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.

對一個關心經濟和政治的人而言,此書並無什麼新鮮,大多數事情你都已經知道,而且作者也隻是止步於描述而沒有深入;對一個不關心經濟和政治的人,當然你也沒有興趣讀這本書。 但此書仍然有可讀之處,首先是作為國外記者,他眼中的這些事和我們看到的並不一定相同。我們已經習...
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...
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5月的廣州正值雨季,我們走在泥濘的貝崗小路上,前往一傢咖啡店,在那裏舉行我們的第二期讀書會。 我們沒有費心為這個有七名成員的讀書會想一個名字,因為明白這學期結束,大傢就將各奔東西,尋找實習和工作,但我們還是想抓住最後一段時間,讀一些“與找工作無關”的書。 這...

澳洲買的,讀瞭很久。這個時代的中國有自己的野心,好像每個人也有自己的野心。讓我們很難安心在生活裏
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。
評分紐約客的風格,印象最深的為小悅悅那章
評分有助於瞭解外國人對中國的看法 內容豐富
評分He should continue. So many new topics since last summer.
