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.

P74,叶芝《东方朝圣客》 渴望寻找那兽性的神秘 译注说,译文和注释出自李斯编译的诺贝尔文学奖文集叶芝诗选,时代文艺出版社 这位的名声可不太好 前些日子赵毅衡在上海书评上评了他的《知识分子与大众——文学知识界的傲慢与偏见,1880-1939》 http://news.21cn.com/today...
評分“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...
評分難以想像這本書的作者是《知識分子與大眾》一書的作者。它讓我想起了明星們代言的牛皮膏藥! 看了一半不到就沒有任何可以讓我可以繼續意淫下去的動力!我想像不出來作者讀這50本書會有任何的快感快樂。因為書裡幾乎沒有任何文字描述這50本書究竟快樂在哪裡?這本書...
