生活画卷,让我们油然而生一种似曾相似的熟悉,不时会想起一些...

因为一些奇怪的原因,开始对1950年代美国感兴趣起来,从纽约背回来的折价书“五十年代编年史”翻看了还不过瘾,看到书店里的某作家回忆50年代童年生活的《闪亮的日子》,也买将回来看。结果不得了,这书居然好看的要死。Bill Bryson这人的“贫”,到了一定境界,夸张揶揄讽刺,...
