A Journey Around My Room

萨米耶·德梅斯特（Xavler de Maistre，1763—1852），出身贵族，投身军旅，1790年因为一场决斗事件被罚关禁闭在家中42天，并在这段期间内以玩票性质写成《在自己房间里的旅行》一书，1795年甫一出版，便成为畅销书，引起极大注意与回响，开创此种另类游记的先河，在19世纪法国文学史上算得上经典之一。德梅斯特不自认为作家，著作也不多，流传下来的可能仅只这本书。

What do you do when you find yourself imprisoned in your room for six weeks? Xavier de Maistre, a twenty-seven-year-old Frenchman found himself in this uneasy situation when he was arrested in Turin after a duel, in the Spring of 1790. But even confined to his room, as he was, with only a butler and a dog for company, de Maistre managed to fill his time by embarking on a journey around his bedroom, later writing an account of what he had seen, and eight years later, making a second journey, this time travelling at night, and making it as far as the window ledge. Whether travelling from his bed to his sofa, or even to his mirror, he wears his 'travelling outfit', consisting of his favourite pink and blue pyjamas. Out of his forced reclusion comes a delightful fantasy, and de Maistre's new take on the travel literature of the past went on to inspire many future writers, such as Marcel Proust. 'De Maistre's work springs from a profound and suggestive insight: that the pleasure we derive from journeys is perhaps dependent more on the mindset with which we travel than on the destination we travel to. If only we could apply a travelling mindset to our own locales, we might find these places becoming no less interesting than the high mountain passes and jungles of South America' - From the Foreword by Alain de Botton 'De Maistre...found the utmost strangeness in himself and the things he had taken for granted.' The Times

读后感

我和我的雪白的棉被是否足够轻盈？我睡在绿色的麦田里，风也不是那么微小，可是很舒服， 阳光被风一吹似乎都起了涟漪，在麦田上，在棉被上，在我的脸上小有节奏地跳起舞来。 我就这样躺着，不睡觉也决不起床，幸福得不想闭上眼睛，我要一直眼睁睁看着这样的情景，一点也不虚构...  

最早是在书店看到它。封套上夸大其词的宣传，书中的大字体和大量的留白，让我断定这是一本商业目的太重的不值得一读的小书。后来在豆瓣上又一次看到它时早已忘了书店中的印象了，仅仅是被这个书名吸引，就到网上书店订购了本。 拿到书后才懊恼，我怎么会买下它呢。不过既然买...

本来看了《书城》的推荐还有那么一点儿兴趣 在书店一翻就大失所望了—— 整本书可以在20分钟内翻阅完毕而且不留遗憾，可见其内容份量。一页书上寥寥无几的字数，欺负咱平民老百姓斗大的字不识一箩筐么？ 还“时隔260年后终于有了中文版！”这弱智宣传语……照这样...
