" It might be thought the height of poor taste to ascribe good fortune to a healthy man with a young family struck down at the age of sixty by an incurable degenerative disorder from which he must shortly die. But there is more than one sort of luck. To fall prey to a motor neuron disease is surely to have offended the Gods at some point, and there is nothing more to be said. But if you must suffer thus, better to have a well-stocked head." -Tony Judt
The Memory Chalet is a memoir unlike any you have ever read before. Each essay charts some experience or remembrance of the past through the sieve of Tony Judt's prodigious mind. His youthful love of a particular London bus route evolves into a reflection on public civility and interwar urban planning. Memories of the 1968 student riots of Paris meander through the divergent sex politics of Europe, before concluding that his generation "was a revolutionary generation, but missed the revolution." A series of road trips across America lead not just to an appreciation of American history, but to an eventual acquisition of citizenship. Foods and trains and long-lost smells all compete for Judt's attention; but for us, he has forged his reflections into an elegant arc of analysis. All as simply and beautifully arranged as a Swiss chalet-a reassuring refuge deep in the mountains of memory.
Tony Judt was educated at King's College, Cambridge and the École Normale Supérieure, Paris, and taught at Cambridge, Oxford, and Berkeley. He was the Erich Maria Remarque Professor of European Studies at New York University, in addition to being the Director of the Remarque Institute, which is dedicated to the study of Europe and which he founded in 1995.
The author or editor of fourteen books, Professor Judt was a frequent contributor to The New York Review of Books, the Times Literary Supplement, The New Republic, The New York Times and many other journals in Europe and the United States. Professor Judt is the author of Ill Fares the Land, Reappraisals: Reflections on the Forgotten Twentieth Century, and Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945, which was one of The New York Times Book Review’s Ten Best Books of 2005, winner of the Council on Foreign Relations Arthur Ross Book Award and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. He died in August 2010 at the age of sixty-two.
这本书跟我八字不合,怎么读都进不到脑子里去。。。
评分在没有读过Judt的历史著作前先读了这本类似回忆录的散文集,感受到了一位untypical Jew、meritocrat、deeply love train traveling、a bit nostalgic of old traditions的English gentleman的情怀,他也曾在年轻时去过以色列Kibbutz,也曾在二战后somehow buy communism,但最终还是成为了一个true cosmopolitan。最喜欢其中三篇,one is about him learning Czech,another is about the identity in globalization, the last is about the integrity of words.
评分not able to appreciate most of it. Being a Jew himself, his views on Israel is rather refreshing and opened up a whole new dimension for me.
评分"I prefer the edge" he said he was hyphenized, and actually everyone is. he never identified himself, but called the edge people his people... I shall miss you T_T
评分更随意更私人的沉疴遍地。生命最后时刻留下的文字,几乎读得热泪盈眶,无处不在的老历史学家的胸怀和焦虑。时不时还有帕慕克和萨义德既视感。
知识分子从来都害怕失去表达的能力,如同他们害怕面对一个被禁锢的世界,害怕一个停滞或倒退的社会出现。作为研究战后欧洲历史最重要的学者,托尼朱特亦复如此。他与物理学家霍金患有同样的疾病(肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症)。他将此自喻为“越来越彻底的、无法被假释的监禁...

评分两个生活幸福却突患绝症而全身瘫痪的人,在病床上写就了两本畅销书。 托尼.朱特好歹是在他尚能口述的时候完成了作品,法国人鲍比则是靠左眼皮的眨动一个一个识别字母写下他四万字的遗作。没有高大上的坚强宣言,鲍比用眼皮“说”出的第一句话的确是“我想去死”。朱特则...
评分文 云也退 原载 《外滩画报》 死控制着我们对生的理解和表达,没有死之平等,世上一切回忆都将失去存在的意义。假如人类消灭了死亡,哪怕只是一小部分世人可以在地球上永生,撰写回忆录这门生意也将瞬间消失。假如世上问世了第一剂长生不死药,哪怕它的定价为 5 亿美元,...
