The news is everywhere. We can’t stop constantly checking it on our computer screens, but what is this doing to our minds?
We are never really taught how to make sense of the torrent of news we face every day, writes Alain de Botton (author of the best-selling The Architecture of Happiness), but this has a huge impact on our sense of what matters and of how we should lead our lives. In his dazzling new book, de Botton takes twenty-five archetypal news stories—including an airplane crash, a murder, a celebrity interview and a political scandal—and submits them to unusually intense analysis with a view to helping us navigate our news-soaked age. He raises such questions as Why are disaster stories often so uplifting? What makes the love lives of celebrities so interesting? Why do we enjoy watching politicians being brought down? Why are upheavals in far-off lands often so boring?
In The News: A User’s Manual, de Botton has written the ultimate guide for our frenzied era, certain to bring calm, understanding and a measure of sanity to our daily (perhaps even hourly) interactions with the news machine.
Alain de Botton is the author of nonfiction works on subjects ranging from love and travel to architecture and philosophy. His best-selling books include How Proust Can Change Your Life, The Art of Travel and The Architecture of Happiness. He lives in London, where he founded The School of Life (www.theschooloflife.com) and Living Architecture (www.living-architecture.co.uk).
很傳統的人文視角,某種程度上也可以理解為歐洲許知遠的眼光。我承認作者的很多看法,新聞並沒有改變我們世界觀裏的冷漠和狹隘。但或許我們的人性就是如此冷漠而狹隘。

星期五的晚上可能是所有人在一周中最神往的时光。当然,那些没日没夜不分周末假期都要一心扑到工作上的加班狗除外。 这是一个无人接管的真空地带,漂浮着自由与自在。你刚刚从为期五天的囚禁中刑满释放,而周末又没有正式拉开序幕。此时身心松弛,满怀期待,揣着几分礼物未拆...
評分互联网时代下,想找一个没有新闻的角落似乎已不那么容易。 当所有人逐渐被新闻所渗透,但却很少能意识到新闻的强大影响。 娱乐、政治、自然灾害、节日……我们需要外界的不安来消解、转移视线,以此获得片刻内心的平静。书中引用黑格尔:“当新闻取代宗教、成为我们的核心指导...
評分“教堂尖顶那朵无人问津的浮云,拿着注射器温柔贴近病人胳膊的医生,灌木篱笆下的肥胖田鼠,敲打白煮蛋壳的孩子和一旁满眼慈爱的母亲,胆大心细巡视海岸的核潜艇,研制出首个新型引擎样本的工厂,以及虽百般挑衅却仍能保持克制和宽容的伴侣。”——这些日常生活中较为正常、...
評分文/俞耕耘 在新闻如空气无所不在,成为我们呼吸与生存的当下,思考这一平淡寻常的习惯活动显得似乎小题大做、莫名其妙。然而,它却包含着社会的密码、生存的技术与权力的运作。德波顿这一才子作家,将目光投向新闻,的确不失为又一次“观念的历险”。 《新闻的骚动》看似如闲...
評分在京东看到最喜欢的英国作家又出书了,而且话题还是我格外关心的新闻,喜不自胜,当然要拍下。 如同他人的赞誉一样,阿兰德波顿是那种可以把扫帚都写得趣味盎然的人。作为文史双修的大才子,他恰恰没有把话题首先放在太高远的抽象名词上,而是离你我都很近的旅行、建筑、新闻、...
