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.
大胡子比尔•布莱森的作品幽默、睿智,文笔非常潇洒,是当代最负胜名的游记作家,写了多本极其畅销的游记作品,同时还是一位科普作家,那本大受欢迎的《万物简史》也出自他手。他(1915—)生于美国艾奥瓦州,热爱旅游,当初就是通过写游记受到媒体赏识和大众喜爱。其后他定...
评分比尔不莱森几乎可以说是我最喜欢的游记作家,全书随处可见令人捧腹的金光闪闪的句子。今天摘抄的时候,我突然想,其实通篇写的都是他对世界的好奇啊,只有被好奇心驱使着去探寻的欲望,才能写下这些让人忍俊不禁的文字。好奇心是很难保持的,在去过一些地方,看过一些风景之后...
评分说明:之前没看过Bill Bryson的书,这本《东西莫辩逛欧洲》也只看了第五章“布鲁塞尔”和第六章“比利时”。本文在旧文(指出译者将第一两段中的 “Dutch”都译成了“德语”等问题)基础上进一步比较了原文和中译,提出几点浅见。当然,整体来看,这两篇译文质量实属上乘,行文...
评分我是从看到布鲁日开始喜欢这本书的。前部分的翻译不是我喜欢的风格。但越到后面越有趣,人有趣,文字有趣。 “比尔•布莱森之所以能在二十世纪的旅游文学中占据一席之地,并成为目前世界公认的最有趣的旅游文学作家,是因为他擅长用不同的眼光来看待他所游历的世界,他真切地...
评分Bill Bryson的作品在旅行文学里是个异数,他的文字风趣横生甚至有些粗俗,丝毫不掩饰行程中的尴尬和低落时分。他眼里的欧洲一点儿也不完美,瑞典小镇的冬天冷清得要命;意大利博物馆票价高昂还没东西看,奥地利人民完全忘了二战的血债,瑞士小城昂贵而没意思,南斯拉夫穷得揭不...
