Here are two thousand years of London’s history and folklore, its chroniclers and criminals and plain citizens, its food and drink and countless pleasures. Blackfriar’s and Charing Cross, Paddington and Bedlam. Westminster Abbey and St. Martin in the Fields. Cockneys and vagrants. Immigrants, peasants, and punks. The Plague, the Great Fire, the Blitz. London at all times of day and night, and in all kinds of weather. In well-chosen anecdotes, keen observations, and the words of hundreds of its citizens and visitors, Ackroyd reveals the ingenuity and grit and vitality of London. Through a unique thematic tour of the physical city and its inimitable soul, the city comes alive.
介绍城市,大抵是有套路的。比如《孤独星球》系列,科学而系统地整理了一座城市的方方面面,吃喝玩乐分门别类而列,核心受众应该是那些预算较为充足的旅游者或迁居者,一册在手就可以被飨以佳肴,寄情声色,深入体验某个地方的风土人情,愉快地度过或长或短的一段时光。 但对于...
评分本来看网上介绍,以为是本精彩纷呈的历史传记。结果买回来一看,傻了眼,通篇是泛泛而谈的空话,从开篇到结束,大量对其他著作中只言片语的引述和作者的感慨,几乎没有任何具体的历史事件或是历史重要建筑哪怕稍有内容的描述。 入主伦敦的三任国王,怎么来的怎么走的,几座世...
评分欧洲中世纪有一句谚语:“城市的空气使人自由(Stadt Luft macht frei)。”乍一听,这完全不符合事实。城市空气是污浊、恶臭的,满街粪便污水横流,楼上居民窗口倒马桶。居民在自家后院堆积垃圾杂物,托马斯·莫尔曾担任治安副官后,对伦敦的肮脏深有体会,他在著作《乌托邦》里...
评分#读书 《伦敦传》 彼得阿克罗伊德 著 作者是地道的土生土长的伦敦人,对伦敦史学有很高的造诣。该书近700页,不同于一般的史书,书写历史重大事件,而是通过在一个区域或一条街上所发生的一些不同时间的小事件。读完该书在脑海中可以大概想象出大伦敦城的发展路径,如何从小到...
评分这书唯一的不足是没讲伦敦足球。哈哈 伦敦的足球,还是应该写一写吧,足球对于这座城市还是很重要的。——————我确实写不了140 个字
