"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 roadtrips 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 o a reassuring refuge deep in the mountains of memory.
Tony Judt was educated at King's College, Cambridge and the Ecole Normale Superieure, 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 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 US. 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, the 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

热衷于思考的托尼·朱特偏偏患上了“渐冻人症”,这不啻于一种最残忍的酷刑。身体一点点被禁锢在静止状态,逐渐不能写字、不能言语,疾病不但慢慢切断了他同外界交流的途径,甚至剥夺了他跟随自己的思想起舞的乐趣。于是他被称为人文学术界的“霍金”。 托尼·朱特很清楚,他要...
評分虽然《战后欧洲史》的电子版就在硬盘里摆着,但看的第一本托尼•朱特的书,还是他这本文学性质颇浓的自传。作者是著名史家和公共知识分子,但这自传却是非常私人化的回忆、感慨与剖白,诚恳坦率,充满声音与滋味。很多地方,朱特那种“气人的孤高”简直溢出纸面,却神奇地并...
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﹣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...
