Leszek Kolakowski (1927-2009) was professor of philosophy at the University of Warsaw until the Polish political crisis of March 1968 when he was formally expelled. Hethen moved to universities inNorth America and the United Kingdom.From 1981 to 1994 he was a professor in the Committee on Social Thought andthe department of philosophy at the University of Chicago. He is best known for his critical analyses of Marxist thought, especially his three-volume history, "Main Currents of Marxism" (1976). In his later work, he increasingly focused on philosophical and religious questions. He was the author of numerous books.
This volume contains two unusual and appealing satirical works by the well-known European philosopher Kolakowski. The first, Tales from the Kingdom of Lailonia, is set in a fictional land. Each story illustrates some aspect of human inability to come to terms with imperfection, infinitude, history, and nature. The second, The Key to Heaven, is a collection of seventeen biblical tales from the Old Testament told in such a way that the story and the moral play off each other to illustrate political, moral, or existential foibles and follies.

其中一篇說名人。成名的欲望故事,可以照照我們今天看到名人博客的瘋狂現實。 主人公塔特,一心想當名人。他竭力設想一種行動,能比全世界的人都完成得更好。比如每天換六十條領帶,成為最快的鋪床疊被能手,最佳拔瓶塞專傢,後來他發現做壞一點的事會更省力一些,比如寫世界上...
評分毫無目的性,買書是僅僅是對書名感興趣,誰料楊老教授翻譯很紮實,也很考究,前麵十三個故事方麵還是值得一讀的,原來這種故事在波蘭是童話。粗粗翻看瞭後麵三分之二,天使與魔鬼的隔空對話,內容詰屈聱牙,沒看過聖經的人幾乎寸步難行。 整本故事,記住瞭暗黑係插畫傢芊禕,其...
評分《關於來洛尼亞王國的十三個童話故事》收錄瞭兩本短篇故事集:《關於來洛尼亞王國的十三個童話故事》和《天堂的鑰匙》。前者多是諷喻之作,但行文拖遝,想象力一般,可讀性不強。後者則選取聖經中的一些典故,加以戲謔式的發揮,著實展現瞭作者柯拉柯夫斯基的哲學、宗教學功底...
評分前天下班路上,在城鐵裏麵,顛來倒去的翻。已經養成職業病瞭,拿到一本新書,先看設計,封麵、扉頁、版式、封底,先從品味上給它打個分;然後看前言、後記,看看作者、譯者想在這裏講個什麼樣的story。 說實話,隻有三聯,可以把隨便一本書弄成很精緻的樣子。彆的齣版社,都還...
評分前十三個童話看不齣什麼齣彩的地方。 倒是《天堂的鑰匙》十分有趣。當然,前提是你熟悉聖經故事。看完,你就會同意作者是個相當有趣的老頭這一說法。
