" 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.
"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

評分Tony Judt's writing is timeless.
評分更隨意更私人的沉屙遍地。生命最後時刻留下的文字,幾乎讀得熱淚盈眶,無處不在的老曆史學傢的胸懷和焦慮。時不時還有帕慕剋和薩義德既視感。
﹣一本十分優雅的小書。 ﹣談的是過去的歐美,不是系統性的文章,但從片斷中還是會讀到十分有意思的片斷。 ﹣看這本書時,確實會想起了霍布斯邦的《趣味橫生的時代》,當然後者要厚重很多。而這本作為作者病重時的回憶文章,沒有了那麼多的責任與分析,卻透露著作者的智慧與...
評分源网址:http://dajia.qq.com/blog/394817103103946 《记忆小屋》是我去年最喜欢的书之一,托尼·朱特也是我最崇拜的历史学家之一。 他是当代最重要的欧洲思想研究者,《战后欧州史》、《沉疴遍地》等名著都是很难超越的思想大作,2009年,因其“智慧、洞察力和非凡的勇气”...
評分“我们无法选择人生在何处启程,却可以选择在何处结尾。我知道我的选择:我要乘坐那辆小火车,无所谓终点,就这样一直坐下去。” 我也想坐一辆属于自己的小火车,像作者那样一直坐下去,的确就如作者所说:“无所谓终点。”我一直很享受追求途中的乐趣,享受途中所看到的美景,...
評分我们完全依赖于记忆而活,但从不觉得记忆有多么重要。生活的一个悖论就在于,那些习以为常的拥有就该是理所应当的存在——存在即合理的合法化说明。我第一次察觉到记忆的不可靠,对其产生恐惧,是在涉猎英文时,无论我如何反复背诵那些英文单词,就是无法让它们在我的脑海中产...
