评分这是一本有着情景喜剧式幽默的故事书,发生在上个世纪五十年代的美国得梅因州,故事的主人公是围绕着霹雳小字比尔·布莱森一家的所有美国公民。欢笑始终贯穿了我的整个阅读过程, “生活的伟大神话之一便是说孩提时代过得太快。其实,儿童世界的时间走得才...
评分今天还要去医院,但心里觉得比较安慰,因为我的包包里放着布莱森的书!(这时候是不是应该配合着把书贴在脸上,然后做一个最甜蜜的微笑?)嗯哼,不仅如此,我还留了一本布莱森的书预备着在火车上读呢。建议,尽量在密闭的空间人少的时候看,因为也许自控能力不强的你会咯咯咯...
评分与其说比尔·布莱森是一个文笔风趣的作家,毋庸说,他更像一个有着上帝般全景视角的说书人。在《闪亮的日子》,这本关于美国50年代日常生活的回忆录中,他从家庭琐事入手,以自己童年成长为线索,融合了他根据当年媒体的报道所提炼出的时代精神和信息,基本就像周立波的《笑侃...

图书标签: 传记 英文原版 BillBryson Bill.Bryson 英文 美国 外国文学 回忆录
From one of the most beloved and bestselling authors in the English language, a vivid, nostalgic, and utterly hilarious memoir of growing up in the 1950s
Bill Bryson was born in the middle of the American century—1951—in the middle of the United States—Des Moines, Iowa—in the middle of the largest generation in American history—the baby boomers. As one of the best and funniest writers alive, he is perfectly positioned to mine his memories of a totally all-American childhood for 24-carat memoir gold. Like millions of his generational peers, Bill Bryson grew up with a rich fantasy life as a superhero. In his case, he ran around his house and neighborhood with an old football jersey with a thunderbolt on it and a towel about his neck that served as his cape, leaping tall buildings in a single bound and vanquishing awful evildoers (and morons)—in his head—as "The Thunderbolt Kid."
Using this persona as a springboard, Bill Bryson re-creates the life of his family and his native city in the 1950s in all its transcendent normality—a life at once completely familiar to us all and as far away and unreachable as another galaxy. It was, he reminds us, a happy time, when automobiles and televisions and appliances (not to mention nuclear weapons) grew larger and more numerous with each passing year, and DDT, cigarettes, and the fallout from atmospheric testing were considered harmless or even good for you. He brings us into the life of his loving but eccentric family, including affectionate portraits of his father, a gifted sportswriter for the local paper and dedicated practitioner of isometric exercises, and OF his mother, whose job as the home furnishing editor for the same paper left her little time for practicing the domestic arts at home. The many readers of Bill Bryson’s earlier classic, A Walk in the Woods, will greet the reappearance in these pages of the immortal Stephen Katz, seen hijacking literally boxcar loads of beer. He is joined in the Bryson gallery of immortal characters by the demonically clever Willoughby brothers, who apply their scientific skills and can-do attitude to gleefully destructive ends.
Warm and laugh-out-loud funny, and full of his inimitable, pitch-perfect observations, The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid is as wondrous a book as Bill Bryson has ever written. It will enchant anyone who has ever been young.
