Evan Osnos joined The New Yorker as a staff writer in 2008. He was the magazine's correspondent in China, where he lived in a restored house in Beijing north of the Forbidden City, from 2005 until 2013 when he moved to Washington, D.C. He has received many prizes, including the Asia Society's Osborn Elliott Prize for Excellence in Journalism on Asia and the Livingston Award for Young Journalists. Osnos previously worked as the Beijing Bureau Chief of the Chicago Tribune, where he contributed to a series that won a 2008 Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting.
A young army captain who risked execution to swim from free-market Taiwan to Communist China. A barber who made $150 million in the gambling dens of Macau. The richest woman in China, a recycling tycoon known as the 'Wastepaper Queen'. Age of Ambition describes some of the billion individual lives that make up China's story - one that unfolds on remote farms, in glittering mansions, and in the halls of power of the world's largest authoritarian regime. Together they describe the defining clash taking place today: between the individual and the Communist Party's struggle to retain control. Here is a China infused with a sense of boundless possibility and teeming romance. Yet it is also riven by contradictions. It is the world's largest buyer of Rolls Royces and Ferraris yet the word 'luxury' is banned from billboards. It has more Christians than members of the Communist Party. And why does a government that has lifted more people from poverty than any other so strictly restrain freedom of expression? Based on years of research, Age of Ambition is a stunning narrative that reveals China as we have never understood it before.

終於把Age of Ambition掃瞭尾。中後部似乎因為頻繁交代幾個重要采訪對象的後續,稍顯拖遝,但總體而言,這本書還是提供瞭非常愉快、信息量喜人的閱讀。 歐逸文2008年至2013年為《紐約客》供稿,不可避免地,他經常被抓來與前任——2000年到2007年《紐約客》駐華記者何偉作比較...
評分長年纍月來習慣瞭隔靴搔癢式的新聞報道,突然間送我一把尖刀,剔開包裹著這個社會的那塊遮羞布,我著實有點不適應。就像一個近視眼患者,以為世界就是模糊的,卻在配完一副眼鏡後,看到畫麵清晰而又陌生。 作為一個外國新聞工作者,Evan旁觀者的視角揭露瞭我們自己...

評分讀完整本書後,我不免有些傷感。 作為《紐約客》的駐京記者,歐逸文很自然會被讀者拿來同他的前任何偉比較。他們兩者的風格不一,何偉的文章顯然完全深入瞭他採訪對象的生活,而歐逸文則擅長在宏觀層麵考慮問題。若是要我給個答案,我會覺得何偉的著作更值得反復閱讀。但問題...
評分五月份我參加瞭他的簽名會,他和電視裏一樣英俊與犀利。 這本書也許對於一個不是中國人來說是一本很好的書,我理解他作為一個外國人努力的學習中國的語言與文化,他也成功看到瞭ZF與PEOPLE的分裂,但是我總是覺得仿佛缺失瞭什麼關於中國深刻的見地,隻是在廣泛的描述一個問題...

已經並不足以啓發我什麼瞭,隻是感覺野心強大的人太過於可怕,但飛黃騰達的也必得是這種人。
評分Cross the river by feeling for the stones -- Deng" ——"AGE OF AMBITION" by Even Osnos 「寫得蠻好的其實,畢竟作者住在中國那麼多年,但無論是新近看的『Chinese Rules』或是這本都沒有之前的『尋路中國』係列好看,也許是相關的書看太多瞭,寫來寫去總是繞不開那些事件。」
評分那些年我知道的事和我不知道的細節。私譯名是“狂望時代”,欲望,希望和失望皆張狂的年代。作者連貫的敘事邏輯有效解決瞭多重跳躍敘事易造成的碎片化問題,確實寫得一手好文章。

評分算是一本口水書吧,將邏輯上不很連貫的幾個人的故事拼接在一起組成的。如果喜歡時事的,特彆是敏感時事的可以看看,但總體來看像本報告文學,缺乏必要的深度。不推薦購買。
