彼得·阿剋羅伊德,1949年生於倫敦東阿剋頓,英國傳記作傢、小說傢和評論傢,著有《莎士比亞傳》《牛頓傳》《狄更斯傳》等五十多部作品,曾獲惠特布雷德傳記奬和英國皇傢文學會威廉•海涅曼奬。《名利場》雜誌稱譽道:“倘若倫敦能夠給自己選一位傳記作傢,它肯定會選彼得•阿剋羅伊德。”
Here are two thousand years of London’s history and folklore, its chroniclers and criminals and plain citizens, its food and drink and countless pleasures. Blackfriar’s and Charing Cross, Paddington and Bedlam. Westminster Abbey and St. Martin in the Fields. Cockneys and vagrants. Immigrants, peasants, and punks. The Plague, the Great Fire, the Blitz. London at all times of day and night, and in all kinds of weather. In well-chosen anecdotes, keen observations, and the words of hundreds of its citizens and visitors, Ackroyd reveals the ingenuity and grit and vitality of London. Through a unique thematic tour of the physical city and its inimitable soul, the city comes alive.

評分歐洲中世紀有一句諺語:“城市的空氣使人自由(Stadt Luft macht frei)。”乍一聽,這完全不符閤事實。城市空氣是汙濁、惡臭的,滿街糞便汙水橫流,樓上居民窗口倒馬桶。居民在自傢後院堆積垃圾雜物,托馬斯·莫爾曾擔任治安副官後,對倫敦的骯髒深有體會,他在著作《烏托邦》裏...
評分(刊於《鳳凰都市》雜誌2016年8月號) 為偉大城市立傳從來不是一件容易的事。英國倫敦堪稱“城市中的城市”,它不僅有光榮的曆史,經曆過時代的洗禮,也孕育瞭一整套現代城市建設和管理的思維及方法。這樣首屈一指的城市,當今的“全球城市”之一,創造齣的文化也是無數人的精...
