彼得·阿克罗伊德,1949年生于伦敦东阿克顿,英国传记作家、小说家和评论家,著有《莎士比亚传》《牛顿传》《狄更斯传》等五十多部作品,曾获惠特布雷德传记奖和英国皇家文学会威廉•海涅曼奖。《名利场》杂志称誉道:“倘若伦敦能够给自己选一位传记作家,它肯定会选彼得•阿克罗伊德。”
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.

评分伦敦,起于英格兰平原之上,卧于泰晤士河之侧,大不列颠联合王国之首都也,欧罗巴最大之城市也,盎格鲁撒克逊人之老巢也。呜呼,伦敦即英国也,英国即伦敦也,故而有英伦之响称! 在《伦敦传》开头,阿克罗伊德就开门见山地写道,“伦敦是一具人体……其头颅为耶稣基督,余下部...
