卡普辛斯基的《与希罗多德一起旅行》是一份恰当的遗嘱。 许多中欧作家一直醉心于人类记忆这个主题,例如已过世的波兰诺贝尔奖得主切斯瓦夫·米沃什(Czeslaw Milosz)的诗歌,捷克流亡作家米兰·昆德拉(Milan Kundera )的散文,还有其他数不清的作家等等。正如昆德拉所说“...

评分读到这本书之前,我对波兰记者、作者、诗人雷·卡普钦斯基一无所知,也难怪,这本《与希罗多德一起旅行》是国内第一次出版他的书。看书中的介绍后又在网上查资料,才知道2007年辞世的卡普钦斯基是波兰新闻界及文坛的重量级人物,早已享誉世界。他曾是波兰通讯社的唯一名驻外记...

评分总体来说这本两条thread的书值得一读,可能和自己的部分经历有关。但是作为一个女人纯粹从语言上翻译这本书是一种硬伤,对基本的历史还是需要补习,而各种书后致谢和校订的人如果不是缺乏历史知识就是敷衍了事未认真阅读,比如波斯的薛西斯(Xerxes)被翻成“克谢尔克谢斯”,...
图书标签: Kapuscinski journalism 英文原版 我们时代的推荐读物 外国文学 Ryszard OrpheusLibrary Fiction
From the master of literary reportage whose acclaimed books include Shah of Shahs, The Emperor, and The Shadow of the Sun, an intimate account of his first youthful forays beyond the Iron Curtain.
Just out of university in 1955, Kapuscinski told his editor that he’d like to go abroad. Dreaming no farther than Czechoslovakia, the young reporter found himself sent to India. Wide-eyed and captivated, he would discover in those days his life’s work—to understand and describe the world in its remotest reaches, in all its multiplicity. From the rituals of sunrise at Persepolis to the incongruity of Louis Armstrong performing before a stone-faced crowd in Khartoum, Kapuscinski gives us the non-Western world as he first saw it, through still-virginal Western eyes.
The companion on his travels: a volume of Herodotus, a gift from his first boss. Whether in China, Poland, Iran, or the Congo, it was the “father of history”—and, as Kapuscinski would realize, of globalism—who helped the young correspondent to make sense of events, to find the story where it did not obviously exist. It is this great forerunner’s spirit—both supremely worldly and innately Occidental—that would continue to whet Kapuscinski’s ravenous appetite for discovering the broader world and that has made him our own indispensable companion on any leg of that perpetual journey.</p>
基本可以不必读。地缘偏见不少。对地中海周边地理明显了解不多,人太懒,不爱读书。对长城的看法无知可笑-错的都那么俗套。最精彩的段落都是钞书Herodotus-那还不如去读原书。
