翻译的词语感觉比较精准,但是读起来并不是很易懂,因为语言逻辑和语境很奇怪,这是事实。配图有意思。功能性满足,视觉太粗糙,都有点恶心了。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。...
评分我没有考虑过,当我们阅读时,我们看到了什么,嗅到了什么,听到了什么。我一直是放任他们在脑子里随意流动,带我走到哪里,我就走到哪里,任由他勾起无数的回忆与幻想。 Peter Mendelsund 认真的考虑了这个问题,还画出了我们看到什么的可能性,仅仅是可能性,因为每个人想象...
评分整本书都在牵引着我们的想象力,文字加上有视觉冲击力的图片,突然让我们开始思考阅读时的问题。把书名补全后,还原了阅读时的体验。以前读小说的时候有这样的体验,主角到底是什么样子,每个人头脑里主角的样子都一样吗?还有,主角说的是什么语言?(特别是主角是外国人的,...

A San Francisco Chronicle and Kirkus Best Book of the Year
A gorgeously unique, fully illustrated exploration into the phenomenology of reading—how we visualize images from reading works of literature, from one of our very best book jacket designers, himself a passionate reader.
What do we see when we read? Did Tolstoy really describe Anna Karenina? Did Melville ever really tell us what, exactly, Ishmael looked like? The collection of fragmented images on a page—a graceful ear there, a stray curl, a hat positioned just so—and other clues and signifiers helps us to create an image of a character. But in fact our sense that we know a character intimately has little to do with our ability to concretely picture our beloved—or reviled—literary figures. In this remarkable work of nonfiction, Knopf's Associate Art Director Peter Mendelsund combines his profession, as an award-winning designer; his first career, as a classically trained pianist; and his first love, literature—he considers himself first and foremost as a reader—into what is sure to be one of the most provocative and unusual investigations into how we understand the act of reading.
真的很棒啊,来自于图书设计师的阅读感受。文字配合上图画线条等等排版装帧设计元素,跟着作者我还列了一串书单,因为不再是纯文字罗列才三个小时在嘈杂的咖啡图书馆看完,看完后又陷入了对读书的巨大热情,也是很好的“刺激”了

评分What we are observing is not the thing itself, but the tools we have constructed to observe that thing. Like the metaphor of “floating on the margin of the ensuing scene” when describing the immersive drift of reading.
评分我看书最不喜欢的是景色描写或是纯粹给读者营造一个视觉环境的描写,经常连读几遍还是想不清楚,我的视觉想象力大概不是那么发达。然而有时看改编自小说的电影却又对某些人物的选角或是造型皱眉,离想象中太远。这本书把阅读心理学以浅显的方式表述出来,虽然对视觉想象力不发达的我来说看得很累,但最后的篇章将读书与认识世界联系起来是让我颇为感动的
评分阅读就是在自制一部简化电影。挺有意思的书。
