Bill Bryson was born in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1951. Settled in England for many years, he moved to America with his wife and four children for a few years, but has since returned to live in the UK. His bestselling travel books include The Lost Continent, Notes From a Small Island, A Walk in the Woods and Down Under. His acclaimed work of popular science, A Short History of Nearly Everything, won the Aventis Prize and the Descartes Prize, and was the biggest selling non-fiction book of the decade in the UK.
Bill Bryson's first travel book, The Lost Continent, was unanimously acclaimed as one of the funniest books in years. In Neither Here nor There he brings his unique brand of humour to bear on Europe as he shoulders his backpack, keeps a tight hold on his wallet, and journeys from Hammerfest, the northernmost town on the continent, to Istanbul on the cusp of Asia. Fluent in, oh, at least one language, he retraces his travels as a student twenty years before. Whether braving the homicidal motorists of Paris, being robbed by gypsies in Florence, attempting not to order tripe and eyeballs in a German restaurant or window-shopping in the sex shops of the Reeperbahn, Bryson takes in the sights, dissects the culture and illuminates each place and person with his hilariously caustic observations. He even goes to Liechtenstein.
因为之前很少看书的缘故,现在看着这种外国人的书的中文译本,难免会觉得有点不适应、别扭,所以断断续续,这本书看了两个礼拜才看完。书中作者对自己的旅行见闻经历的描写,有很多有趣,值得回味的地方,也有作者对历史、城市的理性思考,从中也学到一些知识。只是读到后半部...
评分比尔·布赖森的旅行总是兼有深度和广度,漫不经心的所谓行程规划,恰恰能遭遇俯拾皆是的妙缘。欧洲大陆不同国家的风土人情,由他这样一个生命中满溢豁达和幽默感的人讲述出来,简直是滑稽可笑的,最重要的是,每个国家或者地区都被他写出了各自真实的脾气。比尔·布赖森...
评分I learned the fact that Bryson was popular (besides Wikipedia says so) from the library checking status list. I’m so used to that when searching for certain writer, all his works would be neatly listed with the status description of “available at xxx libr...
评分看一本书之前先去找找前人对它的评价是我的一个习惯,不知道能不能算是迷信或者是坏毛病。布莱森的书是在一期杂志上被推荐的,作为整体被杂志介绍给读者,有《东西莫辩逛欧洲》、《失落的小不列颠》等等。文章似乎对布莱森的书作过点评和排序的,但是我忘了,所以在书架...
评分喜欢比尔幽默睿智的文笔。我们所期待的旅行是一路都有行人对你微笑的欢乐回忆,但即使是在欧洲这样发达的区域,旅行者仍然时时会碰到傲慢的侍者、鲁莽的司机,以及时刻准备偷你钱包才不管你死活的职业小偷!但是在作者的笔下这些都变得妙趣横生。 我更喜欢这本书的英文名字 Ne...
