In Pure Pleasure, John Carey, one of Britain's most respected literary critics, introduces us to what he believes are the fifty most enjoyable books of the twentieth century based on sheer reading pleasure. Mixing fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, Carey includes literary heavyweights like James Joyce, Thomas Mann, and T. S. Eliot, as well as more populist writers like Arthur Conan Doyle, Kingsley Amis, and John Updike. Carey also discusses masterpieces like F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and Gunter Grass's The Tin Drum, alongside lesser-known works like D. H. Lawrence's Twilight in Italy and George Orwell's Coming Up for Air.In a series of intelligent and fast-moving essays -- each devoted to a single book -- Carey mixes criticism, biography, and cultural context about each selection with illuminations on the author's inspiration and how each work was written. The end result is a book that no one who is passionate about reading should be without.
John Carey is Merton Professor of English at Oxford University, a distinguished critic, reviewer and broadcaster, and the author of several books, including studies of Donne, Dickens and Thackeray, and most recently, Pure Pleasure: A Guide to the Twentieth Century's Most Enjoyable Books, described, by James Wood in the London Review of Books, as 'likeable, wise and often right . . . one feels an attractive sense of partisanship in Carey's writing, an alliance with the ordinary, the plain spoken, the unlettered, the sympathetic and the humane. Carey writes with an Orwellian attention to decency'. He is a regular critic on BBC2's Newsnight Review. He is also the editor of the best-selling anthologies The Faber Book of Reportage, The Faber Book of Science and The Faber Book of Utopias.

在季风书店里看到《阅读的至乐》,最先吸引我的是装帧,朴素的封面色调,角落里躺着一幅与书有关的西方漫画。《阅读的至乐:20世纪最令人快乐的书》,这个书名也起得好。 可在此也要叮嘱一句,此“快乐”非彼“快乐”,尽管约翰·凯里的书单里确实有《好兵帅克》这类能让你...
评分“莫名我就喜欢你,深深地爱上你。”每次遇到一本好书,就是这样的感觉。什么是好书,大家都说好,对你个人而言未必就是。让我说的话,让你哭让你笑,能在你心上留下一条印记,就足够了。读一本书,本来是站在局外,静看书中世界,但伴随主人公成长,失落,兴奋喜悦,撕心裂肺...
评分摘自《新浪博客》 作者:王守仁 约翰•凯里是英国牛津大学默顿学院的英语教授、著名学者,撰写过关于英国小说家狄更斯、萨克雷和英国诗人多恩的学术专著,但使他扬名的是1992年出版的《知识分子与大众:文学知识界的傲慢与偏见,1880-1939》。该书站在大众立场,质疑...
评分《阅读的至乐 20世纪最令人快乐的书》约翰.凯里 英国最具威望的文学批评家约翰.凯里,向我们推荐了二十世纪五十本最令人愉悦的书,推荐的唯一原则就是——书所带来的快乐的感觉。作者是《星期日泰晤士报》首席书评人。 1.A.柯南.道尔《巴斯克维尔的猎犬》 2.安德烈.纪德《藐视...
评分“重读一遍康拉德就像是播放自己喜爱的CD。你细细聆听着,并非为了了解情节或者人物,而是为了欣赏它的遣词造句和抑扬顿挫——这才是其无可比拟的独特之处”。 上面的话再恰当不过地勾勒出了本书作者约翰•凯里文学享乐主义者的面貌,不过他并不像我们惯常对于享乐主义者的印...
