What is visible to the naked eye has been exhaustively raked over; in UNDERGROUND LONDON, acclaimed travel writer Stephen Smith provides an alternative guide and history of the capital. It's a journey through the passages and tunnels of the city, the bunkers and tunnels, crypts and shadows. As well as being a contemporary tour of underground London, it's also an exploration through time: Queen Boudicca lies beneath Platform 10 at King's Cross (legend has it); Dick Turpin fled the Bow Street Runners along secret passages leading from the cellar of the Spaniards pub in North London; the remains of a pre-Christian Mithraic temple have been found near the Bank of England; on the platforms of the now defunct King William Street Underground, posters still warn that 'Careless talk costs lives'. Stephen Smith uncovers the secrets of the city by walking through sewers, tunnels under such places as Hampton Court, ghost tube stations, and long lost rivers such as the Fleet and the Tyburn. This is 'alternative' history at its best.

書不錯。 不過翻譯裝B過甚,錶麵看似文采卓然,實則油膩反胃。譯者年輕,師從權威,如果能沉靜用工,脫去浮華,當有大成。

評分書挺有趣,翻譯還行但有些地方刻意追求音意相照反而讓人讀的有點不舒服。我英文是很糟糕的,能指齣的隻是一些常識性錯誤,現在還沒看完,待補充。 1,63頁譯者注2——這個錯得相當勁爆,竟然說“《1984》裏的101號房間是主角史密斯的房間”。 2,把“我來,我見,我徵服”翻...
評分地上的東西暴露在陽光下,時時炫耀著錶象,這些東西斷不瞭氧,所以纔能用奢靡、浮華和光鮮示人,等到哪天它們被深埋入地下,我們纔更容易剝掉陽光給它們鍍的金,接近它們已是過去時的真相:更汙穢,更黑暗,也可能更真實。 還在讀,已經發現這本書的趣味所在瞭。路過正...
評分在深圳的圖書館無意間邂逅的一本書。隻因找不到閤適的書本,順手拾起彆人看過的名目。看書養成的習慣是看到優美的字句總會刻意的摘錄。一本可以讓我邊看邊摘錄的好書。 可能是封麵黑色襯底的緣故,亦或是字體的大小很符閤我的感官的需求,也可能是摸著紙張從手指傳來的溫柔舒服...
