在《途中的镜子》这部美国二十世纪现实主义文学评书只中,第一个讨论的问题就是作家与城市。作家与城市,这是一个比较有趣的话题。城市作为现代化的一种物质表征,是很多作家攻击的对象。然而很多城市却因为作家有了不一样的韵味。比如布拉格。同样,看这本书是因为卡夫...

From one of the foremost chroniclers of the modern European experience, a panoramic view of a city that has seduced and bewitched visitors for centuries.
Prague is the magic capital of Europe. Since the days of Emperor Rudolf II, "devotee of the stars and cultivator of the spagyric art", who in the late 1500s summoned alchemists and magicians from all over the world to his castle on Hradcany hill, it has been a place of mystery and intrigue. Wars, revolutions, floods, the imposition of Soviet communism, and even the depredations of the tourist boom after the Velvet Revolution of 1989 could not destroy the unique atmosphere of this beautiful, proud, and melancholy city on the Vltava. John Banville traces Prague's often tragic history and portrays the people who made it: the emperors and princes, geniuses and charlatans, heroes and scoundrels. He also paints a portrait of the Prague of today, reveling in its newfound freedoms, eager to join the European Community and at the same time suspicious of what many Praguers see as yet another totalitarian takeover. He writes of his first visit to the city, in the depths of the Cold War, and of subsequent trips there, of the people he met, the friends he made, the places he came to know.
冷战结束前后的布拉格,有些过于私人化的游历还是相当无感。班维尔的语言倒是一如既往的漂亮。
