市场上的旅游书籍汗牛充栋,能让我掏钱包的却很少。 我会买的,是我自称为泛旅游书籍一类,也许全书没有出现旅游两字,但介绍了当地的历史人文、风土人情,是除功略外的必修课。 《精灵之城:德里一年》就是此类书籍中的佼佼者,值得向爱好旅行、历史、文化、宗...
评分《精灵之城:德里一年》基本上是与奈保尔关于印度的三部曲是同时看的,写的都是印度,因此在很多时候,都将这几本书的内容混杂在一起,难以区分。当然奈保尔的作品是相当有名了,而这本书则知道的人不多,但不管怎么样,他们对于印度的感受则是一致的。不过我唯一用以区...
评分在新德里书店,店主向我推荐这本书——这是在印度知名的畅销书作者。 我犹豫了,假如作者的叙述或描写太史实或者本地化,我肯定消化不来。 回头见同行的老外买了一本,她说,这位作者语言太迷人了,不能错过。呵呵,错过就错过了吧,也罢,就我这英文水平,...
评分在印度的异乡人强烈推荐此书..本人用RS 325 购于新德里的KUHAN-MARKET..热情的店主还外送了两个小书签.. 还好有这本书伴我渡过了大吉岭上的那段呕吐的日子..本书是一苏格兰小伙子写于上世纪80年代..作为一本德里的旅游传记..作者用第一人称深刻地记录了在德里一年的所见所感.....
评分所谓初到德里者必读,就是作者以一个外国人的角度,向外国人展现了印度首都最富魅力之处。 这里写了很多德里的历史,但是都是和作者个人的现实经历密切相连,或者说,作者但凡要写点历史,都要想办法将它和现实联系起来,哪怕到那废墟上实地走一走,绝不会上来就说公元多少多...

Sparkling with irrepressible wit, City of Djinns peels back the layers of Delhi's centuries-old history, revealing an extraordinary array of characters along the way-from eunuchs to descendants of great Moguls. With refreshingly open-minded curiosity, William Dalrymple explores the seven "dead" cities of Delhi as well as the eighth city-today's Delhi. Underlying his quest is the legend of the djinns, fire-formed spirits that are said to assure the city's Phoenix-like regeneration no matter how many times it is destroyed. Entertaining, fascinating, and informative, City of Djinns is an irresistible blend of research and adventure.
Average piece of work, which is to be expected, since the author wrote it when he was only 25.
评分走马观花。没看完。
评分what this book has given me is more than my two and a half years life in India. A great book on Delhi's history. You get a chance to know the fascinating stories behind the chaotic presence.

评分I wish every city had a travel writer as talented as Dalrymple. It’s among the most amusing and profound books I’ve read in a while, and he wrote it when he was only 25... highly recommended for those traveling to Delhi for the first time.
